Great property - our room was very spacious and comfortable with traditional Japanese elements that made it special. Sasa and Annie our hosts were fantastic and really looked after us - it was raining when we arrived and they picked us up from the station and took us to a wonderful local restaurant where we had a fabulous night. Mikawa is about 20 km out of Kanazawa but train station is close and it was lovely to be out of the busy tourist areas. Thank you Sasa and Annie for a wonderful stay.

    This Ryokan hotel is just next to two amazing sights: Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden. The hotel provides you yukata for men and kimono for women, and you can keep them if you like (we did!). Breakfast was good but not great. The traditional Japanese style room was excellent with a small sitting area, which was quite pleasant. The staff was excellent and made us feel quite welcome. The onsen was excellent and quite hot; the water minerally and soothing. The facility was excellent.

    fantastic family run ryokan (traditional japanese inn), with a shared onsen, outstanding food, and a traditional room with tatami floors, paper wall deco and clothes to wear during the stay (not mandatory of course). The manager is very kind and paying close attention to details. We had a delicious dinner in the room (highly recommended!!) prepared by the family, with salmon, tempura, sashimi, a large prawn, miso soup, rice, fruits, and may small nipples - it's the best dinner experience we had in Japan.
