Having never stayed at a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn, this was an experience that we both thoroughly enjoyed. The Kanazawa Chaya is located a very short 3 min walk from the JR Kanazawa railway station and is easy to find. The Higashichaya Old Town, Kenrokuen Garden, and Omicho Market are also within easy walking distance. The entrance is through a small, landscaped portico area, which makes a perfect visual and mental separation from the streets outside. The lobby is spacious and equally tranquil. The staff were very helpful in explaining (in basic English) the various amenities of the hotel and assisting us through the check-in process. Our room was very spacious, with tatami flooring, sliding shoji paper doors, a delightful tokonoma, and a reasonable western-style bathroom. The low table at the centre of the room, replaced with a futon every night. We were provided a yukata set, comprising a yukata, yukata jacket, obi (belt), and socks. For the uninitiated these traditional garments function as a bathrobe, and loungewear – they can be worn to the onsen, dinner and breakfast, and even to bed as sleepwear. Our stay usually included an elaborate multi-course dinner, kaiseki ryori (Japanese haute cuisine), featuring local and seasonal specialities, and a traditional breakfast in the morning. Alcohol is not included but added to your bill. You will need to confirm the time for dinner and breakfast the day before your meal. We both enjoyed the use of the hotel’s onsen, another first for my wife, it was so refreshing after each day of sightseeing in the area. I would wholeheartedly recommend this ryokan experience to anyone travelling through Japan – we both felt lie treasured guests.

Perfect location by bus/train stations for easy arrival and departure, and it was easy to walk to the main sights around town. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the on-site bath lovely. We enjoyed breakfast so much and were able to walk to many dinner restaurants nearby! Would stay here again!

The Kanazawa Chaya ryokan exceeded all my expectations! I got an issue for my reservation, I talked with the super friendly and nice staff and after some checks they confirmed to me that I could stay for the booked night. The room it is really big, with Japanese tatami and beatiful interior design such as paper lamp and Japanese paintings on the wall. The arrival was really nice and pleasant, with explanation (in basic English) of every amenity of the hotel and room as well, and I got green tea and traditional Japanese sweets. I enjoyed the private onsen that is available for guests for a long time (5 am to midnight), and you can reserve massages as well. The traditional Japanese breakfast dressed with Yukata inside the wonderful restaurant with Japanese paintings is just a great experience with the staff dressed like Geisha style and always smiling at you. I also appreciated the traditional Japanese music during breakfast and the futon was super comfortable! I was seriously impressed by the staff: they are super polite and helpful and allowed me to leave my luggage before checking in as well as after checking out so that I can enjoy visiting Kanazawa. Highly recommended! ありがとうございます!

Difficile à noter : propre, chambres spacieuses et confortables avec style ryokan préservé. Onsen non testé. Efforts pour le petit-déjeuner qui est bon et traditionnel. Points négatifs : personnel accueillant mais directives contradictoires pour adapter le petit-déjeuner à une allergie. C’est ok à 14h, finalement contre-ordre à 18h, il faut insister et ça ne pose finalement pas de problème - moment franchement gênant, ce qui est rare au Japon. Puis lors de la visite de la chambre : elle n’est pas configurée pour la nuit alors que nous arrivons tard fatigués et que nous l’avions demandé le matin - 2ème moment gênant. Objectivement un bon rapport qualité-prix situé juste à côté de la gare mais une expérience mitigée.
