Detailed Reviews
If you want a more authentic Japanese stay in the modern setting of Kanazawa, this is a lovely little Ryokan. It is convenient to several main attractions--the castle, the park, and several shrines. It is also in a cool little alley neighborhood with amazing restaurants. It's about 1200 yen from the train station or you can take the Kinezawa loop bus. Our room was large with super comfy, cushy futons. The shower/bathing room is by reservation and is traditional style. There are steep stairs to the rooms and a shared toilet and sink on the 2nd floor. The toilet is top of the line washelet with a dryer and autoflush. There's a urinal to that my friend thought was a sink (ha ha). The room provides hot water pot, green tea, TV (if you care). They make up your futon and set up the table and pillows in the morning then turn down the futons and move the table aside for the evening hours. The younger owner speaks excellent English, but the older couple don't speak much English--lending to the charm of the inn. The hosts are extremely gracious--old school Japanese hospitality. Free internet service, cold water, and tour maps are readily available. If you stay here be sure to eat at Amatsubo just down the street for a traditional Kaga meal. The only thing that prevented the "excellent" rating from me was that someone somewhere was smoking and it wafted into our room but we opened the windows and the fresh air alleviated the problem.

I've never been as cold as I was in Kanazawa - but we made the best of it. Actually had to go out and buy winter boots as sneakers just didn't cut it anymore. The Kikunoya Inn was great. I think we were the only people there so it was very peaceful for us. The room was big and we slept like babies there - probably because we were so glad to be warm at the end of the day.
Don't miss the Ninja Museum.

We stayed two nights and loved our stay. Rooms were very authentic and while I was worried about how I would sleep on the futon I had possibly better sleep than in the western rooms elsewhere. I loved the traditional wheat pillow.
The bathhouse feel of the bathroom was wonderful. Even though it was shared I never had to wait. (Though I did wake earlier than most)
Our host was most gracious. I am sorry we didnt get to try breakfast there.
Location is great- walking distance to main attractions, and very close to shops and restaurants, Short taxi ride to train station though you would walk if you were up to it.

Central location, very basic, with shared washroom facilities. For upstairs rooms shared, common sink in hallway. Cigarette smoke smell in upstairs hallway. Overpriced. Hotels in immediate area less costly. Not recommended

We spent two nights here and everything was perfect. The location is good, being a 5 min walk from the Art gallery and shops and 10 mins from the gardens s d castle. We loved the traditional Japanese plunge pool and the attention to detail in our room. Of special note is the amazing vegetarian breakfast that our host prepared for us.

Family owned ryokan 5 minutes away from almost everything you want to see in Kanazawa, and the rest is about 30 minutes walking. The location couldn't be better. Also there's no noise from the streets nor anything, so rest assure nothing is going to wake you up, other than birds chirping.
Got a single room and it was pretty good sized and had a TV and mini fridge, tea set on the table.
However I had no wifi access in my room. There is wifi, since the password and all is in the room (it's written in an old telephone, that was really charming) but I couldn't connect any of my devices for the life of me.
There's only one toilet for all the hotel rooms, which is kept very clean. Surprisingly enough I never had to wait to use it.
The bath though is pretty moldy: the ceiling could really use a couple of hands or more to clean it. However the "tub" was pretty clean (yes I saw the lady cleaning it).

It is closed to a lot of restaurants, shops, and tourist site. It took us 10 minutes walk to the castle.
Cons: the toilet by the entrance really smell bad, it was the first impression when we walk in this place.
There is also a group of local young people hanging out right in front of this ryokan and the feeling is not safe when u go back to the ryokan at night.

Kikunoya Ryokan is located in the most strategic spot in Kanazawa.
Breakfast was something very Japanese! People there were very friendly and helpful.

The Ryokan is not too close to Kanazawa station but still within a reasonable distance to walk there from it :)
It is very close to the main attractions of Kanazawa and to a few good restaurants and bars though which easily makes up for the distance one needs to cover to get there :)
The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
The rooms are quite nice but a bit worn and out of date.
This is not meant in a negative way as it was quite charming to see one of those old dial plate telephones and to receive a wakeup call on it :D
The TV on the room is a modern one as is the fridge (which is not the most quietest). The AC is quiet although I rarely used it as it wasn't too warm when I stayed in Kanazawa.
The breakfast was great and plentiful! I had a nice traditional Japanese breakfast every day.
The bathroom is also worn but still okay :)
I greatly enjoyed soaking in the bathtub after walking around Kanazawa during the day :)
I was kind of sad about seeing carpet everywhere on hallways but the rooms had nice Tatami :)
Overall it is clean, has a great breakfast, a nice bath, nice comfy rooms, nice staff and a great location and to top it all off it is quite affordable :)
If I visit Kanazawa again I will try to stay there again :)

It is a family owned hotel, traditional Japanese house, at five minutes walk from the 21th Century Contemporary Museum, the Kanazawa Castle park and the Kenrukuen Garden. The old lady who owned the hotel doesn't speaks English, but her son does a little bit. The bathroom (Japanese public bath, which you can choose to use it as a private one by switch the sign on the door to show "occupied") and toilet are separated from the rooms, however clean and equipped with basic items needed. Room is also quite clean. At a satisfying price. Only need to beware of the checkout time, it's 10 o'clock rather than 11 or 12.
這是家庭式的旅館，傳統日式房子，就在金澤21世紀美術館走路五分鐘會到的地點，距離兼六園和金澤城也很近，非常方便。
主人是一位婆婆，跟他兒子和媳婦（應該吧？！）很客氣。英文部分一點點通而已，但基本上可以溝通，感覺他們很習慣對於接待外國旅客。
屋內非常乾淨，榻榻米房間，晚上會鋪好日式床舖等客人上門，房內有加濕器冬天可以開起來以免暖氣太乾，提供熱水瓶，浴衣，毛巾等相關備品，傳統澡堂式的公共浴室和獨立洗手間在一樓，浴室門上有撥牌可以顯示使用中，所以客人也可以把它作為個人的浴室使用。沐浴乳、洗髮精、洗手和臉的泡沫洗劑等等，都在浴室提供。
