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!

We took a train with a large luggage to Kanazawa. Ryokan was located in very short convenient location. Even hot summer, we were able to drag or luggage to Ryokan.
Train, local bus, tour bus are located in walking distances which made us easy to sight seeing. Foods they serve were excellent. Recommend to choose breakfast and dinner plan to enjoy local seasonal foods. Old traditional Ryokan with modern western conveniences that we were able to enjoy eating and relaxing. Nice to have coffee available for foreign travelers at traditional Japanese breakfast time. Great place to stay at Kanazawa.
This traditional Ryokan was conveniently located 5 minutes walk from Kanazawa Station. Our Japanese-style room was spacious and the futons were surprisingly comfortable. The staff were extremely kind and helpful and were always friendly and welcoming. The Japanese breakfasts were delicious, plentiful and lots of variety. We enjoyed a kaiseki (multi-course) dinner one evening in a private room and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
Arrived here from Osaka on the Thunderbird express. The hotel is behind the Garden Hotel and a short walk from Kanazawa railway station. We had a well appointed room and made use of the onsen which was very welcoming after walking around. We had pre-booked dinner at the hotel which is taken in the restaurant and is kaseki style. Very enjoyable. Breakfast is taken on the second floor and on both occasions were were offered western or Japanese seating.
