For some reason I thought there would be a garden surrounding the ryokan, but not the property owner’s fault that I invented that haha. GREAT staff. GREAT stay. Loved it.

A fabulous, quaint, traditional property in a superb location. The free hot bathing room privately available, was very enjoyable too. The proprietor was very attentive and helpful and you can tell he's rightly very proud to be Japanese. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is we found the mattresses uncomfortable. That may be just our bodies, but we struggled.

This ryokan has been in Bungo’s family for over 130 years. The amenities are clean and functional if dated. The service was fantastic—Bungo preemptively welcomed us to Kanazawa be way of detailed, helpful email. Upon checkin, he gave us a thorough tour and guidance around the facilities and even called a local restaurant to help us with reservations. As a westerner, floor sleeping on a futon was a new experience. For those who won’t be comfortable with this, it’s probably best to reach out to Bungo to see what options they can offer.

Without doubt, the most helpful, genuine, friendly managers that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Great location central to a number of attractions and a short walk from the rest. Some great restaurants very close as well as a convenience store.

Wow! Quel bel endroit traditionnel.
Ce ryokan est fantastique. Chambre traditionnelle immense et de toute beauté. Accueil chaleureux de Bungo et sa mère, toujours disponibles pour nous aider (donner des indications, donner accès à des vélos, appeler un taxi, nous référer un bon restaurant). Pour une expérience unique et traditionnelle, c’est l’endroit idéal.

Wonderful place steps from the castle and garden
Host reached out to us ahead of time with a welcoming email so the tone was set for a warm and rewarding stay. Once we arrived, his suggestions were exceptional (the ninja castle! fireflies out in the sculpture walk! the restaurant around the corner! the old neighborhoods!) He is the 5th-generation to run this ryokan and his pride in the place shows in every detail. Close to everything and authentic in every way. A wonderful place.

Good japanese experience
Once location found welcome was friendly. Room was typical japanese as expected - pleasant surprise was comfort cotton yokatans and excellent green tea ! Premises were very clean and 'living room' coffee machine was also nice detail. It was very quiet and pleasant to sleep and relax and airconditiong/heating worked well in the room. Ryokan location was excellent as everything was within walking distance. Only concern was whether we behave correctly according local standards....

The perfect ryokan
The place was beyond expectation. Great location, our family room (for five people) was very spacious and comfortable . Bungo and his mother run the place wonderfully, it’s the most welcoming and pleasant places we’ve stayed in. Bungo was extremely helpful with everything we needed and offered a lot of information about the city and the surroundings of the ryokan. My only regret is that we didn’t stay for longer time.

Superb Hospitality and Excellent Location
The hospitality at Ryokan Yamamuro is superb and makes the experience of staying there very special. The host of the ryokan is very friendly and helpful with great travel recommendations. In addition, his English is excellent. The ryokan is located only 2 blocks from Omicho market. I had breakfast at Omicho market every morning. My room setup was typical ryokan style so there were shared bathroom and shower/onsen facilities. Very enjoyable stay.

Very quaint family-run Ryokan. It felt like stepping back in time and really experiencing a traditional stay. We had a room with a private bath, so cannot comment on the shared facilities. Furniture is a bit dated, but very clean. The staff was stellar. Extremely helpful with suggestions in the area and really ensured we were having a good stay. They take pride in their ryokan, and it shows in their attention they show their guests. Location is excellent for visiting the Kenrokuen Garden and Castle Park.

For a comfortable and welcoming stay
After recently spending four nights at Ryokan Yamamoto, I can recommend it without reservation. Bingo and his mother are warm and gracious hosts, who were always available to guide and assist or the few occasions it was needed. The ryokan itself is well maintained, spotlessly clean and centrally located, with all sites in Kanazawa within comfortable walking distance. Bingo and his mother were just two examples of the kind and welcoming people we experienced in beautiful and enjoyable Kanazawa.

We loved Bungo and his mom!
We intended to stay one night and stayed three. Bungo and his mom are so warm and helpful. Our room was huge and comfortable. The shared bath was no problem ... we never waited or saw anyone else waiting. And we loved the fact that as a couple we could use the soaking tub together (after two weeks of single-single tubs and onsens). The location was very convenient to everything, especially the Castle park and Kenrokuen,the geisha district, and the market. Bungo’s English was great, which was a big help. No complaints!
