Very close to tourist attractions eg garden / castle, I guess 15min walk from train station, Japanese breakfast was really good there, they also provide a traditional Japanese dinner - you need to pre book this in I think 5 days in advance? The hotel is a little sad and loud bi as you would expect for price, staff are friendly and really try and help, the Onsen is not that exciting but again if you wanna spend a lot and go to a more upmarket one do that..I would stay again but would absolutely pre Oder the dinner as the breakfast was really good.

Extremely kind and attentive staff are what account for a higher rating than I would have otherwise given. However, having stayed the previous two nights in other ryokans, by comparison the room was quite small and though clean, a bit dingy and outdated. The meals were abundant, to say the least, but some of the seafood was of questionable freshness and there was a lot of jellied items or things with that sort of texture (and we're adventurous eaters). The onsen was unremarkable, but of course, a nice option to have, and nice also that tattoos are a nonisse. Very close to Kenroken Gardens and Kanazawa Castle Park, and not a long walk to Higashi Chaya.

Everyone from the owner to staff were so nice and friendly. We came early (around 12:30pm) and asked if we could leave the luggages there, but the owner said since our room was ready we could just check in, he was so kind! The location was perfect, walking distance to all the top attractions, and all the meals and drink were top-notch, cant wait to be back!

Great authentic Japanese experience

We highly recommend Nakayasu ryokan. The staff is very attentive, and the traditional Japanese meals are excellent. Be sure to try the Japanese breakfast. One caveat: it helps to be a seafood lover and adventurous eater, as some of the dishes are unfamiliar to the western palate.

We've stayed some Japanese style hotels, but this one was not as good as others. The toilet, bath sink, and shower/tub are not in your room but in three different locations at same or deferent level which is very inconvenient. You have to get dressed to go to any of these three at lobby. The room is very small also. In addition, the walls are so thin that you hear all the noises clearly. The only good thing is the hotel is clean.

Kind and welcoming staff showed us to our rooms and helped with shoes and umbrellas while it was raining, and provided hot tea in the room every day. Rooms are large and beautiful and perfectly maintained. The location is a fairly short walk to kanazawa’s gardens and castle, but the nearby restaurants are few. (We did not try the Ryokan’s breakfast or dinner because of special dietary restrictions.)

Nice ryokan, great dinner

This was our first ryokan experience, and it did not disappoint. The room was basic, as I hear is typical for a ryokan. The staff was excellent and explained how everything worked. There is a small, but very relaxing onsen on the ground floor. We got breakfast included and chose the Japanese option, but Western is also offered. It was very good, but the dinner we had one night was SPECTACULAR. It was an amazing array of fish, vegetables and meat prepared so many different ways. The dinner here was really a highlight of our trip and very reasonably priced. Overall, this ryokan felt like a great value and a good introduction to the ryokan experience.

Rooms and facilities were all clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. The showers were nice and refreshing. The highlight of the stay would probably be the food which was very good and served everything you would expect a ryokan to serve. If you’re looking for an experience which stays truthful to what daily life In Japan is and also looking for a place to stay that is in a good location to view all Kanazawa’s treasures than this is it.

I stayed 3 nights.

Things you might want to know if you choose a room with shared bath/toilet: the toilets are private (separate for men/women), the sinks are communal, in the hallway. The soaking tub & showers are communal (separate for men & women), bringing back memories of gym class. There are no private showers.

The location is great, an easy walk to the train station (or Y1,000 taxi); easy walking to the garden & castle, the food market, many restaurants, etc.

The hotel is very clean; the staff is helpful & friendly. I speak no Japanese, but we managed. The decor might be classified as depressing, but I chose to frame it as minimalist.

Please do not consider staying as the owner is really rude to us. He actually kicked the us out even before checking in. He did not attempt to solve the problem with us and very rude too.

As a hotel person in-charge, guest is more important than anything. He also plan to charge us extra hence please do not stay at this hotel.

Feels like Staying with relatives!

We wanted to experience the \"in room dinner\" that the ryokan offered. We got there right at check in and were greeted by an older Gentleman. My husband speaks Japanese, and check in was easy. We chose the Japanese Breakfast and to have dinner at 7pm.

We were shown to our rooms and shown where the rest rooms are. The Bathrooms are communal. and some of the toilets are \"squat toilets\" but the Woman's Toilet on the 2nd floor was the extravagant Japanese toilets I have grown accustomed to.

Our room was a good size, and they had hot tea and a yummy cookie waiting for us. The decor doesn't seem outdated, as it does \"vintage\" everything we saw was indeed older, but it good order and very nice. It felt like staying with a distant relative you do not know very well.

The baths are very nice. There are lots of places to wash, and they have high quality bathing supplies. The Yukata they give you is fairly comfortable. I enjoyed it just as much as any other onsen I have been to.

Dinner was AMAZING! It was in our room and very high quality. After we ate they made our beds- with us there which was kind of awkward, but we could have just left. We both slept well on our beds. Breakfast was also very good. We had fish, soup, salad, and other traditional breakfast stuff (no natto, do not worry) Then we had coffee which was lovely.

We left early because we needed to catch our train- There were more \"family members\" than what I remember the day before, but checkout was a breeze.

Thank you for a wonderful stay

Wonderful hotel. The staff was excellent -- the girls were friendly and helpful, and the lady who runs the establishment is very nice, she even gave me a gift on departure day -- 2 sets of nice chopsticks that I will keep as a token of Japan and the warmth and friendliness of the Japanese people.

I stayed in a Japanese style room to get the authentic experience of a ryokan. Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed staying in this excellent ryokan!

Very good ryokan.

This is a Japanese style ryokan, not a hotel, run by a very friendly and helpful family. They collected us and returned us to the station when requested. The beds are futons on tatami. This may be a little uncomfortable for older westerners - as it was for us - and there are no chairs or tables in the room. As I usually do, I doubled up on futons and it was OK. The hotel offered a dining room type chair and this helped. Although communal, the toilets and bathroom facilities were of a high standard.

Première expérience de ryokan

À recommander pour les personnes voulant expérimenter un ryokan avec un petit budget.
Je n'ai pas pris le dîner sur place mais le petit déjeuner japonais était excellent.
Les bains sont séparés homme/femme, la seule critique que je pourrai faire est que l'eau du bain pourrait être légèrement plus chaude.
Chambre très authentique avec futon, yukata, tatamis et chaise style japonaise. Du thé avec une friandise nous attendent dans la chambre à l'arrivée.
Toilettes et lavabos en dehors des chambres, sur le palier.
L'accueil maîtrise bien l'anglais.
