  Lo único bueno es el onsen.

  Llegamos al hotel y nos ofrecieron cena, dijimos que si al no haber nada próximo al sitio. Lo primero que nos encontramos es que nadie parecía entender inglés. Nos dijeron que la cena costaría 600 (no 6000). Tampoco nos dijeron que no podríamos escoger nada y que no había carta en inglés ( a pesar de que la de bebidas si estaba traducida ). Mi acompañante es alérgica al pescado, por lo que le dijimos a la señora que nos atendió en la cena que no podía comerlo. No solo le siguió trayendo pescado sino que después lo sustituyó por verdura cocida. El menú eran muchos platos, muy simples y con poco o mal sabor. Desde luego no digno de pagar 60 por el. Al ir a la recepción a exponer la queja, pretendían cobrarnos ambos menús a pesar de que no comimos a penas y no nos informaron de nada. Posteriormente la recepcionista y la que suponemos era la encargada fingieron no entender inglés para seguir cobrándonos los dos menús. Finalmente tuvimos que pagar uno (repito, es en el único sitio que hemos comido mal en Japón). Tras esto, vemos que la ventanilla de recepción está cerrada hasta las 8 (ojo si queréis salir antes porque hay que pagar por la noche). A pesar de que se disculparon, esto hizo que la estancia no fuese buena, sin contar las humedades y las manchas en la moqueta. Por destacar algo bueno, el onsen está muy bien, los jabones son estupendos y el sitio es muy pintoresco.

  Great onsen ryokan with lots of history!!

  We stayed in this hidden gem Michelin 3 star hotel with affordable price. Great food and service. If you are interested in Japanese history, there is an actual "Nogaku" stage 100+ years old, and the hotel has been in business for more than 200 years. You can feel and breathe the history by just walking through this beautiful hotel.

  Brilliant, Gracious and Serene

  Easy and cheap access; local train from Kanazawa to Morimoto Station (7 minutes) then a ten minute taxi (Yen1,400 or US$15) to the Ryokan. Immediately swarmed by smiling, pleasant staff, bags disappeared and we went through welcome formalities. An increasingly unreliable Booking agent had failed to advise the ryokan that my wife was disabled and is vegetarian, flash of concern, then ... we can manage. Shown to the Garden Room, quite spacious, actually a small 3 room suit, with tatami floors and futons, plus two western style sitting chairs. Wall of glass to spectacular garden. Decor in rooms delightful and serene; so restful. Wifi speed reasonable. For breakfasts and dinners we were allocated a private dining room separate from our suit. The kaiseki style meals were very interesting and very good. Explored hotel; its over 200 years old, with many museum style exhibits and art works and all sorts of nooks and crannies to set and think or veg out. Delightful. Lots of wabi sabi ! Extremely good onsen with four baths in the gentlemans section - one cold, one hot, one hotter and one outside and hot. Best feature were the staff. So helpful and so concerned about our comfort, some spoke little English but universal sign language worked. Absolutely delightful. Japan at its best.

  A taste of the past

  We spent a night at this authentic Japanese Inn and enjoyed fantastic hospitality from the moment we walked in until we left. Our room had futons and was large with our own toilet and sitting room. The natural hot springs baths are lovely and as the weather was cold and wet we went 3 times over our stay. The evening meal was served overlooking a beautiful garden and Noh theatre. I am not sure what we ate as our waitress didnt speak much English but it was all so tasty and beautifully presented. Breakfast was the same. If you want to experience real Japanese hospitality in an historic atmosphere then I recommend Motoyu Ishiya. As it was wet we took a taxi (3000yen) from Kanazawa which made everything easy. By Australian standards it was a cheap taxi ride. We stayed in two hotels in Kanazawa and both were excellent the brand new Integrate and Mitsui Garden inn. Kanazawa has a lot to offer. Dont miss The Swimming Pool at the 21st century museum!

  Overpriced and out of date

  I had great hopes for this place. Sadly they were dashed. The inn is long overdue for an update, especially the bathrooms - limited to a small toilet and sink - that were last fitted out in the late 1970s. Showering means a trip to the onsen. Admittedly, thats the main attraction of the inn, but, it is preferred to be able to get ready in the morning using your own facilities. Furthermore, the futons have seen better days and are wafer thin, just like the towels! Consequently, its not particularly relaxing or indulgent experience. All this wouldnt be so bad if the price of staying here was reflective of the conditions. For $500 (plus drinks at dinner), you expect a lot more frills. Not all is negative, the staff are welcoming and the grounds have charm.
