Very good, only one room per room type

Stayed with my wife and 11 year old in a room with a private onsen. I have to say, I was nervous about staying here because there were very few reviews and none that I could find since Japan reopened after the pandemic. I usually don't write reviews but I'm doing this for the next person that might be on the fence. I had the concierge at our hotel in Tokyo arrange the pickup from Matto station which went very smoothly. It's only about a 10 minute train ride from Kanazawa train station and the driver was waiting there for us as we exited the ticket gates at the station. When we arrived, we checked in with the one employee who spoke English and she gave us the overview of everything at the ryokan. We then went to our room and relaxed for a few hours until dinner time. I don't know if it was because we spoke English but we had dinner in a banquet hall all by ourselves. The dinner was absolutely amazing, it was the best meal I had in multiple trips to Japan. I don't want to spoil it but we did no upgrades to our meal and we wish we came even more hungry because it was a lot of food across around 10 courses. Everything was seasonal and each course was a setup to the next course, I loved it. After dinner we used the private onsen in the room and went to sleep. The next morning we had breakfast once again in the private banquet room and again it was an amazing meal. We relaxed for a few more hours and then they gave us a ride back to the Motto station. This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for some peace and relaxation. Everyone in the ryokan was across the board super friendly and professional. The language barrier was a real thing but we kept an open mind and we made it through just fine. My wife and I have tattoos so using the public onsen was probably not an option, but since we splurged for the private one I probably wouldn't have used it anyways, though it is rooftop and looked super nice. Overall, I can't recommend a night here enough. It was for sure the highlight of our trip to Japan. Thank you so much to all the staff that made it such a special night for us. Mahalo!

I stayed here using the Ishikawa Prefecture Fukukouwari discount. It was about 30 minutes by car from Kanazawa. The room was a Japanese-Western style room with a semi-open-air bath. The open-air bath and the bath in the room are not hot springs, but the water is always running. I used the open-air bath in the room the next morning. It is an open-air bath that can fit about two people, and it is equipped with a shower. My partner did not use it, and the next morning we went to the smaller indoor bath. The open-air bath at this inn is said to be the largest in the Hokuriku region. The open-air bath is mixed, and both men and women wear bathing suits to enter. First, you go to the large bath for men and women, get ready to enter the bath, go to the indoor bath, and from there, put on the bathing suit that is placed in the changing room for the open-air bath, and go out to the open-air bath. The bathing suit is a cloth that is larger than a rectangular bath towel and does not cling to the skin, and it is fastened with buttons. Unfortunately, the open-air bath cannot be used in the morning. I thought mixed bathing would be unpleasant, but when I wore the bathing suit, it didn't bother me so much. There were many couples and married couples there. There were many day-trippers, probably because it was the weekend. The indoor bath was large, and there were lotions and milky lotions in the washroom area. For dinner, we had a basic kaiseki meal with butter-fried abalone, and we had both breakfast and dinner in a private room. The alcohol was a bit pricey, with 300cc of local sake costing 1,900 yen. The food was very good. We enjoyed all the sashimi and appetizers. The abalone took a while to arrive, but when it finally did, it was still moving, so we asked if we could have it as sashimi, and they did. It was the biggest abalone we had ever eaten, so my partner was delighted with the sashimi, saying, ”If we had just eaten this at a sushi restaurant, it would cost about 10,000 yen.” The breakfast was also delicious, and we said it was lighter in flavor and healthier than the food we usually eat at the inn. The veteran waitress at the dining area was kind. The staff from overseas also worked hard. The landlady was there when we checked out and when we checked in, and she greeted us and saw us off (she also took photos for us). A bath in the rice paddies when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom will surely be an unforgettable memory.

If you want to visit Kutani, you may want to stay at this hotel, and it is also a good transit station for visiting various hot springs in Kaga, very close to the sea. Very clean. But no one can speak English at the front desk, so I have to be a little Japanese.

私の宿泊した部屋はとても広かったように思います

Unfortunately 1. I visited on a rainy day for motorcycle touring, but there was no covered motorcycle storage area. 2. The room was rushed to make it a deluxe double, but the windows did not open and the sliding glass did not see the outside view and it was closed and disgusting. 3. There may be no choice in terms of the number of guest rooms, but one elevator is stressful. 4. I refrained from taking a shower on the 5th floor because I had a tattoo, but it was not a private room type. I think the hotel itself was clean and clean and the staff were kind and nice. I want to improve 々 though I have a revisit.
