Murataya

This Ryokan is a solo traveller friendly. They have room to cater one person. The owners are very nice and accommodating. They will explain to you everything about the facilities in the Ryokan. I used hands free travel service in Kanazawa station and upon check in my luggage is already in my room. Toilets and Baths are shared and is not an issue actually as never experienced them being crowded even though the Ryokan seems fully booked. Surely will book again when I return to Kanazawa.

A real ryokan experience, nice tatami room, shared Japanese hot bath which was really relaxing after a long day of walking. It will give you a taste of traditional Japan. The owner, Yuichi, is also really nice. Keep an eye out for the phone system at the reception which is more then 70 years old.

Such kind and friendly staff!! The property itself is beyond charming! Kanazawa is a beautiful city and my favorite place on my trip. I will certainly be back and will return to this ryokan. My only regret is not staying for more time!!!

the tradition room is neat and tidy with marvellous hot spring. the owners’ helping hands are always ready when you come up to them. one of my best hotel experiences in japan

The ryokan was very clean and comfortable. My room was in good condition, and the bathroom fixtures were up-to-date. The ofuro (Japanese style bath) was small, but deep enough for me to soak up to my shoulders. There were a lot of little details that made me feel taken care of: they provided a yukata that fit me appropriately, they had perfumed the hallway with incense shortly before showing me to my room, they gave me good recommendations for curry restaurants and a sake shop, and the manager personally dragged my giant heavy luggage to a nearby courier and helped me send it to my next hotel. The staff were really great, I felt like they respected my boundaries, but when I engaged with them, they were warm and helpful. The manager spoke really good English. The rest of the staff spoke very little English, but with my limited Japanese and their patience, we were able to work things out. I felt very at home at Murataya. I wish I could have stayed longer!

It was like staying in a museum, for both good and bad. Shared bathrooms the bad. Great Location, great staff, great traditional breakfast

This is such a special place, my husband and 11 year old just loved it.
