The hotel is very close to Kanazawa Station and has a good location to reach tourist attractions quickly. One of our family members arrived late due to a flight cancellation, but Mr. Ueno made a very nice suggestion and the whole family was able to have dinner together. The entire hotel staff was very hospitable. I would like to thank Mr. Ueno and stay there again!

The room came with dinner and breakfast- both were delicious feasts with a variety of dishes. They did forget one of my preferences for foods, though. The baths are well maintained, but the building is an older style. The staff were all so helpful. A great introduction to the ryokan!

Our stay was spectacular. Location cannot be beat - half a block from the train station. The onsen was amazing. The staff are beyond kind and helpful. The food was very traditional - we appreciated the effort that went into each dish, and we are fortunate our daughter is an adventurous eater - but some westerners may find the menu items challenging. But we embraced the challenge! Highly recommend if you really want to experience Japanese culture.

The room was an excellent size and very clean! Sleeping on the tatamis was the best nights sleep we’ve had so far in Japan! The kaiseki dinner and breakfast weren’t for us but that’s not to say that they weren’t lovely, it just wouldn’t be our first choice for a meal. We are glad we tried them though! The property is very beautiful and they gave you the sukamis to wear for the meals which was lovely and added to the atmosphere very nicely! And the staff were extremely helpful and friendly!

What a great time we had at Kanazawa Chaya. My family of 5 stayed here for three nights half-board following our stay in Tokyo. This place is out of the world. I cannot describe how attentive the staff are at this Ryokan hotel. My mother is approaching her 80s and I mentioned to them in email ahead of time that my mother prefers softer food and they delivered. I was worried that the three breakfast and three dinner would be repetitive, but much to my surprise, the Kaiseki meals were so meticulously planned and with fresh ingredients. We cannot have a better time in Kanazawa. It's also so close to the train station, making visiting the rest of the city a breeze. The most important thing of all is that the staff were so friendly and welcoming, we were completely spoiled during our stay.
