Located a 5-minute drive from JR Kanazawa Station, Ryokan Yamamuro offers Japanese-style guestrooms with free WiFi. Omicho Market and Kanazawa Castle Park can both be reached with a 5-minute walk.

Kenrokuen Garden is 10-minutes’ away on foot while the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is a 15-minute walk away. Myoryuji - Ninja Temple is a 10-minute drive from the property.

I totally enjoyed my stay at Ryokan Yamamuro! This is a family-run ryokan and the hosts, Bungo and his mother, are very kind and accomodating. We only stayed in Kanazawa for a day and Bungo was totally helpful on recommending where to visit and eat during our short trip (he gave very good recommendations!). He even helped us book a bus for our trip to Shirakawa-go and Takayama. And what’s great about the property doesn’t stop there. The ryokan itself is a very nice place to stay! It is located in the heart of Kanazawa, most tourist spots are located within 5-15 minutes walking distance. The place (lobby, room, dining room, etc.) is very clean, they even cleaned our luggage wheels before sending it to our room, you totally can see the effort they make to maintain the ryokan’s cleanliness. The room is very nice with direct access to indoor garden. This is by far the best hotel stay I had. Thank you for hosting us.

    Very beautiful, typical japanese ryokan, huge room with beautiful tatami and view on internal garden. The landlady is very welcoming, proactive and nice. The room had a WC and basin; the internal onsen (common bath) was very confortable, spacious and clean, with a typical hot tub. The position is very central and quiet. An excellent stay that surpassed our expectations

    Staff was so nice and the place was pretty clean! There was a shared bathroom where you could enjoy onsen with other people.. I didn't feel comfortable tho. Visited another ryokan where the onsen was private and you could stay up to 50min there.

    We had a brilliant stay at Ryokan Yamamuro as a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids), the room was spacious and comfortable with lots of lovely touches like tea pot/cups and yukata for us all. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful with booking restaurants for us and giving tips on where the visit. If we're in Kanazawa again we'd definitely want to stay again!

    This small hotel is beautifully presented, outside and in. The manager, Masa, accommodated our request to drop off our bags early and they were waiting with the yukatas we'd selected in our room. The room was beautifully styled, with a comfortable tatami area and very comfortable beds. It was a pleasure spending time there.

    The food was most definitely a highlight—both dinner and breakfast were exceptional kaiseki-style meals, using local ingredients from the Kanazawa region. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful all throughout—even despite my limited Japanese! And the onsen was also a wonderful experience; my mother and I were able to have a private onsen/bath experience, since there were few guests. I loved how immersed in nature the ryokan was as well—it felt otherworldly.

    Bungo-san (the host of this property) is very helpful and has good tips for restaurants and sightseeing and isn’t hesitating to tell it in english for visitors. The room was nice, our first ryokan and we loved it. There are Yukatas in the room and always tea on the table, you can pick hot water at the 1F for your private tea time. We had a really good time there. Thanks you!
