I finally found an Accommodation where I can truly relax both body and mind again! Needless to say, the food was delicious, and the thoughtful hospitality of the staff, the tasteful mix of old and new furnishings, and the refined atmosphere throughout made it a calm and comfortable place to stay. One of the free-flowing hot spring large baths, “Karasu-yu,” was a mysterious space where I could enjoy a meditative moment—almost as if I were in a Zen temple rock garden. Everything felt fresh to all five senses, and I’m genuinely glad I went. I also heard that the owner is extremely knowledgeable about alcohol; even just the wines listed on the wine list were outstanding. Next time I visit, I’d love to take my time savoring them.

The moment I stepped into the Room, I knew: this is it.The moment the meal arrived, I knew: this is it.I finally found the Ryokan I’d been looking for.I’ve stayed at many luxury Ryokan across The whole country, and this was the best.And it features free-flowing natural hot spring water straight from the source.The food is also delicious.Honestly, I don’t want to tell anyone because I’d hate for it to get so popular that Reservations become impossible—but if you visit Kanazawa, I hope you’ll stay here at least once.That’s the kind of Ryokan it is.I wish there were more Ryokan like this.My heart feels full.Thank you very much.
