We did the Japanese dinner+breakfast+traditional futon experience, and it was wonderful. The hotel is well-located (about 5 minutes' walk from the train statio.), the staff greet you with genuine warmth and nothing is too much trouble, and of course the Onsen is the cherry on the top.

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 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!
