Yamanoo

The atmosphere, the accomdations and the culture immersions.

It is not something I did not like but an understanding that you will be sleeping on the floor with a thin mattress. It is part of the experience but not something that would discourage us from recommending this location.

Not being Japanese I loved trying all of the traditional dishes. There were many options all beautifully and carefully prepared. The staff was very helpful explaining all dishes

A better explanation the room controls and features

Very traditional and the food was exceptional

The rooms were lovely, staff friendly.

The difficulty finding the hotel, and the walk up the hill. Too many courses for breakfast and dinner - we weren’t able to eat all the food and felt bad leaving it.

After traveling Japan for over 2 weeks, easily my most memorable stay is Yamanoo in Kanazawa. The room (more like the house!!) was an exceptional blend of history and modern amenities, capped off with a sweeping skyline view of Kanazawa. To top this off, the staff was so incredibly nice and warm, making every part of our stay feel welcomed and effortless. The kaiseki dinner was fantastic, expertly highlighting the local seasonal ingredients, which helped deepen the connection to our stay at Yamanoo. Just writing this makes me want to go back ASAP!!

Nothing, it was perfect!!

This property was sublime. The service was impeccable, the food authentic and incredibly amazing, healthy, and delicious. The staff beyond courteous, but that is pretty standard for Japan :). The location was lovely, the accommodations gorgeous. Everything about this place really was the quintessential Japanese experience. I wish I could be back there. Thank you for such a magical stay.

I loved it all.

Lovely staff, fantastic bedroom with great views, bathroom with fabulous wooden bath, formal Japanese meals

It was a bit difficult to find the entrance from the road
