Ryu 旅音

Nice cute little house all to yourself. The staff were really kind and helpful, they booked a taxi for us to the house. Very clean and great location. Quiet neighborhood.

Everything! Our staying was unforgettable. So cozy and charming house, very well equipped and furnished.

The house is simply amazing. Old, wooden walls and floors covered in tatami mats, but modern amenities, like kitchen and bathroom with a tub, nice, comfortable. You are also provided with japanese robes. The house is more than spacious, impeccably clean and very traditionally furnished (meaning no furniture at all, except for some floor-level chairs and a small coffee table. The 'garden' is about 3m2 big, but cutely decorated with a stone lantern, and you can open the windows/glass-wall to merge the outside and inside in one space. There is no view, as the fence is at least 2m high and non seethrough, but this gives you enough light while maintaining privacy. The two bedrooms are traditional ryokan like sleeping spaces with only tatami mats on the floor, and japanese closets containing the bedding. For us, the owners prepared the bedding befoure our arrival, folded nicely on the floor, waiting to be deployed. The bathroom has a semi-large tub, big enough for me and my wife to fit in while sitting, and the bathroom has a beautiful wooden atmosphere with a view of a cute tiny private walled-in garden space, so we made our own 'onsen'-like evening there. I would love to stay longer (despite traditional sleeping not being as comfortable as a modern matress), as I loved the house and especially Kanazawa itself, but unfortunately our limited time in Japan did not allow for it.

I was hoping for the garden to be large enough to sit outside and have a beer, unfortunately that's not the case, it's only big enough to be viewed from the house. It's not even meant to be stepped in. The location is slightly removed from the 'centre' but a bus station is approx 7 minutes walk away. Not great, not terrible.

The place was beautiful and as advertised. Everything was perfect!
