Hyakurakusou — Hotel in Kanazawa

I had my first ryokan stay with Hyakurakuso. I couldn’t believe that they picked us up from the train station and how courteous the shuttle driver was. After about 30 min we reached the resort and the hotel staff greeted us to welcome us and take our luggage. ||I wasn’t very familiar with all of the customs and while I felt a little bit awkward at times, the hotel staff was on point and worked hard to make sure that we knew exactly what to do. ||It is important to schedule baths, dinner time and shuttle pick drop offs and pick ups with the hotel staff. I would recommend bathing before dinner and after breakfast, but you can do it however you wish. Don’t be surprised if the bed isn’t put out when you arrive, the hotel staff will arrange everything for you while you eat. ||The food is completely off the charts good.

The futon bedding was nice, but the staff forgot to set it up! We needed to call and request the futon to be set.||||Food was good, but not nearly of the quality of its sister in Noto. We do like the idea of the meals being served in a private room, away from the sleeping area.||||Yuwaku Onsen is a pretty place, but unless your are very interested in Japanese agricultural structures from a century ago, you might want to keep your visit to...

Highly recommend! My friend and I stayed here because we wanted to experience a ryokan, and this one blew our expectations out of the water. From beginning to end, everyone we encountered was incredibly hospitable and friendly. Before our stay, I received an email with instructions and images on how to locate the shuttle that would take us to Hyakurakusou, which was super helpful. Once we arrived at the ryokan, we were greeted by Chika, who spoke basic English and was very sweet and welcoming. She gave us a thorough description of the facilities and led us to our room. The meals were delicious and filling; by the end, I was full but not...
