Without doubt, the most helpful, genuine, friendly managers that I have had the pleasure of meeting.
Great location central to a number of attractions and a short walk from the rest. Some great restaurants very close as well as a convenience store.
A fabulous, quaint, traditional property in a superb location. The free hot bathing room privately available, was very enjoyable too. The proprietor was very attentive and helpful and you can tell he's rightly very proud to be Japanese. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is we found the mattresses uncomfortable. That may be just our bodies, but we struggled.
This ryokan has been in Bungo’s family for over 130 years. The amenities are clean and functional if dated. The service was fantastic—Bungo preemptively welcomed us to Kanazawa be way of detailed, helpful email. Upon checkin, he gave us a thorough tour and guidance around the facilities and even called a local restaurant to help us with reservations.
As a westerner, floor sleeping on a futon was a new experience. For those who won’t be comfortable with this, it’s probably best to reach out to Bungo to see what options they can offer.

Best Ryokan
Fantastic stay, best location and we loved our room (OHGI)
Host reached out to us ahead of time with a welcoming email so the tone was set for a warm and rewarding stay.
Once we arrived, his suggestions were exceptional (the ninja castle! fireflies out in the sculpture walk! the restaurant around the corner! the old neighborhoods!) He is the 5th-generation to run this ryokan and his pride in the place shows in every detail. Close to everything and authentic in every way. A wonderful place.
For some reason I thought there would be a garden surrounding the ryokan, but not the property owner’s fault that I invented that haha. GREAT staff. GREAT stay. Loved it.
Ce ryokan est fantastique. Chambre traditionnelle immense et de toute beauté. Accueil chaleureux de Bungo et sa mère, toujours disponibles pour nous aider (donner des indications, donner accès à des vélos, appeler un taxi, nous référer un bon restaurant).
Pour une expérience unique et traditionnelle, c’est l’endroit idéal.
Sehr freundlicher Empfang mit vielen Tipps, was man in der Umgebung machen kann.
Super geräumiges Zimmer mit heißen Wasser in einer Thermoskanne, um Tee zu machen.
Japanisches Bad im Keller - super nach einem langen Tag.
Es gibt einen Aufenthaltsraum mit Mikrowelle und Kaffeemaschine. Ebenso gibt es Leihfahrräder in der Unterkunft.
Sehr, sehr nette Unterkunft. Würden es wieder buchen.
We had a lovely stay. Bongo and his mother were fantastic hosts, very kind and offered lots of suggestions on places to enjoy in Kanazawa. Definitely would stay with them again if we make our way back there!
Once location found welcome was friendly. Room was typical japanese as expected - pleasant surprise was comfort cotton yokatans and excellent green tea ! Premises were very clean and 'living room' coffee machine was also nice detail. It was very quiet and pleasant to sleep and relax and airconditiong/heating worked well in the room. Ryokan location was excellent as everything was within walking distance. Only concern was whether we behave correctly according local standards....
Es un negocio familiar pero muy bien llevado. Es una excelente opción. La habitación es muy amplia, tiene un pequeño onsen y las duchas son casi tan amplias como el onsen.
La atención por parte de los dueños es increíble. Se volcaron mucho en ayudarnos a planificar las visitas. Muchas y muy buenas recomendaciones.
The place was beyond expectation. Great location, our family room (for five people) was very spacious and comfortable . Bungo and his mother run the place wonderfully, it’s the most welcoming and pleasant places we’ve stayed in. Bungo was extremely helpful with everything we needed and offered a lot of information about the city and the surroundings of the ryokan. My only regret is that we didn’t stay for longer time.
The hospitality at Ryokan Yamamuro is superb and makes the experience of staying there very special. The host of the ryokan is very friendly and helpful with great travel recommendations. In addition, his English is excellent. The ryokan is located only 2 blocks from Omicho market. I had breakfast at Omicho market every morning. My room setup was typical ryokan style so there were shared bathroom and shower/onsen facilities. Very enjoyable stay.
