the weather was a bit chilly 🥶, but the unique experience of a private onsen was incredible. the hospitality was genuine! every meal was a work of art, and the beautiful setting amidst traditional gardens made our stay unforgettable!

The dinner was a mess, but the atmosphere was enchanting and unique.

My stay at Yamanoo was exceptional. The Daffodil room provided a private and comfortable experience, complete with a hinoki cedar bathtub and a lovely tea set. The culinary journey was remarkable. dinner featured dishes like Nodoguro cooked at our table and exquisite seasonal ingredients. Breakfast offered a delightful spread of 15 unique dishes, ensuring a luxurious start to the day.

No significant drawbacks were encountered during the stay.

Staying at Yamanoo was a delight. The Daffodil room provided incredible privacy with its own entrance and a charming garden walk. Greeted with matcha and sweets, I immediately felt welcomed. The hinoki cedar bathtub was a fantastic spot for relaxation after exploring. The highlight was the dinner. each course was a beautiful presentation of local flavors, especially the nodoguro prepared at our table, which was a unique touch. Breakfast stunned me with 15 different dishes, all fresh and full of flavor. However, my dinner experience wasn't without issues. Some dishes seemed overly elaborate and not to my taste, like a shrimp ball in pea soup that lacked seasoning. Despite a couple of culinary missteps, the staff was attentive and worked hard to create a memorable environment. The location was fantastic, close to the Higashi Chaya district and within walking distance to Kanazawa Castle. Overall, a great experience marred slightly by some dinner choices.

The Japanese-Style Room Fuki offers a unique setup with multiple sitting areas, including traditional floor seating and Western-style chairs, along with a hinoki cedar bathtub for post-dinner relaxation.

The dinner experience featured dishes that might not suit Western tastes, and breakfast was an overwhelming spread of 15 items, best for those who can handle a substantial morning meal. Additionally, lugging our bags during heavy rain caused a bit of inconvenience, as we had to manage without bellboy assistance early in the morning.

The location was fantastic, with a stunning view of the historic Higashi Chaya district. Our family loved the detached bungalow, perfect for privacy and relaxation. The hinoki cedar bathtub was a cozy way to unwind after a day of exploring with our baby.

My children wished for more kid-friendly meal options.

Would be happy to recommend for a swift visit

Cozy room, delicious breakfast, the warm hospitality was remarkable during our stay, with a lovely full tea set provided in our Japanese-Style Room Fuki and a convenient location to explore nearby attractions like a beautiful garden

Everything was flawless.

Incredible experience with warm hospitality from the staff. The view from our room was stunning, and the tatami mats added a perfect touch to the ambiance. Dinner and breakfast were superb, showcasing local ingredients beautifully! 🍣🌸

There was nothing I didn't like.

Staying in the Japanese-Style Room Fuki provided a tranquil escape, with the hinoki cedar bathtub offering a delightful way to unwind after a day of exploring. Each meal showcased local ingredients, especially the expertly prepared kaiseki dinner, making for a memorable culinary journey. However, some dishes felt overly intricate, and a few lacked seasoning, detracting slightly from the dining experience. Additionally, while the staff were attentive, the overall atmosphere felt a bit formal, which might not suit every guest's preference.

central base for exploring kanazawa's parks and museums

we loved our stay in a cozy Japanese-style room with beautiful views, and the hotel's location made it super convenient to visit nearby attractions like the breathtaking 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art just a short walk away and the expansive Kanazawa Castle Park, perfect for a leisurely stroll after a day of sightseeing.

My stay at Yamanoo was remarkable. The warm hospitality made me feel truly valued, and the private onsen offered heavenly relaxation with a view of the lovely garden. Each carefully crafted dish in the kaiseki dinner transported me to a culinary paradise.

I can't think of anything negative.

This place was a great match for a brief stopover in Kanazawa with good value for cost. I loved relaxing in the hinoki cedar bathtub after a long day. it felt so refreshing. Make sure to try the local sake during your stay.
