The staff were very welcoming and helpful. They are the reason our stay was so great. They made sure we had everything we needed gave us recommendations for what to do, and even helped us after checkout get a taxi. They have a private Japanese bath which is a great way to relax after a long walking day. I highly recommend staying here!

Extremely friendly hosts running the Ryokan, its' an absolute steal for the price. Lots of great information is provided for guests in the common area. The location is very convenient. You can even use the onsen privately as long as you're being mindful of the time. Great even for families and not jus Solo'ers

A fantastic stay in this classic old ryoken! Very atmospheric and charming, well located for easy walk to the main attractions in town. The staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive, with good English to compensate for our inadequate Japanese, and my family loved our stay - not least the onsen hot baths.

This is a very charming inn, clean and tidy. I really enjoyed the friendly and warm service from the owners, whom I believe are family. They greeted me when I came in & wished me well when I would leave. They always asked if I needed anything and were so helpful. I really enjoyed it and would return again.

Murataya Ryokan is situated in a really convenient location close to buses, shopping and restaurants. The owners make every effort to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The indoor onsen is fantastic after a long day of walking! Highly recommend their Japanese breakfast, it's delicious and not easy to get this outside. The care and dedication it takes to make it is just one of the reasons why this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

I greatly enjoyed my stay at Murataya, a fantastic little ryokan placed excellently along the Katamachi/Korinbo districts. The service was attentive and the rooms were clean, with delicious tea provided alongside an insulated pitcher to be prepared at one's convenience. The communal bathroom is functional and has an attached public but very small onsen. The host spoke good English as well as Japanese and was able to provide plenty of recommendations for locations to visit. The Japanese breakfast was home-cooked and delicious. I would highly recommend it (just consider that if checking in late, you have to reserve it the day before, but there shouldn't be a shortage of delicious breakfast in Kanazawa anyways). One note is that the rooms are poorly insulated due to the large Japanese windowframes, which also let in plenty of light early in the morning. Another note is that the stairwells for some rooms are very steep, so notify the front desk if you experience any mobility issues or similar.

Solo-travel friendly Ryokan

This Ryokan is a solo traveller friendly. They have room to cater one person. The owners are very nice and accommodating. They will explain to you everything about the facilities in the Ryokan. I used hands free travel service in Kanazawa station and upon check in my luggage is already in my room. Toilets and Baths are shared and is not an issue actually as never experienced them being crowded even though the Ryokan seems fully booked. Surely will book again when I return to Kanazawa.
