Ryokan Yamamuro
Bungo-san and his mother run this spotless, family-owned ryokan with such attentive, personal care, annotating maps, booking tea ceremonies, sharing curated restaurant lists, and offering free bicycles, that guests sleeping on tatami futons in spacious, garden-facing rooms and soaking in the private underground hot bath come away feeling less like visitors than warmly received houseguests in one of Kanazawa's most conveniently situated traditional inns.
