This is a beautiful Ryokan! Best experience in Japan. The water in the Onsen is composed of minerals that help the skin. There is also a massage chair foot massage device. Highly recommended! The Ryokan gives you the feeling of being back in Old Japan with a 5 star service.

Staff was incredibly hospitable. They saw us arriving by taxi and immediately came outside to greet us and help with luggage. Then were taken inside to some tea and a warm towel to warm up. Extremely communicative and make you feel very comfortable.

とても趣のあるお宿です。能の舞台を見ながら頂くお食事も加賀特産のお野菜などを使用してあり、普段食べた事のない食材で美味しかったです。温泉も本当にコーヒーですか？と思う様な色でしっとりとしています。

This ryokan was a top experience of our two-week trip in Japan. Such a charming and unique oasis and glimpse of traditional Japanese life. The rooms and facilities are even better than pictured. An onsen is included in the price, and you can go as often as you'd like. We highly recommend their nine-course meal that you can reserve (for an extra fee) up to two days prior to your stay. They even accommodated our group member's gluten allergy. The ryokan is easily accessible by bus from Kanazawa station (the folks at the Tourist Information Center make it easy to find), and you're greeted by staff the minute you get off the bus, as the stop is right there. We cannot say enough about this experience. It was definitely worth its value and will forever be a highlight of our time. Thank you, everyone at Motoyu Ishiya, for making our stay a memorable one!

We had such an amazing time at this ryokan. A bit secluded just outside of Kanazawa it allowed us to just relax and enjoy the moment. The architecture and interior of the ryokan and its garden is outstanding! Every detail matters! It has a beautiful onsen, comfortable rooms and great food. We had the best time at dinner, everyone was heartwarmingly friendly and the food was served in such a nice way! I was especially grateful that they cooked an individual vegetarian meal for me! Highly recommended!

金沢の町中は人が多いので、郊外の山の中にある温泉宿を選びました。大成功。庭にある能舞台を見ながらの夕食は伝統的な加賀料理の洒落たアレンジ。ここでしか食べられないすばらしい夕食でした。もちろん朝食もすてきでした。

金沢市から少し離れた静かな山の中で、ホッと心が落ち着きます❀.*･ﾟお夕食が何を食べても美味しくて感動♡ ただ、蟹クリームチーズグラタンは少し脂っこいのか、大人には重いです。若者には喜ばれると思いますが。お風呂も気持ち良く、源泉のパックで更にお肌がスベスベ、もちもちになりました。旅館の雰囲気も良いし、旅館のスタッフさんも親切で、朝早く目覚めてしまった私に、開放時間よりも早めに朝のお風呂用意して下さいました♪ とても居心地が良かったです。

Also, the food❨dinner and breakfast❩are delicate, fresh and delicious. A traditional Japanese environment is presented. I love the Japanese garden view and decoration. I will definitely recommend 元湯石屋 to others!

A different experience from any hotel I’ve ever stayed before, but definitely worth trying. The level of service from the staff is amazing (they will go and wave goodbye to you as you leave!).

If you want a traditional Japanese experience, stay at Motoyu Ishiya Ryokan! From the warm arrival with tea to the inhouse hot springs, this is a lovely and not-to-be-forgotten experience. Staff is friendly and accommodating. All public areas have Zen views from the windows. It was truly a highlight of our trip!
