This is an amazing B&B. If this location is available then jump on it. Just doesn’t get any better. Breakfast was good and ambience is wonderful.

For me, personally, the futon was a but firm but it was a wonderful experience

Great breakfast, choice of Japanese or western

Traditional ryokan with confortable and modern bathroom, convenient location, beautiful atmosphere, great service. We had to check out early, sowe received breakfast to take-out. That was thoughtful, however, it was really small for europeans. But is common in Japan, so you should know what to expect.

I liked *everything* about my stay.

Everything is perfect: location, facilities, and staff. They even have a webpage explaining how to use the various controllers (heat/AC, bathtub (which you can fill from the kitchen), heated floors, etc.). This was by far the nicest place I stayed across a month in Japan. The staff recommended and reserved seats in fantastic restaurants, where I was treated to extra dishes because I was referred by Utaimachi. 11/10 across the board!

Wow, this place is truly amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay in Kanazawa perfect. First, the location is in the historic Higashi Chaya District, allowing you to stay in an area with incredible character and beauty. It is within walking distance to other famous sites in the city including Kanazawa Castle, Kenroku-en, and Omicho Market. The facilities are amazing--beautifully maintained and restored, with both historic character and modern amenities. We truly appreciated the fact that a washer/dryer combo was in the room and there was washing detergent available as well. The very modern bathroom made us feel like we were at a spa. I loved the fact that the sleeping area was partitioned off from the dining room/kitchenette area. The futon beds were sooooo comfortable. The kitchenette area was well stocked with supplies including a microwave and induction stove for those who wanted to make something themselves. The morning breakfast was also phenomenal and probably the biggest surprise of our stay. It was absolutely delicious and one of our favorite meals during the trip. We loved the pastries and even took a detour in our site seeing day to visit the bakery they came from as we were so impressed with pastries served during breakfast. But what really sets Utaimachi apart was the INCREDIBLE staff. From check in to check out, each team member went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay and were comfortable. They gave us wonderful advice for getting around the city and helped us ship our luggage to our next hotel location. They truly went above and beyond to make our journey to and from Kanazawa smooth and stress free. Thank you so much Utaimachi for a wonderful stay and for all of your generous hospitality!

Beautiful location and the staff were delightful. They even went the extra step to make us take away breakfast packs on our morning of departure as we had an early train.

Nothing, everything was a delight.

UTAIMACHI was the highlight stay of our trip. My partner and I got held up and couldn't get to check in before 19:00. We let UTAIMACHI know and Jun stayed back late to check us in, and really took his time to make sure we were all sorted. The room is very beautiful, and there's quite a good amount of space. The provided filter coffee station was nice and the washer/dryer was in english so super easy for us to figure out. Breakfast in the morning was great, we chose the western option and there was a nice smattering of food. We had told Jun when we checked in that we did not eat meat, and so the breakfast was vego friendly. It was raining in Kanazawa the day we were there and they had umbrellas for us to borrow, and they held onto our luggage for the day while we explored the area.

Loved loved loved our stay here. FANTASTIC room with own bathroom. The seating area and bed were very spacious, and I personally loved the sliding doors. Great quality yukata and slippers provided. Opted for traditional Japanese breakfast, which was very tasty. Great location. Highly recommend

This is only minor- maybe remove the salad and add more fruit or cereal for the western breakfast

Beautiful traditional ryokan style accomodation in a historical neighbourhood - beautifully appointed

Stayed in September 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this place. The area is stunning and the accommodation is spacious and cozy, and had everything we needed. It was the highlight of our honeymoon trip to stay in this ryokan. We were also able to choose between Japanese and European style breakfast in the morning which was nice. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay there longer. Thank you :)
