This well-regarded ryokan was established in 1890. The first owner of the ryokan was a famous man whom Kitaoji Rosanjin called "the best man in Hokuriku, a guest of honor in Kanazawa, and a great tea master of all." The ryokan attracted many gourmet figures and tea masters from all over Japan. Taste their refined dishes which have inherited the “one restaurant for one guest” motto of hospitality since its establishment.
In Kanazawa, which prospered as Kaga domain during the Edo period, art and culture flourished, including the tea ceremony and pottery. A unique art scene developed in Kaga, which was glamorous while still reflecting samurai philosophy. The restaurant has a reputation for its beautiful and delicate dishes, including seasonal kaiseki meals, Kanazawa's famous blackthroat seaperch, snow crab, and Jibuni stew, as well as full-course meals. All dishes use Kanazawa pottery, known for their traditional craftsmanship. You can enjoy many blissful moments while looking down upon the townscape of Higashi Chaya-Gai District and the garden that spreads out before you.
All four guestrooms are spacious, and arranged in a truly Japanese style. From check-in to check-out, a complete private space is maintained so that you will not encounter other guests.
