Wonderful building with a great atmosphere and interesting history.

The place itself is so beautifully authentic, and the hospitality above every level I expected,Because it was a good, warm atmosphere despite the cold outside, I slept for about 12 hours because the bed was so comfortable and the room heated to the perfect temperature adapted to Japan's cold winter days.

Spotless, warm, inviting, filled with personalized information and attention, this is what it felt like.

There is a room with traditional Japanese decoration and the rest of the house was comfortable and welcoming.

We were able to feel the traditional architecture of Kanazawa in the guesthouse Pongyi.

Its a place in which you can feel the history and is so welcoming and homely feeling.

We highly recommend Guest House Pongyi for everyone who likes to receive a warm welcome in a peaceful and quiet environment and would like to learn more about Japanese culture.

The building was beautifully decorated, the female dorm was lovely.

I can not recommend Pongyi highly enough, the atmosphere is genuine, the location is perfect

We had the 2-person private room which was just the cutest and decorated very cosy.

The owner, possibly the most kind-hearted man on the planet, bought this old style kimono shop and turned it into a warm, homely and comfortable guesthouse, with lovely, helpful staff and the opportunity for unique Japanese experiences - for example, many nights of the week they will put on a group activity such as caligraphy lessons or cooking and eating a traditional meal together.

I loved the decoration and furniture, it's very cosy, not to mention the staff who went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.

We had the Japanese style room which is very confortable.

Masaki and Maru really make you feel at home and create a lovely social atmosphere in the guesthouse.

The Guesthouse is very clean, perfectly decorated and also is easy to reach on foot from the station and the city center.

The hostel is wonderfully clean and tidy and has a really fun atmosphere.

Masaki and Maru were so friendly and inviting.

Nina and Misaki were incredibly friendly and accommodating at all times.

Everyone was so friendly and accommodating.

They are kind, friendly and warmhearted people.

All this and a great night of laughter and friendly chatting in just one day!

They are super friendly and make you feel really comfortable.

And, most of it, all the team is super nice and friendly !

The hosts are amazingly friendly and genuinly want to make you feel at home and make the most of your stay in Kanazawa.

They were very friendly, genuine and easy to talk to.

Masaki, Maru and Nina were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Maru was very friendly and helpful.She helped me booked a bus to Shirakawa-go village.Also they have some activities that you can get to know more about japan as hand writing in Japanese language.

The amazing of the stay is the friendly staff, you feel like if you were at home, every night there are activities you can join for free.

This is a wonderful house, offering friendly and attentive service from the live-in staff.

The staff was really friendly And helpful, the hostel was super clean and it is located perfectly!

Staff Maru and Masaki are so nice people, really friendly and they offer daily activities so that guests can easily socialize to each other.

The hosts were very friendly and really wanted to get to know you.

The owner Masaki san and the staff Maru san are very nice and friendly.

Furthermore, the staff is very friendly, warm and helpful.

So much love and kindness in such a tiny (yet comfortable) guesthouse !

They explained to us about the place, and the area, and also connected us to the attractions in the area.

The guest house also has an amazing ethos of caring for others and a small amount from each stay goes towards an orphanage in Myanmar, which we found very touching.

Would definitely recommand to everyone : the hosts are very welcoming, and the place is very comfortable yet historical.

From the moment you walk in Guesthouse Pongyi, you are greeted like a friend returning home.

The staff is so nice and welcoming and the house is beautiful!

This is so good hostel for a traveler , every corner can be rest, and I like this house that story  about   kanasawa of traditional japan, soft bed, kindly staff, this is safety place for woman, and not far from station.

Let me try though:

Welcoming: This is one of the Guesthouses where I have authentically felt at home.

Masaki and Nina were wonderful and kind hosts.

I especially enjoyed participating in actives such as Origami and making matcha with the owners and the other guests.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay ( Shame it was only one night), the gifts they gave were were so kind and also helping us to find somewhere for dinner 😊 we will always remember Pongyi 💕

Me and my friend recently visited Guest House Pongyi and were very warmly welcomed with a traditional (and still casual) tea ceremony, which was a very friendly gesture.

Masaki and Nina were so welcoming and helpful during, before and after my stay (storing my luggage, going out of their way to help me book a bus, giving recommendations that perhaps only locals would know about).

Great Hostel, I stayed for two days, i enjoyed free activities every day Guest owner take some guests and me to the geishas neighbourhood for free.

We stayed here 2 nights and had a great time, because of our hosts Nina and Masaki.

The staff, Masaki and Nina were so wonderful and kind, and extremely accommodating.

"If you look closely, it is true that there was a sensor under the interphone,

Probably, an outdoor unit, a water heater and a transformer for the hotel room cooler were installed on the east side,

There were a few people who were in trouble because they rattled the locker keys in the public bath.LolBecause I keep turning, I think that it would be helpful if you can draw out without turning (I'm sorry for being bossy)The trip to Kanazawa became a pleasant memory.Thank you!I want to use it again.

I used it with breakfast for one night on September 1.I was wasted time because the air conditioner in the room was not working, and I was cut off time to sleep again, so I am sorry,

covid 19: Shared spaces regularly ventilated
Guestrooms ventilated between uses
Dining areas regularly ventilated.

You can see the window of the apartment across from the bath.Can't you see it from there?That's really the only thing that bothered me.It was a very refreshing trip!I will come again without fail.Thank you very much.

!If I can forgive you, I want to live in this hotel!Sensibly,Hotel + Ryokan + luxury apartment = Aya's garden hotel.No one should want to fail due to unpleasant feelings when staying at an unfamiliar destination.As for this hotel, there is no such anxiety.There were a lot of points for women in particular to start amenities and be happy about.From the customers who use the train, I think it is inconvenient to stay away from the station on a location,

I used it for Kanazawa sightseeing.Tourist spots are crowded, and the hotel in front of the station is a high-rise building, so I chose a hotel with a low-rise hot spring.It's a hotel,

I will next time.Also, as the plan name suggests, "Dedicated breakfast" was also correct.The variety and taste were also very good.I had curry, so I was topped with a roast of vegetables next door and had them curry in the morning.It was delicious ~ I went to see Hakusan from the rooftop recommended by the staff before checkout ~ Unfortunately it was after heavy rain, so I could not see it at all in Moya w.There is also an all-you-can-drink refrigerator .

On February 5 and 6, I traveled alone for the first time.Based on Rakuten Travel's reviews, it is decided as a "colored garden"!Kanazawa is amazingly snowy and it is hard to go anywhere, and check-in is at 9:30.The staff were all smiles, the room was large and beautiful.Large baths are also healed.There was also a tasting of sake and wine, and I had a little while watching snowy scenery like a snowstorm.I've thought about it over time.It is similar to the "season garden" of Kusatsu Onsen that I was indebted to at Rakuten Travel before.I think it's just a coincidence that the "garden" is the same,

covid 19: Guests asked to disinfect upon arrival
Guests asked to wash their hands and rinse their mouths
Guests asked to wear masks when not in their room
Guests asked to fill out COVID inquiry during check-in
Guests given temperature checks during check-in.

It was a very good inn!New and clean, delicious food, pick-up, and exclusive lockers are available at the station.Everyone was very friendly, kind and wonderful.

but it was a really wonderful hotel.It was a deserving plan, but it was good enough to make me sorry.I am local, but I would like to recommend it to anyone from outside the prefecture.The staff members were polite and charming and very friendly, and I was happy to have warm Kaga Bocha (Kaga Bocha) served at check-in.Personally, I was thrilled by the brooch of the turtle water pull, which is decorated in the uniform of the staff.

but it was friendly and polite with a smile.The ice cream is delicious, too.And I was thrilled.I had time while my family was working, so it was good to get information on Kanazawa.A system where you can buy the work of a craftsman beside the door is also lovely.I wanted to visit again.

The employees were friendly and kind.I felt relaxed to meet you, see you off!Thank you.It's a hotel,

It was a clean and clean inn.The staff were all friendly with a smile.There was also a map of recommended shops around your station, which was helpful.

but there is also a transfer to the free locker, which was very helpful.Room is large and spaciousI brought back the cake and enjoyed chatting until midnight vIn addition, there are plenty of amenities in the public bath, and I am very satisfied.The breakfast was delicious and I ate too much.The omelet limited to the quantity recommended by the front desk sister got up early GETI want to use it when I come to Kanazawa again.

The response of everyone at the hotel was very polite and favorable!The cleanliness of the room and the beauty of the garden were also good!The breakfast buffet was also delicious and I thought it was unusual to have soft serve ice cream!

but there was no problem because the bus to and from the station was regular.Also, away from the station, you can stop the car for free, so it is very helpful for me to come sightseeing by car.The facilities are clean and the hospitality of the employees is very nice, and I would like to use them when I come to Kanazawa.Thank you very much.

Everything in the building was very clean and the staff responded well and I was really relaxed.Thank you for welcoming and seeing me off to the car in the rain.

but the bath in the room was good.Amenities were also plentiful.The staff were all kind and the smiles were very nice.It has healed.I will definitely use it next time.I'd like to use it in another place other than Kanazawa.

but it was very helpful to respond to the request that we had prepared in the room by surprise.My parents and guest rooms were clean and I said I was satisfied with the pleasant stay, so I would like to use it by all means when I go on a trip.

It was a very comfortable hotel.The staff response from check-in correspondence to check-out was also very good.The rooms were well equipped, and the air purifier, amenities and drinking water were very substantial.My friend reserved a free rental bicycle, so I could sightsee with good time and ride comfort!The breakfast was delicious, and there were many kinds, and I ate plenty and was able to move on the second day trip actively.

It was a very wonderful hotel.The staff members are very familiar with Kanazawa and its surroundings, and they study well.I felt it.Breakfast was rich in variety and all were delicious.I am particular about local production for local consumption,I was also able to know about the specialty.Personally, pumpkin salad and pumpkin soupIt was very delicious.The garden on the hotel grounds was also very nice.This time I stayed in a double standard room,

It was very clean and comfortable just for the new hotel.Breakfast is as good as lunch.The employees were also good.It was just a plan with one Edy card,

I stayed overnight from July 10th.It hasn't been long since it opened, so the rooms and buildings were beautiful.There were many types of breakfast and the taste was delicious.The staff were also very kind and pleasant.I thought it was a hotel that I would like to use again.

We stayed one night with breakfast for three people.There are only new ones, the building is clean everywhere, and the rooms are large.There were crafts and flower vase displays here and there, woodwork, and even one amenity I could feel the concept of Kanazawa in various places.It was also helpful that the bathhouse was available until 24:00.Breakfast was delicious without slippage,

The staff's spirit is completely different from check-in.At the time of check-in, it was a waste of a night!I thought.I wanted to enjoy Kanazawa more slowly.Breakfast is different from the amazing breakfast buffet that is common, and I am overwhelmed by the real taste.I wanted to tell you that it was a delicious meal.Thank you everyone.

I explained very carefully at check-in.The rooms are spacious and well equipped and satisfying.There was a chair and a small mirror on the wash basin, and a mirror next to the reception TV.The bath was spacious and pleasant.The location is not good,

but it is very convenient because there is a regular transfer to Kanazawa Station.Breakfast is a buffet style, but it was very delicious because it uses plenty of Kaga vegetables and seasonal ingredients, and there are omelets and "throat black" of live kitchen.And above all, I felt that the service of the employees was the best and that "everything is for the customer".Mother and children were all overjoyed, and it became the best Kanazawa trip.Also, when I have the opportunity to go to Kanazawa, I will stay at "Aya no Niwa Hotel".

Breakfast is very delicious with a wide variety.The staff responded well, and I was able to spend comfortably and relaxingly.

It was a meticulously attentive hotel.The amenities were perfect, and I was surprised to find that there were ice candy services at the public bath.I decided to go to Kanazawa in November, so I decided to stay here,

In front of the entrance, we greeted you properly, and the check-in procedure was also guided carefully by sitting.In addition, the rooms were very clean and compact,

Located in a quiet residential area and far from the hustle and bustle, it is a quiet setting.Kanazawa is also healed in the making of hospitality, garden and crafts that are conscious of Kanazawa.The new room, the making of the room, the two TVs, the separate twin, was good in a different space from the bedroom.Except for the fact that the food was crowded, there were many kinds and I enjoyed Kanazawa-like ingredients.One tea candy?It ended without eating, which is a shame.Free offer of mineral water, happy consideration.There is no luggage transportation from the front desk to the room,

but there are free buses and coin lockers, and it was convenient enough for business use.After checking out and arriving at the station, I noticed something I had forgotten and contacted the hotel, but it was really helpful for the staff to respond immediately.I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.Thank you very much.

"The staff are polite, smile constantly, and feel comfortable hospitalityThat enthusiasm came through.There is also a free rental bicycle (with gear change function), and it is very active in Kanazawa sightseeing!You can ride a bike from here to Kenroku-en.They prepared tea candy in the room, and I was impressed that it was like an inn.Since it was a weekday, the bath is almost reserved, and there is a free massage chair after the bathI feel at home.It is a hotel with a warm atmosphere that I would like to use again.

Kanazawa Sainoniwa Hotel

check-in/out staff

As it is a traditional house, some places are very cold in winter.

Some reviewers noted that the bathroom is a bit cold, which I would agree with,

The owners were extremely friendly and the entire stay (check-in, check-out, etc) was very pleasant.

Great place, very accommodating and friendly hosts.

The hostess was very friendly and helpfull.

Private shower and bath ,very clean room ,lovely features and super helpful and friendly .

The hosts were fantastic: friendly, extremely helpful and polite.

This Ryokan is comfortable, clean, well positioned with friendly helpful staff.

From the moment we set foot inside, to her warm farewell, Mie-San and her family were gracious and friendly hosts whose kindness and hospitality was evident at every turn. We were consistently impressed by the quality of the food, from the delicious treats that welcomed us upon arrival, the ample Japanese breakfasts  (with an awesome coffee machine - much-needed after morning trips for pitiful joe from the local Family Marts in our other stops in Tokyo and Kyoto!)

Mie-san was very friendly and thorough with both pre-trip communication and welcoming me when I arrived.

Loved the large rooms after staying in a business hotel in Tokyo, and everyone was very friendly with English spoken.

The room was large and clean, breakfast was very tasty and the Staff is absolutely friendly, helpful, professional and can speak good English.

This ryokan was exactly what we wanted: authentic, clean, spacious, appropriately priced, good location, great breakfast, outstandingly friendly and helpful owner and staff.

She is super friendly and shared with us more about the history of Sumiyoshiya.

Friendly staff, clean room, great location and most important DELICIOUS FOOD!

My room was superb, the staff friendly and helpful (they sorted out Takayubin for my bag) and the food was wonderful.

This ryokan is lovely, nice rooms, very friendly and helpful staff.

I would recommend staying here as the location is convenient, the rooms are clean and spacious and the hosts are warm and friendly.

The location is great, as it is very close to both the Omi-Cho Market, and the Kanazawa Castle Park.

It was a seafood feast featuring all the fresh daily catch from the fish market next door.

Also, on our last night we had dinner at the ryokan and it was the best meal - they are so close to the market so we had the freshest sashimi, fish and tempura.

The ryokan is located at 10 minutes’ walk from the castle and 15 minutes from the garden; also the typical food market is very close and worth a visit.

The ryokan is located centrally, within easy walking distance to the train station,  the market and other sights.

Very clean. Perfect location in between the market(a must do!)

We wore our Japanese robes to a dinner that was bought fresh from the market ( which is a 2 minute walk from the hotel).

Mei also recommended a shop for a local japan made yukata for sleeping,  from the market next door.

The ryokan is in a great location right near the castle and gardens, and also the food market.

Location ideal almost next door to the market.

It's located just a block from the fish market (where you'll want to get early in the morning) and at least three of the top tripadvisor-rated restaurants are within a block distance as well.

So close to Kanazawa Castle and the market.

The futon bed was made up for us in the other large room after dinner and it was comfortable and snug.I would certainly stay again if in Kanazawa, close to the train station, markets and several gardens and attractions, it was excellent value and very enjoyable.

Shopping, a great market area and restaurants are close by, as are the extraordinary gardens and the Kanazawa Castle. There's lots of nice restaurants to choose from,

We walked here from the Train/bus station and were delighted to be within walking distance of Kenrokuen Gardens and Omichi market, freshest sashimi ever!

The ryokan is in a very nice typicla historic builndgin stepsa from the central covered market and fromt the Castel park, a bit more far (15 min on foot) from the station and from other sightseeing points of the old city.

The inn was located 5 min walk from the major seafood market, where you can eat fresh raw seafood on the spot with a reasonable price.

We were close to everywhere we wanted to go, market, castle, gardens etc.

The fish markets are literally 1min walk and the castle and gardens are 5min walk away.

Just down the road is the fish market and a large department store, plus comfortable walking distance to Kanazawa castle and many other attractions.

Very close to the market and walking distance to the castle.

We staied 2 nights in this ryokan and were dilighted, The localisation of the ryokan is perfect, close to the market, the Park, and not far from the Geisha area and the Samouraï area.

Location is right around the corner from a great fresh food market and in very close vicinity of Kanazawa's prime site, Kenrokuen garden.

First of all, Mie Sumi is the most efficient person to deal with - she always responded to any queries I had on time and accommodated requests as best as she could.

Mie, the owner, was extremely helpful, informing us in advance about train disruptions due to the typhoon, she booked restaurants for us in advance, organised for our luggage to go to Tokyo in advance, in short she did everything.

Ms Mie speaks a good English which is of help in communication.

From he minute we entered the Ryokan, we were greeted by our host.

A family run business, our lovely host Mie Sumi went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

First of all, thank you very much to the hotel to helping us finding a baby clinic with English speaking staff, they called a few, printed maps and information etc, really helped us a lot.

The hostess and staff were always pleasant and greeted us kindly with every encounter.

Staff on premises were very attentive - there are many rules (as expected from a Ryokan),

From the moment I arrived, the lady at the front desk made me feel very welcome.

But best of all they were incredibly helpful and it made our stay in Kanazawa much better.

The staff here are very helpful in all aspects.

Email communication and booking was easy and Mie Sumi speaks excellent English.

The rooms and whole facility were spotlessly clean and our host was very warm and welcoming.

Lovely warm and welcoming host, super helpful and lovely room.

Mie who looked after us spoke good English and was a perfect host.

Mei is really sweet and kind, and as everyone else has said, very helpful.

I highly recommend Sumiyoshiya for the hospitality and the amazing dinner!

The dinner was a lovely experience enjoyed in our room and the continental breakfast was generous.

It’s the very best of Japanese hospitality.

Our first experience with  traditional  Japanese hotel - and a very good one.

Our beds were so comfortable and sleeping on a Japanese bed was a great experience.

Highly recommended for an immersive Japanese experience.

We decided to go for the traditional Ryokan experience in Kanazawa, and Sumiyoshiya was a perfect choice.

Wonderful experience and the price is right.

Wonderful Ryokan for an authentic experience

Overall we were pleased with our experience here and would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a traditional ryokan.

The ryokan has been run by this family for many generations and they truly have a gift for hospitality.

but if you are looking for a traditional Japanese experience, this has to be one of the best!

I loved the experience I had here and I would definitely stay again.

Thank you Mie and your family for the wonderful hospitality!

Mie san who take care of the ryokan is very very kind person, she speak very good english and always try to help if you need anything, her hospitality made me feel at home. .

but it was a good impression with a point of view.The delicious breakfast and the friendly staffI think the point is particularly high.I saw many elderly people and families.This time, we're going on a family vacation to Kanazawa.I wanted to use it when I came.

4700 yen per person in the middle of the tray is cheap!Recommended for those who just stay at a hotel.However, instead of the size of the hotel, there was a queue to see if the large public bath was small.Other than that, I'm satisfied.The staff were also friendly and warm.

but there is no problem if you travel alone.Moreover, the smiles of the staff and the friendly use of words were pleasant.

The front desk is friendly and very good.Rooms are common.The bath is not a natural hot spring,

but everyone in chargeThere was little that was friendly and stiff.The food, bath and location are all perfect.Because Kanazawa Station is near, you can hear the sound of the train,That is also the best part of the trip, so I will not make it negative.If you are staying in Kanazawa, it is a recommended hotel.

The room was small for a double.Breakfast was delicious,

I also think overall it was good.The room was a bit small,

The bath is very satisfying for the price.The bathroom and toilet in the room are small,

The room is small for the price!I would like to extend the time of the public bath (about 1 hour)

The bath was very good.The room is small,

It was very small from the station and the location was great!The room was a bit small,

The public bath was good.The room is a little small,

but [attention, concept, staff type] feels comfortable of [a little 5 stars] if you put it in a rude way.Even with 5 stars, the room is small, and the bathroom in the room is small, but there is also a price.Japanese and Western breakfasts are also of sufficient quality and quantity.It is a hotel that is always impressed.Thank you very much.Trainees working in restaurants"Please work hard and make it a better hotel.I'm always selfish.Gassho

The single room and semi-double room were a bit small,

Room too small, bath too small, plus none for the price

but suddenly I needed another room on the morning of the day and I applied from Rakuten, but luckily I was vacant, so I got it immediately.Guests are a couple, daughter and grandson of a small student.The room which added one room was cheap in a room with no view, but due to the consideration of the hotel side, they became neighbors and prepared a room with a view.I was sorry, but my grandchildren could see the train and the scenery, so I enjoyed it.Thank you.

The rooms are small and have a feeling of old facilities.The food was good.

I stayed two nights at work from November 21.The room was small,

but three floors in a row twice.If you think so, the room is small, and there is no swab in the room, so the amenity feels normal.Probably the third floor next.I think.In the case of Japanese cuisine, red broth is available for breakfast, so I am very satisfied.When I go on a business trip, most hotels have only white miso, so I inevitably choose Western food.You can also choose grilled fish, and the quality of breakfast is extremely high.In addition, the people of the breakfast venue are energetic and very good.I hope that one day I will be able to advance to the third floor or higher.

(bitter smile) I thought that Emerbet would be made .

It's not bad, it's not satisfactory. I felt it was very average.I wanted more attention.However, I was impressed that the newcomers at the front desk worked so hard.Regarding breakfast, the restaurant itself had a sense of luxury,

but I was relieved that the hotel also responded comfortably.There was also a large public bath and it was awesome!

button on the phone in the room,It was a surprise.I'm staying at various hotels on business, but it was my first time.If you ask me to change tens of thousands of yen bills at the front desk just before the clock out,Thank you for your kind attention.The public bath and breakfast were very satisfying.Friends who stayed with him also said it was a "good hotel.

)・ The bath is large, and there is also a resting place to spend slowly.・ The smile on the front desk was very nice and impressive.・ Restaurants are affordable and have a solid taste.・ Detailed worries of staff can be felt everywhere.I was able to spend comfortably and comfortably, even with the price.The location is good, so I think it is a recommended inn.

but it still felt far away.However, overall, I think it is a good hotel.In particular, I thought the staff was good.

The staff response was fantastic and good.I was a little worried about the sound of the train at night.

The food was especially good, and Japanese breakfast was exceptional.There were also many kinds of bread for Western food, so I stayed overnight, so I got both.When I go to Kanazawa next time, I would like to use it again.

It was closer than I expected from the station.Correspondence of the front desk was good,

The location and atmosphere of the front desk were both good.There was a large public bath on the second floor (there is also an open-air bath), and it was refreshing.There is a resting place outside the public bath, so go to the public bath with family and couples,You can also wait after leaving the bath.

It is not painful to walk from Kanazawa Station near the station exit.At the time of check-in, the front desk listened back to the explanation quite quickly twice and three times,
