Kincha-ryo
Kincha-ryo was established in 1933 after taking over a villa built by Baron Yokoyama, a former chief retainer of the Kaga Hyakumangoku Maeda clan. A 150-year-old pine tree that was originally owned by the Yokoyama clan welcomes guests at the front entrance. Since our founding, we have continued to offer our hospitality upholding the policy to accept only one group of guests per house for exclusive service, and have built up a history as a Kanazawa guest house that welcomes distinguished guests not only from Japan but also from around the world.
Kincha-ryo was awarded a one-star rating in the Japanese cuisine / ryokan category in the Michelin Guide Toyama / Ishikawa (Kanazawa) 2016 Special Edition.
In addition to the main building, which was built at the end of the Meiji period, there are four detached houses, each with a different style, dotted around the approximately 3,300m² garden that makes use of the 40m slope from Teramachi to the Sai River.
