Tsuruko

Tsuruko is a four-suite ryokan with its own kappo restaurant, made over three years from the building of Kaiseki Tsuruko, a Kanazawa ryotei of 1965 to 2018, in Takaokamachi between the station and Kenrokuen. Each suite of 90 to 100 sq m has a bedroom, living room, a private dining room where the kaiseki is brought straight from the kitchen, and an open-air hot-spring bath, with Kutani and other crafts made for the rooms.

Q&A

Tsuruko has no English website. Tell us your dates and our team in Japan books it for you, at the inn’s own rate. We ask for the room we would choose and look after everything else with the inn on your behalf: your preferences and requests, any special arrangement, from a celebration to a car from the station, and whatever you need before and during your stay. The price and cancellation terms are confirmed with you first.

Komatsu Airport: about 40–45 minutes by airport bus to Kanazawa station, then 6–7 minutes by taxi.
