Kanazawa Tatsunokuchi Onsen Matsusaki

I was looking for a Room with an open-air bath and in-room dining.About a 45-minute drive from Kanazawa, with a zoo and the mysterious Hanibe Gankutsu-in nearby, it felt like the perfect place for the first night of our 2-night, 3-day trip, so we decided to stay here.First, when we arrived about 10 minutes past check-in time, everyone was waiting outside in this heat, and since we weren’t used to that kind of welcome, we felt truly apologetic (lol).I was surprised by how vast the grounds were—our Room was spacious, and best of all, it had the semi open-air bath I’d been hoping for!Having a dedicated staff member (?) take care of us throughout our stay also made us feel at ease.This time it happened to be my companion’s birthday month… and when I casually mentioned it, they gave us a birthday gift at dinner. On top of that, the proprietress even put on a surprise (no spoilers), which made it such a fun and memorable experience.We heard the meals change daily, so I think even a Multiple Night Stay would be enjoyable.There are also two large public baths that are more than enough to enjoy even without an in-room bath—we were able to relax and unwind. Above all, we really appreciated the warm hospitality from all the staff.In the end everything worked out well, but since it was their birthday month I requested an additional dinner item in advance; however, on the day we were told that if we ordered that menu they would like to serve dinner not in our Room but in another private dining room instead.Since I had been looking forward to in-room dining as well, I would have appreciated being informed at the time of ordering that this might happen.That said, the room they prepared for us was private—and actually it worked out better for messy people like us because we didn’t have to rush around tidying up before dinner—so we were very satisfied.Next time I’m thinking of visiting during my own birthday month so I can experience the proprietress’s surprise again.Thanks to you all, it turned into a wonderful Kanazawa trip.Thank you very much!

We had a very busy July and August, so my husband and I stayed here to unwind and reward ourselves. Our Room had a semi-open-air bath, and there were also large public baths, so we truly enjoyed the Onsen to the fullest. Since there were few other guests, we were served breakfast in the neighboring guest room. It was so delicious that we almost ran out of rice. The lotus flowers on the grounds were past their peak, but koi were swimming in the large pond, and I felt it was a calm and relaxing Accommodation. When I was a child, my father used to say Matsusaki was a wonderful Accommodation, so I had always wanted to stay here at least once. That wish came true. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much. After checkout, the proprietress kindly came out to see us off at our car and waved with a smile. The way she tilted her head slightly as she waved was very charming. I am grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime encounter. With gratitude in prayerful hands.
