Our room was very beautiful and spacious. It came with its own outdoor bathtub and even a massage chair. Dinner and breakfast are served in private dining nooks on the first floor near the lobby. The food was delicious but somehow lacked that extra oomph or special twist that would have made it memorable. Maybe this was just because the food in the area is generally of such a high quality, my taste buds were spoiled. Still had a very relaxing experience, however! Would recommend if you're looking for places near Kanazawa.

Stayed here for three nights which was probably one night too much as three days of formal Japanese food for breakfast and dinner is a bit much and you need to go in a taxi to get anywhere outside the hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful in a lovely location. The staff were charming and friendly and the rooms very comfortable and well designed (although obviously being a ryokan you are sleeping on the floor). We had a room with our own bath on the veranda which was lovely with views over the river although it was quite a bit more expensive. I'd recommend Takitei to anyone who wants to try a ryokan but suggest just one or two nights rather than three.

I just dont know how to express the feeling when i saw the outdoor onsen. The view is just marvellous, facing a water fall.
We got an upgrade in the room and it is huge, nicely decorated & cozy.
Also love the kaiseki and the way they presented it.
Just one thing which is not very nice is they didnt reply my email on picking up service to the hotel. So we were a bit nervous in finding way to the hotel after we got off the bus.
