Kanazawa
A visit to the attractions in Kanazawa entails a historical discovery of Japan's unique heritage. In every corner and district, this northwestern city in Ishikawa Prefecture boasts picturesque streetscapes and well-preserved relics dating back to the Edo Period. One of its finest attractions, Kanazawa Castle, draws tourists and locals to explore its restored grandeur, all the way to the towering Hashizume-mon gate, and into the serene gardens of Kenroku-en. Celebrated as one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, the beauty of Kenroku-en blooms under any season. Nearby, rows of teahouses adorn the Higashi Chaya District, where geishas continue to entertain and retain traditional practices.

The hotel is very new and clean. It is located about 12 minutes walk from Kanazawa Station. It is a little far, but the famous Omi-cho Market is a five-minute walk away. There is also a drugstore diagonally opposite, which is quite convenient.

This hotel was pleasant surprise. It provides a wonderful and cozy Japanese in experience (albeit in hotel format). It is excellently situated - walking distance from the Omicho Market, the Higashi Chaya, the Oyama Shrine, the Kanazawa Castle area and Kenrokuen.

The hotel's location in front of the station was very convenient. We stayed as a family of three with a breakfast-included plan. The room size was just right, and the breakfast was delicious. I will definitely choose this hotel again when I go to Kanazawa.

If you come to Kanazawa for tourism, I will recommend this hotel to everyone! It is very convenient to go to major tourist attractions in Kanazawa, and there is a bus stop just a few steps away. In short, you must stay in Kanazawa👍👍👍It is very cost-effective, there is a bathhouse in the hotel, the design is very stylish, the room is very comfortable, and the service is very good! ! !

I stayed in the Corner Superior Twin Room, which was very spacious and clean. The bathroom, toilet, and shower were separate. There was a washing machine in the room. The breakfast was delicious, and the toiletries were great. The bed was very comfortable, and the room rate was very reasonable. I loved this hotel and will definitely stay here again next time I visit Kanazawa!

Our stay in this hotel was incredible! The staff was always very nice and helpful. The room had a decent size however we did find some hairs in the bathtub and a part of the toilet not so clean. The amenities given were great! The location of the hotel was very central, we could easily walk every where.
