Experience of the stay
I brought my mother, who wanted to eat crab in Kanazawa during autumn, and we stayed one night at this hotel. Since it is often featured on YouTube and other platforms, I was looking forward to our stay. I had also requested breakfast in advance.
We arrived at the hotel in the morning. There is a space right next to the entrance to leave luggage before checking in. Although that area was full this time, a staff member was at the reception counter, and I was able to leave my luggage there.
Our room had two beds in a raised style, and it was equipped with a kettle and a humidifier.
There were sweet chestnut snacks and Kanazawa hōji tea prepared for us. There was also a water dispenser on the second floor, and I could get delicious tea from there.
Inside the hotel, it was possible to walk around in provided loungewear and slippers.
To get to the large public bath, I used the basket bag provided in the room. Such thoughtful touches are delightful.
Although the bath is not a hot spring, it was a calming space that I could use comfortably.
The amenities are actually from OSAJI! I was soothed by the lovely scent. The hairdryer was also a user-friendly Sharp model.
In the post-bath space, there were sweet sake and coffee milk available, which was another pleasant service.
At night, I slept well with the blackout curtains closed.
The breakfast was a balanced bento-style meal, delicious in taste and beautifully presented.
It costs about 1,000 yen by taxi from Kanazawa Station, and the hotel is right in front of Omicho Market. I had no trouble finding food. There’s also a Sugi Pharmacy right in front!
As it is a new hotel, there are plenty of power outlets, making it really convenient for guests.
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, after leaving my luggage, I went to see a Geisha performance. For only 1,500 yen, I was able to experience the dance and traditional games with Geishas, which seemed to be part of a Kanazawa cultural promotion project. It was a very precious experience.
Afterwards, I walked through the streets of Kanazawa on my way back to the hotel. There are various alleys, and I highly recommend exploring them.
In the evening, I visited the main restaurant, Kaga Yasukata. I had reserved the Kaban crab in advance. The sushi rice had a mild vinegary taste, and the ingredients were excellent—I loved it! The cost performance was great, but a reservation is essential.
The next day, I had a volunteer guide arranged for Kenrokuen. The autumn leaves were just starting to change color, and it was beautiful. This was my second visit to Kenrokuen, and I recommend going in autumn. It was stunning and truly a pride of Japan! Having a guide enhances the experience tremendously, making everything about it enjoyable, so I think it's a great idea to request one.
For lunch, I went to Kanazawa Gyokusentei. Here, you can enjoy a meal while looking at the Nishida Family Garden. After eating, I strolled through the garden. The freshly cooked rice was delicious!
The weather was great, so I once again enjoyed a leisurely stroll.
