Experience of the stay
This OMO is located in the Kachamachi area, which is very convenient for sightseeing in Kanazawa! The hotel's design is modern yet incorporates traditional elements of Kanazawa, making it very appealing!
At the check-in counter, there was an adorable Kutani-painted art piece shaped like "Hyakuman-san," the Ishikawa Prefecture tourism PR mascot!
Speaking of OMO, their "Neighborhood Map" is still available, providing information on nearby delicious izakayas, cafes, and restaurants, so if you're unsure about where to eat, it's highly recommended to refer to this map!
I apologize for not having pictures, but the rooms are designed for you to take off your shoes, making it very comfortable for those who want to relax! Additionally, the rooms have separate baths and toilets, as well as independent washbasins, creating a truly comfortable space! However, since the washbasin is at a higher height, I think small children might need to be held or washed in the bathroom instead! The beds consist of two beds combined that are approximately the size between a single and a semi-double, providing plenty of space to enjoy!
The staff are very kind and will share local sightseeing information and recommended restaurants. The hotel also has a cafe where you can currently experience making a specialty sweet of Ishikawa Prefecture, "Gorojima Kintoki Mont Blanc," by squeezing the cream yourself! You can also enjoy breakfast at this cafe!
Experiences during the trip
Every time I return to my hometown, I am amazed at how modern architecture is popping up and how interesting Kanazawa is becoming! The Ishikawa Prefectural Library, which used to be a regular library, is now incredibly stylish and easy to study in, and with so many books available, I thought it would be great to spend an entire day there.
Speaking of modernity, just a short walk from OMO5 to the samurai house area, the public bath "Matsunoyu," which had closed down, has been beautifully refurbished and reopened with an amazing sauna! The relaxation space was also well-equipped and absolutely wonderful!
Near OMO is an APA Hotel, which offers day-use bathing. It also has a sauna, and the outdoor bath offers a stunning view of Kanazawa's nightscape, making it highly recommended!
