Experience of the stay
近江町市場目の前にある SOKI KANAZAWA。
ひとり旅で金沢に行こうと決めた時、どーーしてもここに泊まりたくて、前日のキャンセル拾いで泊まることが出来ました。
宿泊したお部屋はシンプルで落ち着く雰囲気。
初日はバスを使わずとにかく沢山歩いたので、ホテル内の大浴場がとっても嬉しい。
ただシャワーの数が少なかったので、順番待ちしてることもありました。混雑時を避けての利用がおすすめ。
館内着がしっかりしてるのは個人的に嬉しいポイント。
室内のテレビがネット対応なのもとっても嬉しかったです！お部屋でのんびりしながらNetflixで映画を観る時間、、贅沢過ぎました。
近江町市場は金沢を訪れる際にはチェックする方も多い観光スポット。私はスケジュールの関係で出来ませんでしたが、早起きして近江町市場でご飯を食べてからまた部屋でゆっくり、、なんてのもいいですね。
素敵なホテルでした。女子旅や一人旅で是非利用して欲しいです！
Experiences during the trip
Arrived in Kanazawa by Shinkansen around 11 AM 🚄. It took about two and a half hours from Tokyo Station, surprisingly fast.
Right after arriving at the station, I headed to Morimori Sushi, a famous conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I got there about ten minutes before opening and had to wait behind six groups. I was seated immediately after. The sushi had large toppings and was delicious!
After that, I walked about 15 minutes from the station to the hotel. I left my luggage at the hotel and went to Higashi Chaya District. The weather was perfect, and strolling around felt refreshing 🚶♀️. I enjoyed some alone time and hopped between two cafes.
Kazu Nakashima's fruit daifuku was so big that if you couldn't finish it, they would allow you to take it home. I couldn't finish mine and took it back to the hotel. The juicy fruit daifuku was exquisite.
Ichisho is a hojicha specialty cafe. You select your favorite from three types of hojicha, which is served with either Western sweets or Japanese sweets. I enjoyed a special experience in a quiet space. I certainly want to go back! I've recommended it to many of my friends!
After exploring the non-touristy areas by walking to Kanazawa Castle, I returned to the hotel around 3 PM. I relaxed in the hotel watching movies until dinner.
For dinner, I made my debut at a solo izakaya! I went to Uogin in Katamachi. It seemed to be a popular place because the seats filled up quickly after I entered right when they opened.
Every dish was delicious, and I ended up eating too much. I even enjoyed some sake, which I usually don't drink 🍶.
On the second day, I woke my sleepy body up at 6 AM to go to Kenrokuen Garden. The opening times vary by season, but you can enter for free until 15 minutes before opening. The morning walk was refreshing with a cool breeze, and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art had a strangely empty atmosphere.
I returned to the hotel for a quick nap 😴.
When I woke up, I went back to the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. This time, I took my time and enjoyed the artworks. Even on a weekday, there were many people around at lunch.
Finally, I visited the Ishikawa Prefectural Library, which I had wanted to check out. It was chosen as a filming location for the movie "Library Wars," and the sunlight streaming through the ceiling made it a lovely library. I wished I could have stayed longer, but I just did a quick tour and headed back home.
Kanazawa is compact, making it easy to visit various sightseeing spots, and it's highly recommended for solo travelers!
Since I started using HafH, traveling feels closer to me. I can change my schedule based on the weather, and while I sometimes feel lonely, I also appreciate spending time alone. I feel like I've grown up! LOL
I definitely recommend that everyone visit Kanazawa!
