Experience of the stay
I stayed in a twin room at OMO5 Kanazawa Katamachi by Hoshino Resorts.
The room style allows you to enter without shoes!
There is a large sink and a separate bath and toilet, and there is a door between the bedroom, so you can feel at ease even with other guests in the room.
While the color scheme is calm, the pop interior raises your travel mood.
I participated in the activity 'Kanazawa Katamachi Tasting Walk', where that day we were guided through the drinking area and samurai residences to recommend dinner spots.
It was a very good experience, especially since I would never have ventured into that area alone.
I highly recommend it for first-time visitors to Kanazawa!
Breakfast was a set of risotto, soup, salad, yogurt, and a drink.
The colorful detox water is beautiful, but the volume was a bit small.
The next morning, I participated in the '21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art Walk Tour', where a guide took us through the free areas of the museum.
Having a guide like this is truly appreciated when you can't prepare for your trip in advance.
The hotel overall has a nice balance of casualness and calmness.
It seems comfortable for not just young people but also seniors. In fact, there were several senior couples as well.
Experiences during the trip
In Kanazawa, the aim was to visit the Daisetz Suzuki Museum.
I walked through a picturesque alley with a canal and a famous sweet shop, 'Tsubomi,' and turned right at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art towards Hond Park. It was about a 10-minute walk.
Hond Park seems to have been where the Honda family, former vassals of the Kaga Domain, lived, adjacent to Kenrokuen Garden.
The 'Green Path' leading from the well-equipped Kanazawa City Nakamura Memorial Museum to the Daisetz Suzuki Museum feels as though I am walking in a forest, it's wonderful!
I enjoyed a peaceful moment at the Daisetz Suzuki Museum while slowly viewing the pond and books!
After returning to the Kanazawa City Nakamura Memorial Museum, I climbed the 'Art Path' towards the Prefectural Museum of Art.
Though short, it's a stairway path that makes you want to call it a 'mountain path.' I was out of breath, but the sound of a stream created a nice atmosphere.
The tea room at the Prefectural Museum of Art is 'Le Musee de Ash KANAZAWA' by patissier Hiroaki Tsujiguchi. The cakes and tea are delicious, and the garden beyond the glass provides a relaxing space.
The area around Hond Park is a very good place to enjoy Japanese beauty and the aesthetic sense of the Kaga Domain.
I would love to visit again in a different season.
