Cottages in Kanazawa

The house was exceptional, with an incredibly beautiful garden. Very comfortable accommodation and well-located not far from the market. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone travelling to Kanazawa.

I was a little late finding lodging for our trip, so we regrettably only stayed for 1 night as this place was booked for the rest of our time in Kanazawa - but WOW. Truly amazing place, and Hitty was so incredibly kind to us. He shared the house’s history with us & even brought us up into another part of the house to share some samurai era relics with us. We were personally met by Hitty & given sweets when we arrived, so make sure you give him an accurate time of arrival - we ran late on a tour but he was so gracious and kind about it. He made us a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant and we had an amazing meal. 10/10, highlight of our trip so far & we will be back!!

great location with a well maintained beautiful and fully functional house our host was exceptional he was very informative on the house and what to do and were to eat in the city -- added bonus he picked us up at the train station on our arrival and helped arrange for a taxi for our departure

The apartment was spacious, easily accommodating 4 adults and 2 children.

This was a wonderful find. The property manager offered and did pick us up from Kanazawa station and drove us to the property (no extra charge)! He then showed us how to use the door lock and the heaters (it was in the 50s when we visited). This is a Japanese home and has a kitchen stocked with pots and pan if you want to do your own cooking. Note they don't have any sauces, salt or sugar on site. We made good use of the washing machine and washed our clothes during our stay. However, it should be noted that even in many Japanese homes they don't use dryers, so had to hang dry our clothes. They did have drying racks at the property to use and we even got our jeans dry by this method. The stairs, again like many Japanese homes, are narrow and the bedrooms are on the second floor, so this might not be the place for you if you struggle with narrow steep stairs. The kitchen has an associated breakfast nook with a nice big window, but there are apartments that are on the other side, so use the blinds if you want privacy. The beds were the best we found in Japan and were warm and comfortable. One bedroom had two full size Western beds and the other room had tatami mats with futons (doubled up for extra comfort). You might be able to fit four people in the tatami mat bedroom if needed. If you haven't slept on tatami mats this is a great place to start. Both bed rooms have great natural light and the neighborhood was nice and quite. Given this was a home we had plenty of space. The home is walking distance from many of the sites you would want to see in Kanazawa including Omicho market, Kenroku-en. We found the most wonderful bakery called Hippo bakery. Japan, 〒920-0855 Ishikawa, Kanazawa, Musashimachi, 14−3 １階. I would highly recommend it for breakfast. We also did the Geisha activity with IN KANAZAWA HOUSE which was amazing! This venue was close to the property and I could send a week doing all their activities.

Everything such a cute house so traditional yet so modern easily accessible our favourite stay in Japan. I wish it was my house!

One of the highlights of our stay. Beautiful apartment inside the Geisha district of Kanazawa. Easy to get to, with the hotel staff helping out with a taxi (as the apartment is some way off the hotel who "owns it"). This stay brought good value with a decent price for a large and very cosy apartment.

Perfect location and extremely clean/aesthetic settings. Such a cozy stay. The checking process is also very smooth. The apartment literally have everything you can think of. Also, 5 min walk from Kanazawa Castle. Every time I walk around the area I feel very blessed.
