Lodgings in Housai

The room was comfortable and cosy.

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.

Tae, our contact for the property, was incredible! Helpful way above and beyond. The property was very enjoyable, had lovely decorative items, nice space, and a dandy location.

Great location, close to the train station and easy walk to the castle park. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Location Interesting building Nice layout

Very easy to check in. Very communicative over email. Fantastic house! Everything we were looking for during our stay! Located close to everything we wanted to do during our stay. Was harder to find, but we knew it would be and eventually found it. Truly was a wonderful home base for our stay!

This apartment is gorgeous, spacious, modern with respect for the beautiful wood structure beneath which has been maintained with great care.

Amazing place to stay if you’re looking for a ryokan experience. Beautiful ryokan with a lot of attention to detail. Our host Hitty was great, he gave us a brief introduction to the history of the place which was very interesting and a lot of great tips where to go and what to do at Kanazawa.

Place is warm, the host provided us with an extra heater. I love that it has english instruction label on everything, it's super friendly for tourists. The place also provides a very complete utensils set for everything like home.

Large modern apartment with 2 bedrooms. Great central location. Easy access. 2nd floor. No lift. Good communication from owner.

This place exceeded our expectations. Extremely clean and spacious. Gives a really positive vibe. Unfortunately we had only one day here. Wish we had stayed at least two days in Kanazawa. It had all the kitchen utensils even things like foil wrap and flimsy wrap if that’s what it’s called 😅 It had a good spacious shower looked and smelled good. Had washer and dryer both in one machine. It worked well for me.

The proxinity to the station and other convenient stores Also the massage chair in the room is good surprise

The size of the Kulton Apartment was bigger than I expected, big enough for me and my wife to be comfortable for the two nights that we booked. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, only 15 minutes walking to the Kanazawa station. We even needed to book a taxi and the owners helped us with the Booking.
