350years old house with culture and activity2
It is a renovated traditional house with a lot of history, and my family and I had a relaxing stay!I also enjoyed talking to Koji!

Free Parking | Private Accommodation Hotel 1 Minute Walk from Kanazawa's Higashi Chaya District
We loved the house and decoration. Parking was a close enough and laundry was next to the house. We will definitely love to stay here again if it’s available.

Entire private house with 3 Bedrooms
It was very nice to have bread and drinks for breakfast, towels changed daily, and garbage collected. The room has gas heating as well as air conditioning, and it was warm even during the New Year holidays. There is no TV, but there is a large monitor and a computer, so it was enough with internet news and TVer. The first floor has a dining room, kitchen, and a large Japanese-style room. There is a Japanese-style room where one person can sleep comfortably. The second floor has a bedroom for two people. There seems to be a bedroom for three people on the third floor. It's a mattress type, so it's as easy to use as a bed. The Noto earthquake occurred during our stay. I evacuated to the mountainside because I didn't know the land at 5 meters above sea level. At that time, I was able to contact the owner immediately. It was also nice to order New Year's Eve dinner from the restaurant next door. (I think the reservation deadline is quite early) If you're going to cook, it's a good idea to bring some of your own food. We brought a portable IH stove, a sukiyaki pot, a pot to boil New Year's soba, an oven, a yakiniku plate, etc.

2minutes walk to Kenrokuen!One building rental3LDK
It's an amazing place for longer stays. Our group of 6 (male, 20s) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Compared to other places, what made it stand out to us were the living room, large bathroom and multiple toilets, and combination washer-dryer. Communication during our stay was also excellent and a problem with the microwave was resolved quickly. While the location is great for visiting nearby attractions like Kenrokuen and as a base for driving out of the city, there are better options if you plan to take the train out multiple times. Parking is out front and fit our Toyota Alphard. Our group didn't have any significant complaints.

Exceeded expectations, nothing bad to say.

[Room for rent] 120-year-old kominka house/up to 2 people/30-minute drive to Kanazawa and World Heritage Sites
Staying here is the best decision I have made on my (so far) 3 week Japan trip. This place had the least reviews of all places I’m staying at - but it turned out to be so amazing. The host is so sweet, kind, (very) responsive and helpful. I needed help with understanding how to visit Shirikawa-go, and she helped me understand how to do it. She really did everything to make my stay amazing. The guest house overall is according to the photos and description, and it felt really nice being there. Peaceful atmosphere and everything. If you want to experience something truly Japanese, I think this especially then is an amazing choice. Also, the Wi-fi was amazing! Can’t remember the exact speed I had… but I believe it was consistently over 130mbps. Worked extremely well. This is fairly easy to access from the nearest station - around a 15min walk. I can SO highly recommend this place - and I want to come back here again - hopefully I get to do so soon. Thank you!! ☺️

Guest House Totem, whole floor, up to six people.
We couldn't find a better host. Glen was very friendly and helped us a lot with transportation to and from the train station. The accommodation was just as advertised. Very comfortable and spacious. There are no transportation stations nearby, but it was very easy to get around by Uber and taxi.

Kanazawa Station 3-minute walk | Apartment hotel pink twin room | Morning check-in & night check-out OK
It's a very nice room with a sink inside the room. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with with everything you need for cooking. Even though it is a shared washroom, the toilet and the shower area is very clean. We were able to have good night sleep in the room as the surrounding is so quiet. The location is especially good, just a few minutes walk to the JR station and walking distance to tourist attractions. Would love to stay here again!
