The most wonderful hotel!
"This was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in! The room was beautiful and comfortable, breakfast was tasty, the location was convenient. My only regret is that I didn't ask if they sold the pajamas they provided there, I absolutely loved them!"

Kanazawa is beautiful - a mini Kyoto is how we would describe it. We particularly loved the old geisha and samurai districts and enjoyed the ninja temple. It’s a smaller city, so easy to walk everywhere.

Day trip to Takayama well worth doing. 2 hours each way on bus. Suzuki museum beautiful and very calming. Get the loop bus pass - makes it easier to get around and saves your feet for walking at the different locations.

Vibrant regional city with a fantastic cultural heritage to share. Great onsen nearby. And less than three hours from Tokyo by bullet train!
