Tokyu Stay Kanazawa

10/10 Excellent

"The absolute best stay of my entire trip! Pros:Incredible Room & Amenities: The room layout is brilliantly designed and very spacious. I could fully open my large luggage and still have plenty of room to move around. Luxury Bathroom Perks: I was thrilled to find they provide a premium ReFa hair dryer, ReFa shower head, and high-quality shampoo and soap! Hiker's Dream: Having an in-room microwave and a washer/dryer was a total game-changer after my hiking trips. They also rent out kitchen equipment, which was incredibly handy for cutting fresh fruits. Unbeatable Location: Fantastic spot—very close to both Kanazawa Castle and Omicho Market.Amazing Value: Surprisingly, the room rates here were the lowest compared to my stays in Takayama and Nagoya. Cons:Slight Noise Issue: The only downside was that the soundproofing wasn't very good. Even up on level 8, I could still hear the street vehicles outside. Despite the minor noise, it's still an incredible value. Highly, highly recommend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

When is the best time to go to Kanazawa?

The best time to visit Kanazawa is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) for pleasant weather and beautiful scenery.Spring offers mild temperatures, superb for exploring the city's gardens and historic districts. The cherry blossoms, typically blooming in early April, are a major draw, especially in Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan's most celebrated landscape gardens. This season is ideal for couples who enjoy romantic strolls amidst natural beauty and photography.Autumn in Kanazawa is equally appealing, with comfortable temperatures and stunning autumn foliage, particularly from late October to mid-November. Kenrokuen Garden and the surrounding hills transform into a palette of reds, oranges, and yellows. This period is also excellent for couples and solo travellers interested in cultural exploration, as the weather is agreeable for visiting museums and the samurai and geisha districts.While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid, and winter (December to February) brings cold temperatures and often heavy snowfall, these seasons also have their unique appeal for those who prefer fewer crowds or wish to experience Kanazawa's winter wonderland.
