She even helped us book a reservation at a wonderful sushi restaurant. Great location for visiting all areas of kanazawa on foot! ##### Rebecca ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 24 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This traditional home was a real treat. The garden was magical on a rainy morning. The host was lovely and very helpful. This is the property I will remember from our trip to Japan. The home is large enough for families (we were five adults). Steep stairs mean the young or elderly should sleep in the tatami room on the main floor. ##### Barbara Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 31 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication A truly unique experience. Our gracious hostess, Ms. Fujita, welcomed us with freshly prepared matcha and mochi. The machiya is spacious, spotless, and has very comfortable beds and futons. There are small handwritten cards throughout the house detailing historical information and conservation efforts. The washer/dryer combo works great. The stairs require some agility. The small garden is magical in the rain. It’s a very short walk to either the Omicho market (best seafood!) or the Kanazawa Castle. The taxi ride to and from the station is about ¥1200 (less than $10). Be sure to have the address in Japanese ready to show the cab driver. All in all, we highly recommend this machiya. ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### 良かった！ とてもいいお宿でした！ 女将さんの細かい心遣いがとても嬉しかったです。 是非また伺いたいです！ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Hiuse located ideally close to all attractions.
