“Convenient accomodation”
The location of the guesthouse was quiet but convenient for visiting the main attractions of the city. The host provided everything we could possibly need for our stay (toiletries, beverages, appliances, information about the area...) and it was easy to communicate with her via whatsapp.

“Samurai”
Absolutely perfect traditional house, loved to sleep in a fouton and the Japanese minimalist room style. In the heart of the Geisha tranquil neighborhood.

“5-star star at a local japanese house”
Noto-san’s guesthouse was a delight! I really enjoyed staying at a local japanese house, the futon was very comfortable and the place was super clean. Noto-san also was easily reachable via WhatsApp and was very nice.

“Brilliant local stay, immaculate, quiet and cosy”
Perfect location , with an immaculate simple room. Surprisingly very quiet. Kitchen had lots of tea and coffee for guests. Occasionally waited for the shower, but it’s all part of the slower pace here. Loved it Highly recommend minutes away Syamaron for dinner , delicious , cosy and so reasonable. And f bakery , round the corner makes amazing coffee , pastries and artisan breads. Thanks to Noto-San , such a kind and charming host.

Lovely place, in a nice and quiet location, but still near many restaurants, transit, etc. The room was small but it was all that we needed. Great selection of free coffee and tea :)

“A nice traditional stay in Kanazawa”
Guesthouse is very conveniently located, a short walk to the river and the biggest attractions of Kanazawa. The room was very simple, exactly as shown on the pictures, some little space to put the luggage in. The bathroom downstairs can seem insufficient, but actually it was not a problem. There's a cute common area and a kitchen with a great selection of matcha, japanese milk tea and coffee. I let myself to borrow an umbrella on a rainy evening.

“perfect stay! attention to detail - wow!”
the attention to detail is amazing.. down to complimentary tea/coffee, the bathroom has absolutely anything you could need and more, even the AC remote has little stickies with the translation (it was already on when we arrived so we'd be comfortable..), we were allowed to leave the luggage, etcetc. such a sweet and friendly owner, you can see she puts her heart into it and treats her guests exquisitely. location is also nice.
