The accommodation had everything you needed. Within walking distance of the main station. Everything was clean and tidy. Really nice and helpful host. We had a nice chat with him at dinner over a glass of wine. The accommodation has beautiful common areas. Possibility of storing luggage before check-in.

A wonderful stay here with our family of 3 including miss 6. Would highly recommend for location cleanliness and a lovel

We had a lovely welcome from our host and some great recommendations for things to do in Kanazawa. We had the biggest room, a lovely Japanese style room with plenty of space for our family of 3, clean and comfortable. The shared kitchen space was pleasant and our host even shared some special drip coffee with us and put up with our bad Japanese while we asked for tips about local culture. Location is excellent only a 5 minute walk from the station and close to many great eateries and coffee shops.

Great place to stay in Kanazawa

The location is great, a 7-minute walk from the station. There are several restaurants with good options on the street above the guesthouse, as well as the shopping mall next to Kanazawa Station. Mr. Makoto is very polite and always willing to help. The house is extremely clean and organized, which is very important. The room has air conditioning, which is very helpful in the heat. I recommend it to anyone looking for good accommodation on a budget.

Quiet location, clean house, welcoming atmosphere. A place for travelers by a traveler. It's a short walk from the station and all the important spots are within walking distance. Found this place and was curious about the host which so many reviews talk about.  Makoto san hosts guest in this house for 16 years now. His japanese respectful distant etiquette can make room for warm extensive travel talks.  The house is orderly clean and it feels like you're visiting a friend's home where you can meet other travelers. If that's what you're looking for you found the place! I'll stay again if ever back to Kanazawa. All the best for you Makoto san!

The hospitality of Makoto-san is something out of the ordinary. He even dropped us off at the station since it was raining. He waited for us in his car with our bags already loaded when we arrived to collect our luggage which we had stored at his place after checkout. Thank you so much Makoto-san.

Lovely guesthouse with a wonderful host

This lovely guesthouse is run by a really kind owner, Makoto, a traveler by heart. He is a wonderful host. When I arrived, he instantly gave me an introduction to his city. I also gave him recommendations about my city, Amsterdam :) The guesthouse has all the amenities needed for a good stay, the Japanese style room is nice, the communal place is also pleasant. Near Kanazawa Station and a 20 minute walk to the beautiful old neighborhood of Higashiyama. Great value, make sure to book a room at this nice guesthouse and meet wonderful Makoto.
