“An amazing experience”

This was one of the highlights of our stay in Japan. The house has everything that is needed for a comfortable stay and located in the tea house district.

The house was stunning. Very clean and stylish.

“An authentic slice of Kanazawa”

Hard to fault such a well kept and fully featured historical building. We had a great stay for two nights and would love to return some day.

“Perfect family stay in beautiful Kanazawa”

Authentic, homely and comfortable with everything you could ever need. Super helpful and communicative staff. Helped with luggage forwarding.

“Fantastic”

Authentic Japanese experience in an amazing location. Very much recommended. Kids loved it. Walking to all the places you want to go. Cool little bar two doors up. Get the Japanese menu if you can read it though.

“Once in a lifetime stay”

Staying in a historical and unique building like this felt like an absolute privilege. The location is very good and everything has been provided. Recommend getting up early and exploring the surrounding areas while the streets are empty.

“Divine”

Marvellous and beautiful

“A very special machiya in a beautiful, historic and friendly area of Kanazawa”

A once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in a beautiful machiya. A gracious host met us on arrival. Check in was very easy. We spent three wonderful days in Kanazawa. Don't hesitate to book this accommodation if you have the good fortune to visit Kanazawa. You will be close to all the wonderful sites of Kanazawa. We were sad to leave.

“A stay that will stay in your memories.”

This was the most amazing property we stayed in Japan. The history and the immersive stay was so nice and relaxing.

“Traditional home in Japan to get the true experience.”

Traditional geisha / tea house. A great size to Japan too. This accomodation blew us away. It was so traditional but had all the bits we needed. Is a great location. Kitchen was small but had everything one could need. Would have loved to stay longer here. Highly recommend if you are after a traditional experience. Our family of 5 fit comfortably and I have two teenagers and an 11 year old.

“A must stay in Kanazawa!!”

Could not fault this property. It’s absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. In a beautiful and quiet location, comfortable bed, gorgeous home and garden. Great kitchen facilities and bathroom. Staff were great and helpful.

“Incredible stay in beautiful traditional Machiya”

Wow wow wow!!! It was so amazing. Such an incredible time staying in the house, it has so many rooms and so well maintained in a perfect area. Would 100% recommend and perfect location!

“The property gave us the chance to experience a Japanese tea house in old part of Kanazawa.”

The property gave me an opportunity to stay in a traditional tea house, in old Kanazawa.

“Private Japanese Villa in a historic neighbourhood”

“Best location, best Machiya ever seen!”

Authentic!

“Truly magical!”

This Machiya was more beautiful than the photos. The best part about staying here was that you could feel the vibe of its past, and imagine yourself living in the Edo period. The house is quite large with plenty of room to spread out. Every room had views of the beautiful inner garden, which provided me with much pleasure. All of the sliding doors fully open so you can experience the inside/outside nature of Japanese living. The host was available and helpful, the neighborhood quaint and perfectly located. If you want an authentic, and comfortable abode this is the place—truly magical!

“Unforhettable”

Unique experience to leave in a Jose like locals do. Everything very well organize d and clean

“A beautiful traditional house”

It is a great experience to be able to stay in a traditional house. This one has been so carefully curated and made comfortable for travellers. Everything that you need is clearly labelled with instructions. The location is great in a traditional Chaya and across the bridge is the more touristy, HigashiChaya.it is a residential area and so people can be quite noisy outside. The property is managed and they were kind enough to forward a charger we left behind. They also provided a thorough introduction to the house on our arrival

“Beautiful traditional house impeccably appointed.”

This house has to be the most beautiful place I have ever stayed in. A timber geisha house in a small alley lined with similar houses, painted a dusky red. Inside the impeccable tatami rooms flowed into each other, over two floors, all opening on the internal miniature garden. The house is perfectly equipped with a well-appointed kitchen, plenty of tableware and very comfortable beds: there was a western style queen bed and Japanese futon beds, all of which were superbly comfortable. Everyone got a wonderful night’s sleep. The house has so many beautiful details, it has clearly been restored with great taste and expertise and a loving eye. An absolute must if you come to Kanazawa. Also the location is perfect to explore the old town. I was very sad we could only stay one day.

“beautiful house in historic home and location”

historic old Minka in a quiet and historic area with geishas. good comfortable bed and shower.
