Pension familiale (un peu viellote). Famille extrêmement gentille. Chambre très authentique et propre avec tatamis à l'étage. Pas de rideau aux fenêtres donc réveil à 4h30 du matin avec lever du soleil ☀️ (nous sommes fin Juin 😁) Un endroit pour manger en bas (sans évier, ce n'est pas un cuisine). Idéalement situé dans le quartier des Geisha. Calme absolu.

This minshuku is very well located in Higashi Chaya district, very comfortable and the owners are super welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay there and it is a great value-for-money option to stay in Kanazawa.

We loved stay in a traditional house, was very clean and comfortable. The position is perfect for visiting the area during the day but also for a chill night walk around the suburbs. Last but not least the kindness of the host
