Amazing location

Stayed in August 2025

Some may think appliances are old-style (the lamps on the ceiling are switched on /off and light is adjusted using a small cord hanging from the lamp), but I think it gives the place a nice old fashioned flair.

It is ideally located in the beautiful geisha district, which is abound with traditional one and two-storey wooden houses, and not very far from the Omicho market and the Kanazawa castle, which makes it very convenient when you plan to walk only. The landlady is absolutely lovely and was kind enough to make do with my basic Japanese speaking skills. A charming old-fashioned little house. I was in a traditional tatami room (和室), called 梅 (plum tree), with a TV and air-conditioning. The windows are set with shoji (traditional paper screens), which gives the place a lovely atmosphere. I slept on a futon and kagefuton set, which was very comfortable, as the mat was quite thick and covered in a bed pad. A toothbrush set, a yukata (which serves as a traditional night wear), a towel, a tea cup, a matcha tea bag (there is an electric kettle in the room) and a bucket for your towel are also provided, and there are soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower room. Please note that the inn is closed at night (from midnight to six thirty, if I understood it correctly). Showers - one individual shower room for ladies, another one for men (I guess) are on the ground floor, and so is a communal dining room, where I think you can store whatever needs to be kept cold in the fridge. My room was upstairs, where many rooms were named after various Japanese flowers. There were also toilets for men and toilets for women, as well as a large area with wash basins, so that it’s easy to brush your teeth, set your hair (there is a hairdryer) or wash your face. They don’t provide food, but you can grab something nearby for breakfast and for dinner, I crossed the Asanogawa bridge for an early dinner at Sakai, which I strongly recommend.

I wasn´t use to the bed, so, the experience wasn´t all comfortable during the first night.

It is a lovely Japanese traditional house, the room is very clean and comfy. The location is exactly inside the old town which is one of hotest destinations of the city.

The guests were super friendly and helpful. They let us bring our bags before the check-in time and helped us make a phone call in Japanese. The location was excellent and the room very authentic.

In the description it says there’s breakfast and the reviews are raving about it, but there is no breakfast.

The room was really spacious and there was a yukata provided. We didn’t have a private bathroom but a private sink, which was nice. Everything was very clean and both the elderly couple and the other man were very friendly. We could reach many sights per foot, which was great.

The location is amazing. The guesthouse is about 2 minutes walking from Higashiyama district and another 2 minutes walking from the river promenade. If you like walking you can also walk to Kenrokuen (about 20 minutes). We didn't use the bus while being there. The guesthouse decoration is lovely. It feels like stepping into a museum! :D You can tell that the hosts really love their house and they want everything to be perfect :D Finally, the hosts are very nice and helpful!! Thank you so much!! Would love to come back again!! :D

very clean and homely

Window lacked a sun shade, so room got bright very early, interfering with sleep after 5 am in late May. Futon not as comfortable as other places I stayed, but sufficient. Breakfast not available, despite website stating it was an option.

A great value! Room quiet and larger than expected, and common facilities clean. Fridge and microwave oven in dining area. Location convenient for sightseeing, though a long walk from train station. Owners helpful when needed.

Nothing, but make sure you don't bring too big a car if you'd like to park there. The streets are super narrow.

It was a nice room with some nice details, made you feel very much at ease. Everything was very clean and it's around the corner from the old geisha district which is really cute. They also have parking

A friend and I shared a family room. Although it did not have a private bathroom, it was comfortable and spacious with a sink just outside the room. The family was very accommodating and friendly. The Higashi Chaya area, where the inn is located is a great place to stay.

The staff spoke very little English and did not accept card payments. But these are two very common problems throughout Japan.

Very comfortable facility, very helpful and nice staff (two nice grandparents). Very clean rooms, especially the bathrooms. Excellent area, not very central but still in a great location. Room equipped with every comfort, cleaned every morning and you always found tea.

Located very close to destinations to be seen but far enough that it is quiet when you want it. Everything was clean and the hosts were fantastic. Close to Cafe Kuroneko.
