Zaimoku-an

古民家風のお部屋でとても快適に過ごせました チェックインは15時からでしたが、宿泊先の方から準備が出来ましたのでいつでもお入りくださいと連絡をいただきました。13時すぎには入る事ができ真夏の旅行ですので高齢の両親も子供達も涼しい部屋でゆっくりする事ができ大変助かりました。 朝は真横にあるパン屋さんで朝食を買い、(朝6時半から空いている)コーヒー豆もありましたので美味しい朝食をいただく事もできました。 徒歩4分ほど歩くとファミーマート、スギ薬局 メイン観光地の兼六園、金沢城まで徒歩で10分程度 ひがし茶屋街は車で3分でした とてもいい金沢旅行になりました。こちらに宿泊して良かったです。

Una dimora autentica e funzionale piena di fascino Tradizione e comfort ottima posizione

Non ci sono spazi per appender gli abiti

Casa meravigliosa e piena di fascino

Il proprietario ci ha prelevati direttamente dalla stazione di Kanazawa gratuitamente, ambiente molto caratteristico, tutti i servizi di cui si necessita per un soggiorno giapponese.

Possibilità di fare colazione in struttura.

This was a nicely renovated place that was close walking distance to many of Kanazawa’s main attractions, such as the garden, the historical tea district, and the Omicho market. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was large and perfect for eating meals in. We appreciated the outdoor terrace for having evening drinks. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for people who want a quiet place to stay. The host was helpful and provided a free pick up from the train station.

Our only issue was the lack of hooks to hang towels in the bathroom. Also, a larger clothes drying rack would have been appreciated for clothes that cannot be machine dried.

The host greeted us was very friendly. We had everything we needed. Location was excellent. We were close to Gion district and to the food market. Extremely clean and comfortable. Loved the Japanese style.

El trato de Chimio fue excepcional, muy flexible y accesible. La localización, la tranquilidad y lo bonita que es la casa.

La limpieza podría estar mejor y podría tener algún producto básico para cocinar.

附近有便利商店及藥粧店，隔壁還是麵包店，屋主很nice，還提供浴衣及泡澡球。

和モダンに改装されていて落ち着く空間でした 大人5人で利用しましたが広すぎず狭すぎず丁度良い間取りでした 住宅街にあり道路、駐車場は狭いですが切返しすればアルファードも問題なく敷地内に駐車できました 玄関引戸はプッシュダイヤル式でカギやカードキーの煩わしさ無くオートロックなのが雨降りでも助かりました ロケーションは住宅街なので仕方ありませんが、箱庭に池とメダカが居て目隠しの塀があるのでテラスで寛げました、同行者はシャボン玉を楽しんでいました 立地は兼六園とひがし茶屋街の中間に位置しており、どちらも歩いて10分程と最高です、食後にどちらもライトアップを見に行くのに丁度良い距離です ひがし茶屋街方面には落ち着いたお店が沢山あり、そちらでふらりと食事するのも良いと思います とにかくライトアップが風情があり目の保養になりました 台所用品は必要充分、お風呂も綺麗です なによりコーヒー豆が置いてあり、美味し過ぎて思わず飲み過ぎてしまいました…すみません。。 ちょっと充実した3日間を過ごさせて頂き、お隣のパンケーキのお店を覗くことが出来ず心残りとなってしまいました、もう金沢には15回以上泊まりで出掛けているのに新たな発見が出来たのは、このお宿のおかげです 加賀百万石祭りも5、6回来ていて同行者に見せるための今回の旅行でしたがまた来たくなるお宿となりました ホストの方も返信早く何不自由なく過ごすことができました

強いてあげれば、パスタを茹でるもう少し深目の鍋があれば良かったです スペース的に厳しいかと思いますがリビングにソファーが欲しいところです

The location was around every major attraction. Everything was in walking distance. The host was welcoming and helped by picking us up and taking us from the train station. He made things easy by labeling maps and pictures of the devices with English translations. I loved the garden to relax at during the stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Kanazawa.

Immense maison rénovée dans le style japonais avec un très joli jardin traditionnel. Tout était propre et accueillant. Quartier calme à quelques minutes du château.

Pas de solution de stockage des bagages en attendant de reprendre le train en fin de journée.

Awesome location- if you are walkers you will not need the tourist bus pass from here. Immaculate and adorable, the garden is charming. Great communication with the host. Kitchen has all you need. Highly recommend!

Liked everything.

Amazing location and atmosphere. The apartment/townhouse is really cute and clean. The amenities were great as well. The bakery next door was also delicious. I highly recommend the experience!!

It is the real authentic Japanese experience. So no real chairs except for the outdoor chairs and you on the floor on a futon. We liked the experience but if you want more western comforts you might want to search elsewhere.

E’ stato bellissimo alloggiare in una vera casa in stile giapponese! La persona che ci ha accolto e’ stata gentilissima e ci ha fornito tante informazioni su come a trascorrere la giornata a Kanazawa

La prise en charge a la gare par notre hote et plein de bonnes recommandations avant une présentation très précise de son établissement.

Loved the location, style and space including beautiful little terrace and garden outside

I liked everything

As advertised. Great location. Wonderful Japanese style house -futons and floor sitting for dining. Very nice pocket sized yard. Owners very accommodating.

This is a stunning house, exactly like the photos. It's close to the castle and park. The house was very clean and comfortable. The collection of dishes is amazing. I highly recommend it.

Very good

Tutto

Niente

The house had a lovely feel. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was very warm and insulated from the winter cold.

Some more comfortable seating would be good.

Comfortable property, really well equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Great location to explore. Exceptional service from manager of the property who was very helpful. Loved the traditional Japanese experience which was more spacious than a hotel and perfect for a family.

Couldn’t make heating work in main living area.

La casa es preciosa, súper cómoda y tiene todos los amenities que necesitás. Es tan linda que realmente invita a quedarse y disfrutarla. La ciudad en sí es muy agradable, pero volver a un lugar así —tan tradicional y cuidado— hace toda la diferencia. Algo que valoré muchísimo fue la iluminación: está todo muy bien pensado, desde la limpieza hasta los pequeños detalles. Tiene un jardincito precioso y se nota que todo está súper bien mantenido. Además, cuenta con lavarropas, y nos dejaron unas sales de baño riquísimas para descansar (las usamos todas 😌), un detalle hermoso que suma mucho. Es un lugar ideal para quedarse, disfrutarlo y sacarse mil fotos: te sentís dentro de una versión tradicional de la ciudad. Sin dudas lo recomiendo y, si vuelvo alguna vez, repetiría este hospedaje sin pensarlo.

It was. Guest house so no breakfast was served but there was a very nice bakery next door. Their pastries were delicious .

After a long day of touring the city - it would’ve been nice to have a couch to sit instead of the floor.

By far the best accommodation of our trip. A really beautiful place to call home in Kanazawa. The little details made all the difference. We loved the assortment of traditional plates and bowls. Great walking distance to the Castle and Kenrokuen Garden with the local loop bus close by too. Michio is a very friendly host too!

We couldn't get the aircon downstairs to work for us, but the gas heater did the job just fine. My mistake, I thought it was a 3 bedroom place, but we managed!

Nous avons été accueillis à notre arrivée de façon très professionnelle Le Guest House est très bien agencé ét parfaitement équipé avec beaucoup de goût. Il est totalement fonctionnel et très cosy

Rien en particulier si ce n’est qu’il n’est pas évident de trouver magasins et restaurants à Kanazawa de façon générale et dans ce quartier en particulier mais le Guest House est à recommander pour son rapport qualité prix excellent

We were picked up at the the train station by the host. He gave us a tour while explaining the features of the home. We found an amazing small riverside restaurant (Huni) just a 10 minute walk away. Kenrokuen Garden is a 10 minute walk and should really not be missed (I'm not even a garden person). The location of the home lends itself wonderfully to exploring on foot. If you overdo it, taxis are plentiful and cheap.

N/A

Toda la casa era perfecta, y comoda. El jardin es precioso y tiene todo lo que nesecitas para disfrutar de la casa. Y la ubicacion esta muy bien puedes ir andando a cualquier punto turistico de la ciudad

Very easy to access structure, the owner gave as all the information to reach and enter the home. The house is gorgeous, it has all the amenities and in a good position.

Traditional Japanese house in good location. Charming and clean, with lovely garden sitting area. Host was easy to communicate with over WhatsApp. There was a bakery next door, which would have been perfect for breakfast, but unfortunately was not open on the days we were there. The house was spacious, with laundry —exactly what we needed in the middle of our 2 week trip. Easy to call a taxi or Uber from the house, and walking distance from many sites, but not too many restaurants.

We enjoyed the traditional Japanese experience but westerners should be aware there are no sofas or chairs. The living room has a low dining table with floor mats and the beds are all futons, so it might be challenging for people with knee problems. No bathroom on the second floor.

Everything, the place is a dream come thru. Location, decor, little touches, Michio the host. If we ever in Kanazawa in the future we would love to stay again.

This place was even more lovely than the photos. It was a tidy, beautiful space with plenty of room. I would absolutely stay here again. There's a little bakery right next door that opens at 6:30 AM, perfect for breakfast!

Wonderful little house in an impeccable location, the host was extremely kind and accommodating with us.

Being able to leave luggage after checkout would have been nice, but clearly would have been difficult to implement.

The house was beautiful, modern but traditional and loved staying there. A very cute little bakery next door too!

It's a little way from the station, but only 10 mins by taxi or 20 mins on the bus

The place is beautiful. The Japanese garden gives a wonder touch. The host Michio was super. He picked us from the train station. Location is also very good.

The fact that we stayed only one night. Seriously. This is a great place to stay.

Nos gustó mucho la casa. Es una experiencia muy recomendable.

El alojamiento es precioso. Muy cómodo, limpio y espacioso. La cocina estaba muy bien equipada, y cada detalle cuidado y elegido con mimo.

This is a real Japanese house with futon beds, with all the luxury and space you need. Parking spot close to the house.

Appartamento ben tenuto e in un'ottima posizione, ideale per scoprire Kanazawa a piedi (vicino a tutti i punti di interesse). Il proprietario molto gentile, è venuto in stazione a prenderci per accompagnarci all'appartamento e ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni necessarie per visitare il posto. Super consigliato! Ps: a due passi c'è un piccolo forno, ideale per la colazione in loco.

Nulla da segnalare :)

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Haus, sehr gemütlich. Toller kleiner Garten zum draußen sitzen.

Logement exceptionnel. Avec beaucoup de style et de charme. Très originale. Les pièces sont très bien agencées, nous avons pu mettre les enfants dans les chambres à l'étage où ils étaient très bien installées, avec même un espace jeu vidéo. Notre hôte a pris la peine de venir nous chercher avec les valises à la gare et ensuite nous présenter la maison. Parfait

The house is very conveniently located. All major sight seeing points are within walking distance. The house itself is very nicely decorated, clean, spacious, with a beautiful balcony and a well equipped kitchen. Highly recommend.

No

Was a beautiful Japanese house. Been the accommodation highlight of the trip. Pick-up service was very highly appreciated with the owner giving useful tips. Garden pond is very nice. Would love to come back.

Nothing.

A welcome change to get a personal check in rather than the usual ‘here’s a code’. Michio does an excellent check in and pick up from station. Loved the accommodation and location. Very comfortable. Little backyard yard with small pond close to sites to visit. Thanks Michio. 👍

Zaimoku-an is exceptional! Perfect location to visit the must see sites of Kanazawa. Kenroku-en is virtually on your back doorstep. Bus stop nearby to get to and from the station. JR bus so you can use your suica card. Zaimoku-an is situated in a quite neighbourhood but close enough to walk to Oriental brewery for good beer and pizza or Kappa udon donsuki for delicious handmade udon. The house is beautiful with everything you need. A lovely deck to sit and relax outside and laundry facilities which we were grateful for. Comfy futons and pillows! Staff very friendly and accommodating.

There was nothing, I highly recommend Zaimoku-an 😁

Amazing experience in a traditional, exceptionally equipped Japanese house

Very minor point, there were plug adaptors not working

Gorgeous guest house with everything you could need for your stay. Nicely positioned close to key tourist spots, while still tucked away enough to feel like authentic. Michio was a great host, picking us up from the station, pointing out key places along the way and making sure we settled into the house nicely. Our only complaint was a faint smell from the toilet, but it really didn’t detract much from the overwhelmingly positive experience!

Location, quiet, great facilities. Easy to walk to all the sights.. easy 30 minute walk along river to train station. Many restaurants nearby. Great little corner store within 50m. Bakery next door! Coffee beans and grinder provided. Thank you Michio for pick up from station on arrival.

All good.

Someone pick us up at jr stadium and explained at the house about how to use the property

We were instructed how difficult to make a reservation for taxi. So we tried to use bus to train station. But we were waiting at a wrong bus stop twice. No buses showed up so started walking with luggage but fortunately a taxi came and caught a reserved train at Kanazawa station.

Perfect location, lovely house, lovely little garden, washing machine and dryer excellent.... Thank you Michio for the station pick up and the arrival explanations. Great place to stay at

None

Location, facilities and Michio was a great contact. We were picked up from the station which was a great touch.

Lovely hosts, beautiful property in a great location, and lots of conveniences in the house. Would recommend for a small group who wants to be able to walk to Kenrokuen, the castle, fish market, and other sights.

It was great!

This charming house was one of our best experiences in Japan. The very nice host Mr.Michio Shibano came to pick us up and explained the house rules. He gave us useful tips and advice for our sight seeing. Highly recommend a say here and also experience Kanazawa a beautiful city so diff from tokyo and kyoto.

Small suggestion. Our senior parents found it hard to do everything on the floor. If they could have ledges to keep suitcases it would be helpful. As they cant bend down frequently. Sleeping on the floor was fine for a night for them.

The owner provided a complimentary pick-up at Kanazawa Station for my family of 6 pax with 7 luggages. The location was within 5 mins walk to a convenient family mart, within 10-15 walk to the Castle, Kenrɓokuen Garden and Higashi Chaya District. Oh, and we all loved the heated floors, especially for the icy weather. Yakuta was provided too. There's PlayStation too for the kids,

Nothing to not like.

During our stay with a group of four adults, we loved the size of the apartment. The bedrooms were spacious and the batchroom & kitchen were well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the delicious coffee and the backery that is just next door. The location of the apartment was ideal, close to popular sightseeing spots and nearby bus stations. The check-in process was hassle-free and the host extremely friendly. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable stay.

Everything about this stay was simply amazing. Michio picked us up directly from the station and took us to the house. The house itself was truly beautiful, our best stay in Japan.

We liked everything

Perfect japanese townhouse to stay at when you want more space and if you’re travelling by car! This place has everything you need, super convenient location and the host was great!

Nothing

Traditional but with all modern comforts Great host at check-in with free pickup from the station upon arrival

NA

The big spacious living room is very nice.

Very nice accommodation in a quiet neighbourhood but walking distance to all you want to see in Kanazawa. Very much appreciated the pick up from the station by the host at arrival.

-

The host met us at the train station and drove us to the home. He then explained all the house amenities which was incredibly helpful. The house was even bigger then we expected, was so comfortable for our family of 5 (3 large teenagers), and everything was perfect. There was even fresh coffee beans for freshly brewed coffee, everything was walking distance, the castle and Gardens were 5min away, the old district only 10min. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful traditional-style house. Very close to castle, parks, and historic district.

Quiet and well located. Beautifully presented and made to feel very welcome. We were collected from the train station and introduced to the property and local area of interest.

The kitchen is well equipped but it’s difficult for elderly as they are not used to sit in the floor/tatami. They can’t stand up really after they sit down.

There is only one bathroom and all beds are tatami style. A lot of the facilities are worn out. One of the PS2 joystick is spoiled and the games are outdated. The washing machine and dryer can’t manage heavy loads (5 sets of pj) and is noisy during operation (worried that we will disturb others). It is located in front of a one way road that we can’t drive into which make loading and unloading of luggage challenging. The stairs up and down to the game room and other bedroom is too narrow for any luggage.

Michio is a great host and I can highly recommend this Ryokan and it's super central located as well!
