This was one of the best accommodation experiences we have had in Japan. Beautiful building and amazing rooms, very comfortable and beautiful decor with lovely little tatami area for tea. The bathroom and laundry was excellent, the clothes drying facility in the bathroom was ingenious, dried clothes overnight ready for the next day (very handy given how much it rains in Kanazawa!). Location was lovely next to the river, short walk into central Kanazawa and not far from Higashichaya. Masa san was the ultimate host, so kind, accommodating and gracious. He took pains to make sure we knew where to go, what the weather would be like (Kanazawa has a saying - you can forget your bento, but don't forget your umbrella!), helped us with Yamato luggage transfers, just a really lovely person.

Nothing to improve.

We had a very pleasant stay here. Masa, the owner, was a wonderful host - very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The bedroom was fairly spacious and beds were very comfortable. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were provided. Bathroom was, large, clean and had a bath and a shower. The washing machine was a bonus. And clothes can be dried in the bathroom which has a built in laundry drying facility. You have a choice of comfortable Japanese robes to wear when you check in. Air conditioning and heating are provided. Location is great and very quiet. The Shinkansen train station is a comfortable 10-15 minutes walk away. Omichi market is about the same distance away. Another 10 minutes walk takes you to the castle grounds.

The overall design and focus on details by the owner evokes the essence of Japan with all of his thoughtful choices. Masa was very helpful and responsive to our needs and any communication with him. The location was very good, convenient to everything we needed, and it was super quiet at night.. perfect for a restful sleep. This place has a lot of state-of-the-art technology and the best user guide I've ever seen, yet it retains a thoroughly Japanese sensibilty that we really enjoyed. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Kanazawa.

We would like to have had a light in the alcove where the hanging system for clothes is located.

We had an incredible stay thanks to our warm and welcoming host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their attention to detail were truly impressive. The room was beautifully decorated and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this place!

We were really happy with everything. To be honest, there wasn't anything that stood out as something we didn't like. So yeah, no real negatives here.

Hanaakari is located near the river, in an incredibly quiet part of Kanazawa, away from the busy station. Yet it is still easy walking distance to the trains, buses, markets and sights. We were so warmly welcomed by our very kind and generous host. He took time to explain everything about our room, which was so beautifully presented. We loved the traditional feeling the room had, the futon bed so very comfortable and we had plenty of room.

The property was very well maintained, it looked new. The spacious room featured laundry facilities, a bath, and a tatami room. The owner was very accommodating and very nice. If you want quiet and a place to get away, this is the place.

If you want to be near the popular tourist sites, this is a little further away, but only a 10min walk to the Kanazawa Station.

This hotel was the best thing to happened here. Modern and traditionnal at the same time, you wont believe your eyes what you got for such a price. The owner is really nice and can help you with recommendation. 10 min walk from station, good restaurant on the way, plenty of Coffee shop, near touristic area (all can be done by foot)

A lot of care went into designing this room. I almost wish I wasn't out exploring so much so that I could have stayed back to enjoy it! Very peaceful atmosphere. Super friendly owner. The separated tea area made it feel like a modern ryokan. There's a pretty fancy bath and shower setup which was nice to use after a long day of walking. Not too far from most sights in the city. I think it was around 15 minutes from the central train station and maybe 20-30 to museums and shopping areas.

Mrs Masa was amazing, very polite and helpful. The room is perfect and everything new. Very spacious, clean, and Japanese atmosphere mixed with high technology all around the room. A separate tea location in the room for a Japanese tea moment. Extremely recommended.

The location is amazing but not so close to the public transportation.

The hotel is small and the service from the owner was fantastic. The traditional Kanazawa elements are really beautiful. Kanazawa is such a walkable city and the hotel location was an easy walk to the main sights. The owner gave us some beautiful gifts for staying with them. We can't wait to come back to Kanazawa and stay again.
