Kanazawa Machiya Kenroku

Our host was so generous and shared his family history and his family home. Happy to help with restaurant and site seeing recommendations. The accommodation was spacious, comfortable and clean. It had everything one could need or want. Location to transport was perfect. We loved our stay in Kanazawa and want to come back.

This was our favourite accommodation of the whole trip! Walking through the front door of the unassuming facade you are truly transported to a different time and culture. Hitty was a wonderful host and we felt so honoured to be trusted with his family's treasures and loved the stories and history that he took the time to tell us. Hitty was very helpful in recommending places to eat and things to do, and his wife had created the most beautiful ikebana for us. The location was great with easy access to the train station, restaurants and the all important konbini.

The house is much bigger on the inside - lots of beauty and interesting details to discover. Wonderful and helpful host. Beaucoup de cachet, plein de petits détails a découvrir dans la maison. Many thanks!

An amazing place to stay. We loved the history behind the place and loved that Hitty san took the time to share with us his family history. The accomodation was in a perfect location and was comfortable for four adults. Would highly recommend.

Everything was great, 5 minute walk from the station, lots of restaurants nearby, and Mr. Hitty was the beat host I’ve ever had. He left us with some gifts and awesome recommendations.

N/A

The house is great and full of history, nice location 5 minutes from the station and within walking distance of the highlights of Kanazawa. Hitty was an amazing host, he left us plenty of helpful information on the city and recommendations for food and things to see. Can't recommend a stay here enough, the house was really clean and well kept.

We we're blown away by the effort and kindness shown by our Host, who welcomed us with gifts and a little tour through the House and History of his ancestor. He gave us recommendations for Restaurants and even booked us a dinner reservation. The House is a perfect Mix of all the technical Equipment you expect from Japan with a deep root in the History you can See/feel in every corner of the House.

The house had a story, it was a Samurai house! The host told us lots about it and he was very kind. He also send us recommendations for where to eat and where we can go for Sightseeing. He also gave us some presents which was so nice we also returned a gift. We had his number so we could always send him a message and he was very helpful to us. We could also try on a yukata, we really liked that.

Because it was an old house, the floor board was a little creaky, but it wasn't that bad tbh

My family loved everything about this property especially the character of the house and the hospitality of the owner Hitty. Easy walking distance to the Kanazawa station. The warm welcome, interesting history of the samurai house and complementary sweets and sake were much appreciated. The extra effort in providing a cot, made up with linen and small pillow was so thoughtful. We highly recommend this property.

Unique experience in an authentic traditional house steeped in history. Kids loved discovering all the treasures from the samouraï who lived there. Super host!

Nothing, we loved it.
