Guest Reviews
- Alessandro (10/5): - Ospitalità eccezzionale Ottima abitazione ed esperienza molto positiva e autentica
- Shoji (10/5): Beautiful accommodation superb host - The accommodation is full of old Japanese house charm and character and nice decorations yet modern comfort facilities.easy access from Kanazawa station 10 minutes by taxi or you can walk take 30 minutes and walk distance to kenrok garden and castle and market and I have to mention about house owner!she is so helpful for everything we need she offers transportation to station ,gives us recommendations restaurants and places information and more. Definitely I recommend. Some of bed room is bit too bright in morning.
- Laureen (9/5): -
- Tomoko (10/5): -
- Vincent (10/5): Golden. - The host went above and beyond to accommodate us and giving recommendations. The property is a bit of a walk from the main tourist loop but you can experience more of the local areas.
- Lauri (10/5): Traditional experience - It was a traditional Japanese house - the whole house, not a room in a house. Easily room for 5-6 people. There were 2 of us.
Our host, Yumiko, was wonderfully attentive. She coordinated with us in advance, picked us up at the train station, and even dropped us off again at the end of our stay. She sent us a note the morning after our first night, just to check in.
- Mrs (8/5): -
- Lucia (9/5): Authentic and very comfortable Japanese home, ideal for guests travelling independently by car - The house is a true Japanese machya house in a quiet location, close to all the main attractions if one has a car. There are very good car parking facilities nearby and great restaurants too. The owner is very friendly and obliging, always available to provide advice and lend a hand. It would have been nice if there could have been a screen to make the entrance more private from the street, so that passerbys would not be able to peek inside while guests are in the premises.
- 小枝 (10/5): -
- Sarit (10/5): בית אותנטי מסורתי בנוחות מודרנית - מקום אותנטי, מטבח מאובזר עד הפרט הכי קטן, יומיקו-סאן המקסימה קיבלה אותנו, נתנה המלצות ויצאה מגדרה כדי שלא יחסר לנו כלום, הבית מאובזר כמו מוזיאון פתוח של בית אותנטי מרשים ויפה, בפעם הבאה שלנו בהחלט נחזור שוב היה מעולה ולא היה חסר כלום
- Julia (10/5): - We loved our stay in Kanazawa at Guest House Ui-ca. Yumiko-san was a lovely hostess, even picking up our luggage from the train station so we didnt have to carry anything. The accomodation is geat too with all its different rooms and the traditional Japanese bath. We would love to stay here again, if we have the chance to visit another time!

- Katherine (10/5): Wonderful place - This was a beautiful traditional Japanese house. We stayed one night and had a lovely experience. Yumiko the host was very friendly and helpful!

- Jose (10/5): Hemos sido tratados con una hospitalidad extraordinaria por la anfitriona Yumiko. Ha sido muy cuidadosa y amable, facili - El alojamiento está cuidado con mucha atención hacia los detalles. La decoración resulta elegante y estética, muy coherente con la propia casa.
- Stéphanie (10/5): Un séjour magique dans une vieille maison japonaise. - Magnifique vieille maison japonaise entretenue avec amour. Parfaite pour une famille. À 2 minutes d’un arrêt de bus, 15 minutes du centre-ville. Accueil formidable de Yumiko. N’hésitez pas de lui demander ses conseils en matière de restaurants. Elle connaît les meilleures tables de la ville. Grâce à elle, nous avons divinement bien mangés à Kanazawa.
- Alexander (10/5): Family trip to Japan - A traditional well kept Japanese house, beautifully furnished. Yumiko is very attentive to detail and does a great job in providing the best possible experience for her guests.
- Philippe (9/5): Authentic traditional house - The authenticity of the house, it is really back in the past.
- Anders (10/5): Traditional house in the temple district. Within walking distance of city centre. - Close to the temple district with many charming buildings (including this one).
Traditional house with modern amenities.
Very authentic japanese experience.
Yumiko was an excellent hostess – she even picked is up at the station! What a sweetheart! Everything was great.
- Filippo (10/5): Exceptional - The house is big, authentic Japanese style and in a very good position well connected to the main attractions. Yumiko is a great host, very responsives and full of attentions for her guests. A nice place I highly recommend
- Liz (9/5): Brilliant two night stay! - We loved our two night stay at Kanazawa. It was so fun to experience a traditional family home. My kids loved exploring all the rooms! It's a short 10 minute walk to town, with a few really yummy restaurants very close to home. The town centre of heaps of delicious food options. The house itself had lots of bedding, heaps of lovely towels, had the cutest little bathroom and the nicest host called Yumiko who couldn't have been more helpful. I would highly recommend for those families wanting to experience a more traditional Japanese homestay.
- Leah (10/5): Cozy traditional Japanese house - My group of four adults really enjoyed our time at Guest House Ui-ca. The house is adorable and we enjoyed experiencing a day in the life of traditional Japanese housing. Yumiko was a wonderful host. She responded quickly to messages and we knew she was nearby in case anything came up during our stay. We stayed in August and one of the bedrooms was very hot. The bedroom had an A/C unit, but it was placed far away from the beds and near a stairwell that let the cool air escape the room.
- Stephanie (10/5): Our stay in kanazawa was the best part of our trip to Japan. - Our hostess was lovely and extremely helpful. The house is charming and in a great location with lots of amenities. The internet was quite slow.
- Valgerdur (9/5): Beautiful house and extremely kind host! - Traditional house with lots of space and interesting ornaments. The area is quiet but not too far away from everything, very good value for money. The host is also lovely ! Felt like an authentic experience🙂
- Jeanne (10/5): Fabulous stay in an historic machiya , great location and very welcoming host. - A beautiful historic machiya, lovely furniture , very comfortable, Yumiko was such a wonderful and welcoming host and was there to greet us and even drive us to our restaurant the first evening even though she was staying elsewhere. We felt very privileged to be able to stay in a machiya . The property was perfect in every way.
- Cameron (10/5): Exceptional - Wanted to experience a machiya while visiting in Japan, and thought that Kanazawa would be the best place to do it. Ui-ca guesthouse exceeded my expectations—the house itself was very tidy, well-kept with updated fixtures, yet still retained all the charm of an older structure. Everything was beautifully decorated, and the house was so thoughtfully furnished—our family's stay was very comfortable. The host, too, was exceptionally kind and a wonderful communicator, offering to help us with our luggage (of which we had a lot) and even giving us a ride our first day out on her way home. Thank you so much for a great stay~~ next time I come to Kanazawa, would definitely love to stay here again!
- Gen (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the old fashioned Japanese house with kotatsu and bath. Great experience to stay in a traditional house. Wonderful host.
- Nami (10/5): Great experience. - The place was very clean and well presented old living in Japan.
Yumiko was very kind and amazing hospitality. All was good.
- Ashley (9/5): Superb -
