SOKI KANAZAWA

Facilities: This is a relatively new hotel with a minimalist style, and it even has a public bath, which is so relaxing after a day of exploring. Cleanliness: It's clean and tidy. Environment: It's conveniently located right across from Omicho Market, and you can walk to all the major attractions and the train station. Service: The staff are warm and attentive; they quickly resolved a minor issue I had, and there's complimentary coffee in the lobby.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from Kanazawa Station, about 15 minutes. It's right next to Omicho Market, just across the street, making it super convenient for seafood. You can easily walk to Oyama Shrine, Kanazawa Castle, and Kenrokuen Garden from here. They have a public bath, and after a soak, you can enjoy complimentary Meiji coffee and a fermented rice drink. The lobby has a large map highlighting nearby restaurants and more. The yakitori and ramen places behind the hotel are both excellent.

The hotel's design is quite unique, and the rooms are clean and spacious. It also features a small hot spring bath and complimentary drink sachets, giving it a very relaxing vibe. The location is convenient too, just across the road from Omicho Market.

It's fine to stay with children under 12, and there's no extra charge. Some hotels in Japan are very lenient about this, while others are strict, so it's something to be aware of. The hotel has a Muji-style design and a public bath. Aside from the women at the front desk, you mostly use your key card to access the elevators, which is also good. The location is excellent, right across from the seafood market. Taxis aren't expensive either, about 1300 yen to the station.
