暁の宿 縁 2階 兼六園の近く

The location is within 20-30 minutes walking distance of the main attractions of Kanazawa. KOMA board game cafe a short walk down the road run by an American is well worth visiting for some great fun. Parking for the apartment is great despite being round the back of the apartment you can squeeze down the side of the building to avoid a longer walk round.

The accommodation backs onto a road which can create disturbances if you are a light sleeper as the large opaque living room window backs onto it and isn’t soundproofed. The cooking equipment and supplied crockery and cutlery is a little limited for Westerners. Don’t try and drive to the front of the property, the roads are very narrow, just park your car at the back, entrance from the main road. The 200JPY city tax per person per night was a surprise, would have been better if it had been incorporated into the final price.

Everything

Nothing

The place is clean, fully functional, and has top amenities. The washing machine is modern and big, and has an integrated automatic detergent dispenser. There is an integrated extendable clothes line on the wall. The WiFi works, the air conditioning is powerful but silent, all in all a truly awesome place to stay in Kanazawa, off the beaten path in a local area. The responses of the kind host were fast and polite (in Japanese). The Onsen right across the street has a beautiful 露天風呂 (outdoor bath) for just 500¥, truly a bang for the buck.

The blankets were a little thin for us, and the place is not that spacious if you‘re three adults like us. But its certainly enough for a comfortable stay.

Washing machine had detergent included in automatic dispenser. There were lines for drying clothes available. Space was as expected.

Designated parking was not available because another car was parked there, and host was not responsive. Parking was behind the building, but without access to the front - requiring several blocks of walking to reach the entrance. Host is absentee (WhatsApp is a number in Malaysia). Getting to the building requires navigating a very small street ( had to have a passenger get out to assist the driver with making sure the car would fit around the corners).
