閑静な住宅街の中にあり静か
"部屋がとても広かった。 閑静な住宅街で静かだった。 Wi-Fi完備してたのでインターネット接続ができた。 (19時以降の時間帯は少し遅かった) トイレと浴槽が分かれていて洗い場が広かった。 キッチンが付いていて食器・器具が揃っていた(電子レンジあり)ので簡単な調理であれば出来そう。 エアコンの前の天井から手作りでバーが吊られていたので、洋服など乾かすのに良かった。 (見方によってはチープに感じる人が居るかもしれない) 上の階の排水時の音が回りが静かな分、気になった。 冷蔵庫の製氷室の扉が壊れていて、冷蔵室内に置かれていた。 ドアポケットのバーの片側が壊れていてペットボトルを入れたまま扉を閉じたら中に倒れてバーが外れた。 ..."

Kanazawa is beautiful - a mini Kyoto is how we would describe it. We particularly loved the old geisha and samurai districts and enjoyed the ninja temple. It’s a smaller city, so easy to walk everywhere.

Day trip to Takayama well worth doing. 2 hours each way on bus. Suzuki museum beautiful and very calming. Get the loop bus pass - makes it easier to get around and saves your feet for walking at the different locations.

Vibrant regional city with a fantastic cultural heritage to share. Great onsen nearby. And less than three hours from Tokyo by bullet train!
