Noto Island Vacations from $1,030

Everything was very good! Bill had a personalized attention. The apartment is so new and everything works great. It’s close and convenient to things to do in the city, convenient to take a taxi to the train station or downtown. A family mart is close. The apartment is not huge (for American standards). Our 5 people felt like really tight so consider that when getting it. It was access to a nice rooftop. Perhaps the only thing you would want out of this property to be is that the payment at the property is done in their office in the building and not the apartment which was a little inconvenient. For us travelers that can afford this property we could simply pay in advance and not have to interact with the landlord.

Very comfortable room, excellent location, walking distance from the station, near the fish market, restaurants, castle and garden.

Perfect

Staying in Higashi Chaya was unlike simply visiting a historic neighborhood. For a little while, it felt as though we were actually living inside a piece of Kanazawa’s history, not just looking at it from the outside. The machiya itself made that feeling even more special. We had the entire house to ourselves, and the original wood and traditional character were beautifully balanced with a calm, contemporary design. The house was beautifully kept and very comfortable, with local art and craftsmanship thoughtfully integrated throughout the space. Self check-in was simple, and whenever we needed anything, the team was easy to reach online and very helpful. One of our favorite experiences was making matcha ourselves. The traditional tea utensils were beautiful, and an easy-to-follow guide was provided, so even as beginners we could enjoy it at our own pace. Preparing tea together in the quiet machiya became one of those small moments that stayed with us after the trip. Very few places have made us feel so connected to the destination itself. Staying here didn’t just give us somewhere beautiful to sleep, it changed the way we experienced Kanazawa. We would happily return.
