Within walking distance, there are stylish bars and restaurants where you can spend time calmly, gold leaf experience, public baths in hot springs, coin laundry, etc. Enjoy traditional Japanese culture in the teahouse district of Kanazawa.
I am Chihori, the person in charge of accommodation at Kototoki. This inn has been renewed from 2023! We will continue to offer our heartfelt hospitality so that everyone can enjoy the teahouse culture of Kanazawa.
Higashi Chaya District is about 10 minutes by bus or car from Kanazawa Station. About 5 minutes from Omicho Market. It is in a good location, about 5 minutes from Kenrokuen. There are many one-way streets and narrow roads in this area, so please park in the nearby coin parking when you come by car. Our inn is located in the Important Preservation District for Traditional Buildings in Higashi Chaya District, a tourist destination in Kanazawa City. Fire rules are very strict, so smoking is not allowed inside or outside the building except in designated smoking areas.
