SOKI KANAZAWA

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.

The room was decent, and the dinner was excellent – refined, with a creative touch. The hotel's front desk offered a fun activity where you could make your own eco-friendly sachets. The hotel also boasts a great location, making for a very good overall experience.
