Experience of the stay
From Kanazawa Station, head towards Cross Gate Kanazawa,
and walk along the building.
Because there are parts without a roof, during bad weather,
it's best to pass under the roof at the bus stop and enter inside Cross Gate Kanazawa.
Then, turn right in front of Emza Deli Market and proceed outside.
As I stayed during a three-day weekend, the occupancy was higher than usual.
However, there were no issues getting onto the elevator from the entrance to the lobby.
That being said, the drink free-flow was quite crowded.
If you’re alone or with one other person, you can find seats easily,
and it was perfect to grab something while out.
For toothbrushes and pajamas, it’s a style where you take the necessary amount from the amenity bar.
The room was spacious with a clear movement flow.
The view was of a parking lot and the railway, but on snowy days,
it helped in planning my return (lol).
It was nice to have a microwave. You can use it at 500W or 600W.
There’s a 1L electric kettle and a coffee maker,
with coffee being brewed from a large pack.
Decaf is also available.
The tea packs offered are Earl Grey and Darjeeling.
There are sufficient supplies of fresh milk and sugar.
At the lobby's H Market, there are local products from Ishikawa Prefecture,
and the donut here was perfectly thawed while I prepared my tea.
There are several flavors, but I chose the Noto blueberry with gold leaf.
It's reasonably priced with a gentle sweetness, so I highly recommend it.
Breakfast for one is included, which I had at the restaurant.
It was relatively empty for about 10 minutes after opening,
but after 30 minutes it became somewhat crowded.
The Hyakumangoku rice goes well with curry,
and besides bread, there were cereals and nuts available.
Slowly enjoying mornings and evenings, going out during the day,
buying what I liked and enjoying it in my room,
it was truly a hotel where I could relax like at home.
Experiences during the trip
The light-up of Kenrokuen,
a gelato shop originated in Noto,
Hokuriku limited edition products from convenience stores,
an eclectic itinerary of a journey.
And a cold wave has arrived.
The last day of the winter light-up.
Kenrokuen was thrilling with frozen roads, slopes,
and slippery snow.
After capturing a photo of the Kotoji lantern,
it started snowing heavily, and as I headed towards the exit,
the closing time had been moved up and I was unable to enter.
The plaza of Kanazawa Castle remained open,
but it felt dimly lit with a blanket of snow. 😂
In Noto, there is a small factory of a gelato shop called Margalabo located in Nonoichi city.
I could select from various flavors of gelato available that day,
and it was very difficult to choose from so many options.
I picked a double scoop of Spring Waiting Cherry and Noto Salt Chocolate Chip,
and I was given caramel as a bonus, which turned out to be a delicious choice.
Since public transportation required a bit of walking from the bus and stations,
I was lucky to have pleasant weather for that moment.
I successfully purchased all the products from the convenience store,
and then took a break at Kanazawa Forus while watching a movie.
Being an Aeon Cinema, it has a range of popular titles ready to watch.
The shops inside accept WAON, and there are stores offering Ishikawa prefecture’s products,
so you won’t have trouble finding souvenirs.
Gradually returning from the extraordinary to the everyday,
it was a journey where I was able to challenge myself to find new joys. 😊Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
