Experience of the stay

Since I had a business trip to a nearby prefecture two weeks ago, I combined that with an overnight stay for a half-day sightseeing experience. Since I was staying Friday and Saturday, it was a bit pricey compared to other sites, but using Haf, I was able to get it for around 100 coins, which was very reasonable. I saw other people's posts, and it seemed to have a good reputation, so I decided to choose this place. [Check-in & Check-out] The front desk staff guided me, and the check-in process went smoothly. There seemed to be many international guests, and all the staff were foreign, but they were very courteous, and there was no problem. I received a room card to access my room and a key for the safety deposit box to store valuable items. [Front Desk Service] Near the front desk elevator, there were loungewear, earplugs, and slippers available. Additionally, during check-in, I received a complimentary coffee or tea. The Kaga Hōjicha (a type of tea) is a specialty of Ishikawa Prefecture. I was also given a limited-time sample of propolis. [Room] I thought it might be the size of a capsule hotel, but I was really surprised by how spacious it was. I was satisfied with the stay at this price. The comforter was a bit thin, but it seems I could borrow an electric blanket from the front desk if I asked. The TV was large and mounted on the ceiling, and I could enjoy it comfortably by connecting to the headphone jack. I happened to have my own work headphones, so I didn't have to buy any, but note that basic headphones are available for rent for a fee, so if you visit, bringing your own compatible headphones would be a good idea. Having two outlets was also a pleasant surprise. The refrigerator appeared to be shared, with one unit per floor. [Toilet & Large Bath] The toilets were located right outside each floor and, although I thought they might not be very clean, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean they actually were. Moreover, there was an iron available for women (for both curling and straightening). The large bath was of moderate size, and the sauna was also satisfactory. Given the price, it's excellent value for money. After checking out, I could also leave my luggage, which made it very convenient for sightseeing without being weighed down. There are several hotels in Ishikawa Prefecture that I want to explore, but I'll definitely consider using this one again soon given the reasonable rates.

Experiences during the trip

I arrived in Kanazawa around 3 PM after finishing work. I headed to the hotel to check in, but since I happened to come across Omicho Market, I decided to stroll around. The market itself was somewhat empty after 3 PM. I managed to get into the popular Morimori Sushi just before closing at 4:30 PM, so I didn’t have to wait at all. The sushi was incredibly delicious. The next day, I strolled around Kenrokuen from the morning. It’s about a 10-minute walk, which is just right. When I arrived just after 8 AM, there were fewer people than I expected, and I could enjoy the sightseeing. It seems that the dango shop opens around 8:30 AM, so it might get crowded after 9 AM. After checking out, I left my luggage and took a stroll around Higashi Chaya District. I tried the Shiratama Namafu at a popular store called “Fumuro Chaya.” This shop is quite popular, so you should arrive 10 minutes before it opens if you want to be among the first to try it. Although it was less than a day, it was a very satisfying trip.
