01Concept

Three houses,
one idea —
to inhabit Kanazawa.

Not a hotel. Not a tourist box.
A place to walk Kanazawa from the inside — at a resident's pace.

An old townhouse, quietly composed, in Nomachi.
A Taishō-era home with a private garden, in Shiragiku.
Three rooms reframed in tatami and shōji, seven minutes from the station, in Horikawa.

Stay quietly. Cook for yourself.
Leave the door, and the city is waiting.

02The villas

Three ways
to stay.

Each house carries its own character. Choose by group size, mood, or how close you want to be to the station.

01 / Nomachi
Nomachi Villa interior
VILLA NO.01 — opened Nov 2024

Nomachi Villa

A two-storey townhouse, quietly restored. Long corridors, paper light through shōji, the steady weight of wood and tatami. Two bedrooms — one Western, one Japanese — with semi-double beds and futons available for families up to six. Ten minutes on foot from the Katamachi nightlife, and quiet enough that you forget it's there.

VILLA NO.02 — opened Aug 2025

A Taishō-era residence, carefully restored with antique furniture and lighting. The living room opens onto a small Japanese garden — maple, pine, and nandina — lit softly at night. Two upstairs bedrooms, one tatami and one wooden, sleep up to five. The west teahouse district is two-hundred metres away.

03Neighborhood

The city,
close enough
to walk.

The gardens, the teahouse districts, the market — most of what makes Kanazawa worth visiting is within walking distance from Nomachi and Shiragiku, or one short bus ride away. Horikawa sits closer to the station — see Location for details.

Kenroku-en Garden

15 min by bus

One of Japan's three great gardens. Try the early morning free-entry hour.

02

Myōryū-ji (Ninja Temple)

4 min on foot

A temple of hidden mechanisms. Booking essential.

03

Higashi Chaya District

20 min on foot

Lattice-fronted teahouses. Most beautiful at dusk, when the lanterns come on.

04

Omicho Market

15 min on foot

Local vegetables, fish from the Sea of Japan. The villa kitchens ask to be cooked in.

05

21st Century Museum

18 min on foot

Contemporary art that meets you on a daily, unhurried scale.

06

Nishi Chaya District

6 min on foot

The smallest of the three teahouse quarters. Quieter, less photographed.

07FAQ

Questions,
answered.

A few things guests usually ask before they arrive. For anything else, send a message.

Q.01
When can we check in and out?
Check-in is from 15:00, check-out by 11:00. Earlier check-in or later check-out can sometimes be arranged — please ask.
Q.02
How does check-in work?
After booking, we ask for two things by Japanese government request: a passport photo for non-Japanese guests, and a brief guest registration form (Google Form). Once we have these, we send the check-in details. A staff member will usually meet you at the villa to confirm your identity in person.
Q.03
Is there a minimum stay?
Yes — two nights minimum at all villas. Longer stays receive direct booking discounts (see below).
Q.04
What languages can the host handle?
The host speaks Japanese only, but uses real-time translation tools to assist guests in any language. Replies typically arrive within the hour.
Q.05
Why book direct, instead of Airbnb?
Direct bookings (Nomachi) are the lowest available rate. Long-stay discounts apply: 10% off for 3+ nights, 15% off for 4+ nights, and 18% off for 7+ nights. These discounts are only available via direct booking. Shiragiku is currently bookable through Airbnb only; Horikawa opens for booking in summer 2026.
Q.06
Is there parking?
Nomachi has free parking 2 minutes on foot from the villa. Shiragiku and Horikawa do not include parking, but coin parking is available 1 minute away — let us know and we'll send the details.
Q.07
Are the houses suitable for young children?
Yes. A high chair is available on request, free of charge. Please mention this when booking.
Q.08
What about long stays and remote work?
All villas have Wi-Fi suitable for video calls. Discounts apply from three nights onward, with the deepest direct-booking discount at seven nights or more.
