SOKI KANAZAWA

Because my paternal family grave is in Kanazawa, I stay one night in Kanazawa every year. I’ve stayed at various places, but this year I chose this Hotel for its convenient access from Musashigatsuji. The group has sister Hotels in places like Atami, so I was somewhat familiar with the concept, and it felt like a clean and comfortable space. In a positive sense, it’s a minimalist design with no unnecessary extras. Considering the price range, both the Room and the shared spaces inside the Hotel were more than satisfactory. The large public bath had a better atmosphere than expected, and the interior fittings were excellent; I also appreciated being able to enjoy coffee milk after bathing. On the other hand, there are essentially no amenities provided, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone expecting amenities. As for everything outside the Hotel itself, the location is excellent—not only is Omicho Market very close, but if you don’t mind walking you can also reach Korinbo, Higashi Chaya District, Kazuemachi Chaya District, and Kanazawa Station on foot for an efficient way to enjoy Kanazawa.

The Facility was clean throughout, which was great. The complimentary drink after the bath was a nice touch. The location was also convenient, with the market nearby.
