house Kaga
Gem of a machiya
Description
The house was traditionally transformed into a modern day machiya and has a wonderful mix of east and west. The first floor has a garden, living room, kitchen and bath area. The living room has nice tatami floors and looks out from the large windows onto the Japanese garden. On the second floor you have bedrooms that will truly help you experience a real Japan. The bedrooms are blue and red, a famous pair of colors in Kanazawa distinguishing samurais from non samurais. With western beds in one room and comfortable futons in the other, not only is the house easy to relax in, but the location is great too.
The Nagamachi samurai district, downtown Katamachi, Saigawa river, and the ninja temple are all less than a ten minute walk. Kanazawa is a relatively small city, but has a lot of nice places to see and restaurants to explore. Kaga house makes all of those very easy do. We hope to have you!

A wonderfully renovated Machiya in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to Kanazawa's sights and night life. We were met in-person by Cedric who showed us how to use everything and sat down to review recommended places throughout the city. Cedric even helped find a delicious local dorayaki shop after I told him my trip had become a dorayaki roadshow. The house was comfortable, stylish, and traditional with all the modern amenities. The washing machine was a huge plus! Highly recommended.
Nice place hosted by nice people. Special thanks to Cedric for arranging taxi rides for us.
Great stay, great location. Chris was fantastic taking us through the house and helping us plan our activities in Kanazawa.
Great location near the Samurai district of Kanazawa. The house was spacious for the two of us, and we were even able to use the laundry! Chris gave us great recommendations and even helped us make a dinner reservation. Awesome service. Highly recommend.
We have a perfect perfect stay at Kaga home. Chris and Valentine were wonderful, they were very responsive, gave us great tips about the city. The house itself was very cute and fully equipped . We will definitely come back and hopefully try out other house of Japan experience.
