It was my first experience in a traditional japanese accomodation and I was not dissapointed. Its traditional, but at the same time modern. Stylish. Incredibly clean. They have a cozy room to drink tea and watch the amazing garden. Very quiet. It was like a holiday inside my holiday. Staff was very gentle.

The most beautiful and touching experience of Japanese hospitality. At Gao’s, Yoneda and Soku’s warm welcome made us feel like we stayed with a family. Little Gao-chan was an angel, and we couldn’t get enough of him ❤️ Our room was a big 2-floor room with an AC. We were warm and slept well. The futons can be a bit unusual after western beds, but our backs were really happy with the experience and we rested really well. The guest house and the district are very quiet and allow for good rest. The accommodation is in an excellent location if you want to visit places in Kanazawa. You can reach most places by foot easily, and during rainy days you can use bus connections, as the area is well connected. In the end of our stay, our kind hosts gave us handmade gifts, which was incredibly touching.

Shuji made us feel very welcome the moment we arrived. His warmth, friendliness and generosity as well as his local information and recommendations outshone any guide book or Google search. The entire place was spotlessly clean and cosy. Although the rooms were small, the bunks were comfortable with nice linen and cosy duvets and there was room for luggage. The common area was well stocked with everything needed to make a meal or tea and coffee. The location in the historical Higashi Chaya district was ideal. Easy to get to by bus from Kanazawa Station. Walking distance to a supermarket, Kenrokuen Gardens, museums, restaurants. Very quiet within Stella as well as where it is located.

We loved the big ryokan-style room, the shower and toilets were very close to the room and incredibly clean. The location is perfect, a short walk from the samurai quarter and close to the center. The owners are incredibly nice and the food is excellent. A great place in Kanazawa!

Good price for a spacious and well equipped house. The host met us at the house and showed us everything. We loved the little garden and especially seeing it after it snowed in the night. Really useful to have the washing machine.

Wanted to experience a machiya while visiting in Japan, and thought that Kanazawa would be the best place to do it. Ui-ca guesthouse exceeded my expectations—the house itself was very tidy, well-kept with updated fixtures, yet still retained all the charm of an older structure. Everything was beautifully decorated, and the house was so thoughtfully furnished—our family's stay was very comfortable. The host, too, was exceptionally kind and a wonderful communicator, offering to help us with our luggage (of which we had a lot) and even giving us a ride our first day out on her way home. Thank you so much for a great stay~~ next time I come to Kanazawa, would definitely love to stay here again!
