I had a fantastic experience at Sharin! The capsules are spacious, there are not many of them so it is quiet, clean and comfortable. It was super nice to interact with Takahiro, the owner of Sharin. He gave me great advice for visiting kanazawa and even warned me that an awesome firework was scheduled one night (no information about that in tourism office, this was a very local experience). The bar of Sharin is opened only on Friday and Saturday and that was a great experience as well: I have met a few kanazawa locals and Takahiro helped me in traducing a few phrases to improve the exchange. The bar closes at 10pm so no worries, this activity will not trouble your nights. I also had great interactions with other travellers in the dormitory: small place like Sharin tend to foster exchanges as you feel more at home.

I only stayed in Shaq bighouse overnight since there is no late transport in Kanazawa and I stay at a university dormitory. It was so affordable to stay overnight (at 2400 Yen) compared to taking a taxi. I also REALLY appreciate that he accommodated my late check-in request (near midnight) because of my late travel. I didn't really get a chance to experience the other facilities, but the bed was really nice and warm (this was already November). I hope to come back someday for an extended period of time and experience the restaurant downstairs!

Mr Makoto was very welcoming and spoke fantastic English. He explained all the best things to see and do in Kanazawa in a short visit as well as how to get around the area. Beds were comfortable, facilities were clean, and all round was a fantastic place to stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The location was the best thing about this hotel! For a capsule it was quite nice, the mattress was a lot more comfortable than expected and fairly spacious - the ceilings are pretty tall. Stayed in the women’s dormitory and felt very comfortable and safe, definitely worth the money if you just gonna stay for 1 or 2 nights.

Great location: 5 minutes from Kanazawa station! The hostel is on 3rd floor and there is no elevator, so it can be hard to carry a big suitcase. The common area is divided into common and female area. The common has bar hockers and female area is with normal chairs. Free coffee and tea. Beds are big, with a lot of space above, a wooden crate locker, space under bed for suitcases and a shelf above the bed for else. Towels are changed daily.

You get what you pay for. Cheap hostel. Location is good and bad depending on what you’re planning. If to stay near the train station: great, if you want to see the touristic places, it’s too far to walk all the time, too close to take the bus

Very centrally located, close to everything you need to see in Kanazawa and not too far from the train station by walking. The owner of the hostel is an awesome guy who speaks English very well! Will help you with anything you need even if it’s insights on life about his crazy stories of meeting people ( Ask him about the bus crash)
