Hotel Dengan Spa di Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

We absolutely loved our stay at the minimal modern Muji-style hotel! The design was sleek and inviting, creating a serene atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The hotel was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that enhanced our experience. Although our stay was short—just one night—we truly enjoyed every moment. The ambiance was perfect for relaxation, and we appreciated the convenient amenities that made our visit enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kanazawa. Its blend of modern aesthetics and comfort makes it a standout choice!

It’s not at the train station. Would need to use the bus or taxi, though it’s not too difficult. There are many bus lines go through the nearby stop. It’s a walking distance to 近江町市場, a famous seafood market.

It was okay. I didn’t include breakfast in the booking, and adding it later wasn’t possible. There was no cleaning during the stay—fresh towels were just hung on the hotel door. Only three washing machines for the whole place, which wasn’t really enough; people were queuing often. Nothing special, but it did the job.

Excellent place to stay that has an onsen at its highest floor. It has both an indoor and outdoor onsen. Their room was standard fare for most Japanese hotels. It’s the little things that add to the charm like free pudding dessert and bottled water. They also have free popsicles and probiotic drinks to enjoy after an onsen session. A big plus especially for families is the numerous washers and dryers in their laundry room. In the evening, they also have free ramen for supper. Overall, great value and experience makes it a great choice.

Hakuchoro is a classic in Kanzawa, the decor is very tastefully done and the overall atmosphere has character.  It’s onsen is natural spring water and though the bath are relatively modest, it never gets crowded.  They provide free bus shuttles to and from the Kanazawa station and is a very helpful feature. Rooms are large and well appointed and everything in the fridge - water, tea, orange juice and beers are free and topped up everyday. The stained glass in the lobby area and in the rooms are nice touched included the very nice pottery ware used for breakfast! Breakfast buffet spread is both western and Japanese and they even now have sparkling wine and sake for breakfast!  Definitely has character!

An excellent hotel rather near the Kanazawa Train Station. There are also some good Japanese restaurants opposite the hotel. The room is spacious, contemporary with Japanese flavour. The facilities and amenities are comprehensive like body lotion, shampoo, comb, Onsen towel scrub, and tooth brush. The Onsen is rather small but sufficient as the turnover rate is pretty high since there is not much spaceto loiter or space out. The Japanese breakfast is sumptuous and pretty good variety. If you are early for your check-in, the hotel will gladly safekeeping for you until you return for the check-in at 3pm.

Look no further, Mori no Sumika Resort and Spa is absolutely wonderful! The staff are amazing, the rooms are spacious and well appointed, the property to include the hot springs baths is excellent - the food offerings for breakfast and dinner changes each day, the chef serving the freshest seafood, meats, vegetables. It’s a beautiful place that you’ll never want to leave and for sure come back to sooner than later. Arigato gozaimasu

The hotel is a bit far from Kanazawa Station, requiring a short walk. There are convenience stores, ramen shops, and several restaurants nearby for late-night snacks. The rooms are larger than those in Tokyo's super hotels, with enough space to open a suitcase. Drinks are served in the evening, and the onsen (hot spring) is fantastic!

In the 2025 cherry blossom season, the first five hotels in Kyoto, Japan and the Hokuriku region were all rated poorly, either dirty or noisy. Finally, there is a hotel with all 5-star reviews. You must make an appointment for the transportation from Kaga Onsen to the hotel at least one day in advance on your own official website or ask Ctrip. I made an appointment with Ctrip two days in advance. I like the customer service. Follow the instructions at the south gate of Kaga Onsen Station to see the hotel's car. The timetable is shown in the last photo. The driver is courteous and considerate. On the way, there will be a brief introduction to the Buddha statue, snow mountain, famous product Mantou Niangniang, etc. It takes 25 minutes to arrive at the hotel. It feels like home. The staff kneels down to serve. Now the process is done quickly. The corner Western-style room I booked is very good to live in. The sun is bright and the size is just right. The hotel is generous and the coffee and tea bar is available 24 hours a day. The quality is excellent. It is so thoughtful. You can choose a Kutani yaki tea cup. The latte is very delicious. The afternoon tea teppanyaki restaurant makes fresh pancakes. At 4 pm, five kinds of sweet cocktails are provided for happy hour. They are prepared by the staff and are delicious. Pudding is provided at 8 pm. There is a geisha performance at 8:45 Yamanaka Festival. A plate of snacks is also delicious in the morning. There is a row of sake for dinner. I didn’t pay attention to whether it is a self-service sake or free. I think this price and quality are above average. Breakfast is also full of sincerity and free sake is provided. The staff in the restaurant are very warm and thoughtful. My room does not have a private bath. When you check in, you will be asked to choose a private bath for 50 minutes. The large bath is also very good. You can also soak in the foot bath when you are free. I really can’t find any fault with this cost performance. I stayed in the expensive hotel next to it, Huazi, the next day. There was nothing except two bottles of water, a bag of coffee and a bag of stick tea. There was a welcome tea, but no other activities or food. Jixiangting is really serious about running a hotel. The only thing is that sometimes there is a faint smell of sewage in the hotel. In addition, there are a lot of Hong Kong tour groups staying there, and they talk very loudly.

It was not a new inn but clean. The staff was good.
