The Superior room was very roomy, loved the separate toilet and shower rooms. Virtually right in Old Town. Could not have chosen a better place.

Hotel INTERGATE KANAZAWA
Central location in Kanazawa for easy access (via bus) to most places you want to see. Recommend taxi for visiting the garden (Kenrokuen) and Castle (note, castle is reconstructed, so it is up to you if you want to see it). Hotel room was about average size and nicely laid out.
