Kanazawa Sainoniwa Hotel

Kanazawa Sainoniwa Hotel is a hotel in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It’s famous for breakfast, having ranked consecutively in “best breakfast hotel” lists on travel sites—but that’s not all. The hotel features multiple garden areas, and relaxing lounge spaces with sofas arranged around the gardens. There is also a large public bath; in the rest area you can use free massage chairs and equipment like a running machine. A freezer stocked with ice cream is available, and you can eat it for free—another appealing perk. The lounge also provides complimentary drinks, including Kaga bocha and Noto black tea, so you can take your time. Of course, breakfast is a buffet filled with Kanazawa ingredients. Since it has been continuously ranked, the variety is rich, and there are plenty of desserts even in the morning. Amenities are plentiful, and there are even tea sweets made with Kanazawa traditional vegetables. Both nightwear and samue-style in-house clothing are provided. Access: about a 15-minute walk from JR Kanazawa Station (free shuttle bus available).
