It really was the highlight of my trip to Japan. The beauty and serenity of the house, cute little garden, very stylish building and room interiors and the host - everything was magnificent. I could sit and relax in my room for hours and simply enjoy the morning light pouring in through the windows. The easiest 10/10 I have ever given.

Lovely guesthouse close to Higashi Chaya. It is run by an older couple who live on site and there are two or three guest rooms and an adorable Shiba Inu living in the house. I had the smallest room on the ground floor, which was incredibly cheap. Just a few tatami, a small table, a low chair, hooks for clothes. An aircon/heater that worked very well. Natural day light. For me, who goes out sightseeing, that was more than enough. There is also a large kitchen/ living room you are free to use, laundry facilities. All bathrooms are shared and are spick-and-span. The hosts are super friendly and speak English. Buses for the sights are close by, one bus stop basically in front of the house, another 300m away. Also, there are two really great onsen. Yamato Onsen is maybe 200m away and has muddy brown lovely onsen water. Kuwana Yu is about 500m and has fewer onsen baths but a sauna. Both are vintage Showa era public baths, basic but super clean, bring your own towel.

I had an amazing stay! The hosts are absolutely lovely, so friendly and always ready to help with anything. The breakfast was the highlight, so delicious that I ordered it for two consecutive days! The room was spotless and very comfortable, I enjoyed a lot sleeping on a tatami! Everything exceeded my expectations, truly my best stay so far. I will definitely come back again🤍

I found the place great for exploring Kanazawa: you get an entire traditional Japanese house for yourself, in a quiet place despite being 20 minutes by foot from Kenroku-en garden and the castle, and at a very competitive price. It was extremely clean and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The host was phenomenal, when we didn't know where to eat she called many different places to check their hours and sent along a ton of reccomendations the next day. She also always greeted us warmly not matter when we left or came back. Not only that, but the location was fantastic, being in the heart of Higashi Chaya district in an old geisha house. A lot of the architeture and items from when it was used by geishas' were still there.

The house is located very close to the Higashi Chaya District, in a quiet residental area. It is well equiped with everything in the common areas. Although the rooms are small, the soundproofing seems to be working well. But what made our stay really memorable is the kindness of our host. To anyone who is visiting Kanazawa, and is looking for a cosy traditional accomodation I can strongly recommend this place.

    This was an incredible experience staying with some lovely locals Nina and Masaki. The nightly activities were a real highlight and something I will not forget for a long time. The facilities were clean and comfortable. It's a really cute space. Don't leave Ponghi without asking Nina about her favourite J-Pop songs ;)

    Very lovely guest house with a great host. Pleasant change to the usual choice of more or less soulless hotels if you want something more unique. I visited for a couple of days to see Kanazawa. Would definitely choose this accommodation again. Medium-duration walk to the city centre.
