Onyado Nono Kanazawa Natural Hot Spring, Kanazawa

Onyado Nono Kanazawa Natural Hot Spring is a hotel that offers a taste of traditional Japanese culture, as it's designed as a modernized hatago—a nod to the classic Japanese inns of the past. As you step in from the busy street, you'll appreciate the calming tatami mats covering most hotel floors. The spacious lobby features light wood shades and ample seating. From this central location, you're a 15-minute stroll from the Kenrokuen Gardens (ranked as one of Japan's most beautiful green spaces), the Nagamachi Samurai Residence (a well-preserved Edo-period samurai house), and JR Kanazawa Station, making it easy to explore the city. 

Modeled after a traditional Japanese business hotel, the no-frills rooms at the Onyado Nono Kanazawa feature neutral tones, tatami mats, futon beds with large flowery backsplashes, and sliding windows, which allow daylight to stream into the room. Bathrooms include a small shower, which you can enjoy before lounging around the suite in the provided pajamas. If you or someone in your party have limited mobility, the Universal Room is thoughtfully designed for accessibility.

Begin your day with the hotel's all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast, with healthy, tasty meals served in small, one-bite portions. After a long day of sightseeing, unwind at the rejuvenating natural hot spring with separate gender-specific baths, a spacious sauna, and a cold bath for a refreshing plunge. Enjoy complimentary Yonaki Soba noodles for a late-night bite from 9:30 pm to 11 pm. If you're still hungry, grab a snack or drink from the vending machine before heading to the manga corner to read a comic book.
