Rivre Housai  

In the heart of Kanazawa, minutes from the city center and an easy 5-minute drive to Omicho Market and Kenrokuen Garden. The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is about 1.4 miles away and Ishikawa Ongakudo sits roughly 0.4 miles from the property.

Rivre Housai feels like a city apartment you actually want to stay in. Eleven guestrooms come with kitchen facilities — refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves — plus 32-inch LCD TVs and complimentary wireless internet. There’s no elevator, and a virtual front desk keeps things streamlined.

A conference hall is available for meetings, and complimentary wireless internet keeps work on track. The virtual front desk adds a touch of convenience for business travelers.

Stop by the on-site restaurant for a meal, or make your own in-room with the kitchen setup and free tea/instant coffee. Omicho Market is a stone’s throw away for fresh, local bites and market-side discoveries.
