Seeing each other in kimono is beautiful! You may even fall in love with each other again! and you may fall in love with each other all over again!
The two of us walk hand in hand at a sightseeing spot we visit for the first time... What a happy time! Buy matching souvenirs and take commemorative photos together. It seems that many memories will increase. ryokan or hotel where you stay is important as a base for your trip.
The inns in Kanazawa City that we will introduce this time are ones that offer a wide range of services for couples, such as private open-air baths, optional services for anniversaries, and great atmospheres. There are also hotels with rooms on high floors with beautiful night views that are sure to create a good atmosphere for couples. Please use this as a reference for your trip to Kanazawa for couples.
When traveling as a couple, you want to be alone as much as possible. Sakaeya is approximately 30 minutes by car from JR Kanazawa Station. Although it is a 5-story inn, it is a luxurious space with only 7 guest rooms in total. This is a long-established inn that was founded in 1939, and you can feel the atmosphere typical of Kanazawa. Kanazawa Yuwaku Yumejikan is right in front of you, so it would be nice to go on a date at the museum after checking in.
Yuwaku onsen is said to be colorless, tasteless, and odorless, and has a fine texture. There are also bathhouses called “Tsuki no Yu (women’s bath)” and “Hoshi no Yu (men’s bath),” but if you are traveling as a couple, you might want to take a bath alone. The guest room with an open-air bath is a semi-open-air bath with a large window, but it is large for a room bath and you can relax in it.
Among the seven rooms, the room named "Azuma Ichige" is a maisonette type that is quite rare in Kanazawa city. The 3rd and 4th floors are connected in the room, so you won't pass each other when moving. It seems that it is an image of the Himuro in Kanazawa, and it feels somewhat cool.
For dinner, you can fully enjoy the fruits of the sea and the mountains, such as wild vegetables and organically grown Kaga vegetables that the chef has personally collected, and freshly landed fish. There is also a in-room dining plan, so you can enjoy it slowly without worrying about being seen.
