KOKO HOTEL Kanazawa Ekimae

A highly convenient hotel for sightseeing and business, located about a 5-minute walk from Tsuzumi-mon Gate, the symbol of JR Kanazawa Station.

On the top floor, “Tenku Gallery Onborato” showcases designs supervised by Ryozo Shirae, who worked on Tsuzumi-mon Gate, along with spatial sculptures by sculptor Yoshimasa Tsuchiya that add character to the front desk, lobby, and restaurant. “Onborato” is a Kanazawa dialect word meaning “take it easy,” and the hotel offers a relaxing atmosphere throughout. There is also a terrace with sweeping views of the Hokuriku Shinkansen and central Kanazawa, making for a memorable stay.

In addition to a wide range of room types, including deluxe rooms, the Japanese-Western style rooms with tatami flooring are popular as family rooms, offering a comfortable stay even for guests with small children. The “Happy Baby Room,” designed especially for stays with infants and toddlers, also comes with baby amenities, wooden toys, picture books, and more, so you can travel lighter and stay in comfort.

For breakfast, choose your main dish from “carefully prepared kamameshi” or a “juicy hamburger,” while side dishes are served in a half-buffet style. Local specialties such as jibuni and Kanazawa oden also appear on a daily rotating menu, making it a great way to start the day.
