01Concept

Kanazawa, at a resident's pace.

Not a hotel. Not a tourist box.
A quietly restored old townhouse, and a home with a small Japanese garden carrying Taishō-era atmosphere.
Two whole-house stays, each offering its own way of inhabiting Kanazawa.

Two distinct houses. Choose by group size or atmosphere.

Nomachi Villa — dining table with warm light at night
VILLA No.01 — opened November 2024

Nomachi Villa

野町邸 / Nomachi, Kanazawa

A quietly restored two-storey townhouse. Soft light through shōji, the warm calm of wood and tatami. Two bedrooms — one Japanese, one Western — sleeping up to 6. Ten minutes' walk from the Katamachi nightlife, far enough that the city's hum doesn't reach you.

"This was the most beautiful and peaceful stay in Japan, looks exactly like the photos in real life. The house is beautiful with so many amazing details, everything taken care of."

"This home is an authentic, original Japanese style home. The Japanese garden is as beautiful as the photos. After sleeping on typical beds for 25 nights, I had the best sleep at this home."
Angela · 5 nights · Shiragiku Villa · Nov 2025
"Wish we could give it 6 stars for our one week stay. In a great location in a typical quiet Japanese neighborhood, full of temples and trees."

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Q.01When can we check in and out?
Check-in is from 15:00, check-out by 11:00. Earlier check-in or later check-out can sometimes be arranged — please ask.
Q.02How does check-in work?
After booking, we send you a link to your private guest page. There you upload a passport photo (non-Japanese guests) and complete a short guest registry for everyone in your party — a step required by Japanese law. Once submitted, your check-in details (address, access, Wi-Fi, entrance keybox PIN) appear on the page. A staff member usually meets you at the villa for in-person ID verification. You can message us anytime through the guest page during your stay.
Q.03What's the difference between direct booking and Airbnb?
Direct booking (Nomachi) is the lowest rate — no OTA commission applies. Long-stay discounts (10% for 3+ nights, 15% for 4+ nights, 18% for 7+ nights) are direct-booking only. Shiragiku is currently bookable on Airbnb only.
Q.04Is there a minimum stay?
Yes — two nights minimum at all villas.
Q.05What languages can the host handle?
The host speaks Japanese only, but uses real-time translation tools to assist guests in any language. Replies typically arrive within the hour.
Q.06Is there parking?
Nomachi has free parking 2 minutes on foot from the villa. Shiragiku doesn't have private parking, but coin parking is available 1 minute away.
Q.07Can we stay with young children?
Yes. A high chair is available on request, free of charge — please mention this when booking.
Q.08What about long stays and remote work?
All villas have Wi-Fi suitable for video calls. Discounts apply from 3 nights onward, with the deepest direct-booking discount at 7+ nights.
