Not at all! We will gladly hold a room for you without a credit card number.

We ask, instead, that guests pay up front upon check in, in cash or credit card, or that your travel agent make the appropriate arrangements with us to prepay your reservation. You may also pay for your room in advance by credit card if you wish.

We accept most credit cards, including—but not limited to—Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. We are unable to accept Union Pay at this time.

If you are unsure if your specific card will be accepted, please feel free to inquire by email.

All guests who book their reservations directly through our website or by email receive breakfast on us.

Guests who prepay through travel agencies (not OTAs) may choose to pay for breakfast meals in advance. Other guests who pay upon check-in will, at that time, be shown that season’s choice of breakfast asked if they would like to add it to their plan.

Although a limit on the number of adults is placed for fire safety standards, children under 12 do not count against this limit.

A limited number of baby beds (cribs) are available for travelers with infants at no charge. Please let us know if you would like to reserve one for your room.

If you need more space than a room provides, please consider booking a second room or booking beds in Kaname Hostel, just a few blocks away here on Tatemachi Street.

Currently, we are unable to change a room type for a reservation made through our OTAs. Please cancel and re-reserve through the OTA of your choice or book directly.

Please contact us to let us know if this is the situation for you. If it is possible, we will of course set both reservations in the same room and let you know whether we are successful.

All contents must be declared on the shipping form. Kaname Inn Tatemachi cannot accept responsibility for any items lost or damaged during shipping.

Please check our access page for detailed directions from these locations.

Kaname Inn Tatemachi does not have a private parking lot. Instead, we offer discount parking tickets to two tie-up lots on Tatemachi Street within walking distance of us.

Parking information is on our access page.

Please keep in mind the size of your vehicle and length of your stay when choosing a lot.

If parking at one of our tie-up lots, please park before checking in. At check-in, purchase one of our discount parking tickets, which you can deposit as you leave the lot.

On the rare occasion that our tie-up lots are full, such as during major Japanese holidays, we are located near several other lots, including System Park Shintatemachi and Fast P Tatemachi.

Please note these lots will be full price to use.

When you enter one of the tie-up lots, you will be given a ticket marking the time you entered. Please keep this ticket with you or in your vehicle.

When checking in, let our staff know in which lot you’ve parked. We’ll sell you the discount ticket for that lot. Please keep it with you.

You’ll need both your entry ticket and your discount ticket to leave the parking lot. As you leave, deposit your entry ticket into the machine, followed by the discount ticket from us.

If you’ve overstayed for the time allotted with the discount ticket, check with the front desk first. Depending on the lot and the time, we may be able to offer you a discount for the additional hours.

After the tickets have been deposited in the machine, if there is any difference not covered by the tickets, please pay in cash.

Tatemachi Street has a public bicycle parking area close to the Oval Parking lot, accessible from Tatemachi Street. We have this marked on our “Kanazawa Guide” Google Map.

Guests of Kaname Inn who have folding bicycles and a bag in which to store them may keep their bicycles in their rooms with them.

Turn right when leaving the hotel. At the end of Tatemachi Street, cross the intersection. To the left (south), in front of the shopping mall’s H&M store is the northbound Katamachi bus stop. The Loop Bus, marked [RL], arrives every 15 minutes and will take you to the station, from 9:04 in the morning to 18:31 (6:31 p.m.).

Most—but not all—city buses from this stop run to the station. Look for “金沢駅” on the front display, or you can ask the driver before boarding, “Kanazawa eki?”

You may also choose to turn right (north) instead of left after the Tatemachi Street intersection and head to the Kohrinbo bus stop close to the Starbucks store. Here you can take the Loop Bus, Kenrokuen Shuttle Bus, or most of the city buses to reach the station.

All bus rides from Katamachi and Kohrinbo bus stops to Kanazawa Station will be 200 yen per person (100 yen for 12 and under).

It is possible to book a large taxi, but large taxis on call will charge by the hour, not by the ride. Therefore, we recommend taking two regular taxis if calling them less than 48 hours in advance.

To schedule a large taxi, please let us know two or three days in advance, when possible.

We would be happy to call any restaurant on behalf of guests of Kaname Inn who agree to the following:

Kanazawa’s many privately-owned restaurants adjust their staff and fresh produce purchases in anticipation of the exact number of guests expected. Chefs must also turn away customers in good faith that current reservations will be met. Therefore, in order to maintain friendly relations and to ensure availability for our future guests, Kaname Inn maintains a strict cancellation policy.

1. Once a restaurant reservation has been made, it cannot be changed.
2. In the event that a cancellation is absolutely necessary, notification must be made at least seven days in advance, and cancellation fees may be incurred, depending upon the restaurant.

If you agree, then please let us know as early as possible which restaurant(s) you wish to reserve, for how many people, what time you would like to dine, if you are flexible about the time, and if you have food allergies.

Please also note that restaurants vary greatly on when they begin to take reservations and how quickly they are booked.

Absolutely. Please let us know how many are in your party, when you would like to go, and whether you are flexible about the time. Please also book early for holidays and peak seasons when possible.

Absolutely. After 7:00 p.m. (19:00) and before noon (12:00 p.m.), we can call a taxi directly to the hotel within 10 minutes.

As Tatemachi Street is closed to through-traffic between 12:00 and 7:00 p.m. (12:00 – 19:00), we can call a taxi to meet you nearby.

All guests who book their reservations directly through our website or by email receive breakfast on us.

Guests who prepay through travel agencies (not OTAs) may choose to pay for breakfast meals in advance. Other guests who pay upon check-in will, at that time, be shown that season’s choice of breakfast asked if they would like to add it to their plan.

Kanazawa Music Bar on the first floor (street level) serves lunch and dinner entrees, specializing in French- and Italian inspired cuisine that incorporates regionally-sourced Japanese ingredients of the local Kaga region.

We are constantly adding new articles about our personal food favorites in Kanazawa and on our “Kanazawa Guide” Google Map.

We are also surrounded by restaurant districts. Looking for somewhere to wander into? Head west of us for bars and izakayas along Katamachi’s Shintenchi streets. For restaurants, follow the angular roads in Kaki-no-ki-Batake just northeast before the 21st Century Museum.

Many fine dining and traditional restaurants close on Sunday, and many businesses, like casual restaurants and bars, close on Wednesday, including Kanazawa Music Bar on our first floor. Please keep this in mind when making dinner plans for these days.

Beginning April 1, 2019, the city of Kanazawa instituted an Accommodation Tax on all paid lodging within the city. The price is per person, per room, per night in two price brackets.

• For lodging up to 19,999 yen → 200 yen tax
• For lodging from 20,000 yen → 500 yen tax

The Accommodation Tax is not included in the room charge at the time of booking. (Other taxes are already included, however.)

The Accommodation Tax is applied to all persons occupying the room, regardless of age.
