Mitsumaya – Three Townhouses on the Hills of Kanazawa Mitsumaya is a set of three renovated townhouses quietly nestled on the Kodatsuno Plateau, a highland in Kanazawa. The area is called “Ishibiki,” named after the historical path where stones were pulled to build Kanazawa Castle. Slightly removed from the busy center, Ishibiki retains the calm atmosphere of everyday local life. Just a five-minute walk away, the Ishibiki shopping street is lined with unique local spots—such as a small-batch coffee roaster, a long-established oden restaurant, bars, a bakery, a risograph print shop, and a lifestyle boutique. Mitsumaya is within walking distance of Kenrokuen Garden and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. The path from the inn to the museum is filled with lush greenery and historic architecture—more like a local walking trail than a tourist route. To reach the D.T. Suzuki Museum, we recommend taking the hidden path called “Bijutsu no Komichi,” where you’ll feel the quiet spirit of Kanazawa. Each townhouse has been thoughtfully renovated by local craftspeople, preserving the beauty of aged wood and fittings while adding comfort. Traditional materials like earthen walls and hand-plastered shikkui give a warm, gentle texture to the spaces. Each building has a unique design, but all are made for a comfortable stay. All rooms feature our original bath amenity line, SUYIN, created in collaboration with Kanazawa-based perfumer Qure aromablend. Inspired by the city’s many rainy days, its scent evokes three poetic moments in the Kanazawa landscape. We invite you to enjoy the quiet rhythm of the city, wrapped in comfort and calm.
