Historical Significance

This location holds historical significance in Kanazawa. During the Edo period, it was the residence of Kaeriyama Sukeuemon, who served for 19 years in Edo as an official textile merchant for the fourth Tokugawa Shogun, Ietsuna.

After returning to Kanazawa, Sukeuemon lived here to the age of 105, and his mother also lived past 100. The current Meiji-era house has more than 120 years of history, has been renovated multiple times, and is now operated as a private stay while preserving its Samurai House character and traditional low ceiling proportions.

Is the house comfortable in all seasons?

Because this is a 120-year-old Japanese house, we maintain it carefully, but it may feel a little cold in winter and a little warm in summer. We are not a luxury hotel; our concept is to enjoy Japan's four seasons and traditional culture.
