A Unique Blend of Traditional Japanese Architecture and Modern Comfort
KENROKUTEI OYADO is a private machiya stay with more than 120 years of history. Through repeated renovations, the house has been carefully adapted for today's guests while preserving its original character.
This Meiji-era building is known as our Samurai House. Its lower ceiling heights, designed for the average stature of people in earlier times, let you directly feel the scale and atmosphere of historical Japanese living.
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.
