A little piece of Kanazawa. Everything is thought of. A true Japanese experience.

Excellent location and super helpful host! Definitely recommend.

Bel organisation au niveau de l'accueil dans les maisons. Être reçu par une personne qui parle notre langue c'est tout de même très appréciable. Il nous donne toutes les explications et conseils sur la maison, sur le quartier et sur la ville. Il reste en contact avec nous tout au long du séjour. Nous étions rassurés de savoir qu'en cas de problème nous pouvions demander conseil à notre Travel Angel. Merci à Daisuke et à Vivre le Japon. De plus votre équipe est très réactive dans les échanges de mail.

Lovely traditional house in a great spot super close to gardens and castle. Well equipped with loads of space and heaps of local tips from the host. Highly recommended.

This is still the best house experience we’ve had. We liked it so much we came back a second year running. Kanazawa is a great place to visit and this is a perfect base to do so.

Je ne peux que recommander les services de Vivre le Japon. La maison Koyasu à Kyoto fut une excellente pause dans notre voyage familial grâce à son charme et au quartier environnant ainsi qu'un excellent point de départ pour la découverte de la ville. Il nous faut saluer aussi l'accueil souriant et très compétent de notre hôtesse Aurore qui ne ménage pas son temps et sa disponibilité pour répondre à tous les questionnements et qui connait très bien les ressources du quartier en restaurants sympas et bars typiques ! Merci et bravo à tous!

This place is perfect for a group stay or family stay who wishes to experience a true japanese lifestyle. The house can be a bit drafty during winter, which was when we went, but the heater was enough for the living rooms and the bedrooms. Amenities were great, there was even a first aid kit. All in all, it was an experience I definitely would come back to given the opportunity.  

Those looking for a traditionally-styled house in Kanazawa should look no further. Absolutely beautiful home in walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and the famed samurai district, and the host was extremely communicative and even offered a handful of recommendations for things to do in town. I truly have no criticisms to give. Lovely place, lovely town!

Thank you for the cozy stay!

Gwenn keeps the house well and clean. He also offers good information to guests. The heaters are sufficient inside in every room, especially the warm table is very pratical in the cold winter. Our two little daughters enjoyed their time very much in the big house.

Wow wow wow! Beautiful traditional accommodation in a perfect quiet little street that was close to restaurants, the samurai district and everything else you want to see in Kanazawa! Chris and Cedric thank you so much for an incredible stay! You guys really went above and beyond any other rental houses I have stayed at!!! Loved meeting you and getting a run down of the city, restaurants and things to do was extremely valuable.  

Authentic Japanese Machiya! Clean, great location, cute cozy decor, and great hospitality by Cedric. Close to restaurants and nightlife downtown, convenient for site seeing, and close to a hot spring to relax after a day of exploring (Manten no Yu). Would stay again!! 

Thanks Gwenn for being such a great host! A super cosy japanese homestay and we simply love it! We got clear instructions/guide from Gwenn about the house and this really help us without any need to text him during our stay. The kitchen is well equipped and we get to prepare our own breakfast. We waited for the snow but it didnt arrived at Takayama (p/s: we wanted to enjoy some snow in the garden) 

Thank you for all your recommendations! The house is so awesome that we feel so at home and we are going to miss this beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood. Thank you again for everything. We wish you all the best and definitely 1 million of stars for being such an awesome super host!!!!

One of the most greatest experience of renting a house! Really cozy house for us to stay! Would love to come back again ! 

[EN] Very clean and well located. The space was like a restaurant and was very nice! We would like to come again! Thank you very much! [JP] とても綺麗で立地も良く、お店のような空間がとても素敵でした！また来たいです！ありがとうございました！

Il serait préférable que le prix inclut les frais annexes (draps, ménage, travel angel) Certaines parties de la maison sont très froides à cette période. Nous avons vraiment beaucoup apprécié notre expérience avec Vivre le japon. Les maisons proposées s'adaptaient parfaitement à nos besoins. Avec deux adultes et deux enfants nous étions heureux de retrouver un lieu spacieux, nous permettant de nous sentir comme chez nous et avec toutes les commodités nécessaires (cuisine, machine à laver). Avoir un interlocuteur français sur place était aussi d'une vrai plus-value. Très rassurant et aidant d'autant que nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer deux travel angels particulièrement sympathiques et très accueillants (Pierre Alexandre à Tokyo et Aurore à Kyoto). Je recommande.

This is a lovely house in a terrific location. The manager has excellent communication and everything was just as described.

This place is gorgeous, a beautiful old and traditional home. We found the house really comfortable and it was well situated being close to the main part of town but in a quiet residential area. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place to stay and a great host who gave us excellent local tips to make our short stay so enjoyable.
