The location was just off Matsuyama doori leading to Kiyozumi temple and just a stone throws away from Rokudo Chinnoji, a very famous temple worth visiting. Great supermarket nearby and quaint local shops to satisfy your taste buds as well as local artisan items worthy of taking home. Alex is a great host and takes care of his property and it was in immaculate condition. I will definitely come back!

We had a fantastic time at this house.  Thank you very much.

The location is very good. You can feel the everyday life of Kanazawa.  Thank you very much.

The house is located in a residential area and is quiet at night. You can walk to sightseeing spots such as Higashi Chaya District and Kenrokuen Garden, and a convenient location for parking lots and convenience stores within a few minutes. I was able to walk along the Asano River in a few minutes on foot, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the scenery was very beautiful. There is art everywhere on the walls of the building, which is very nice! You can spend a very relaxing and calm time with Japanese-style accessories and a delicious green. It was easy to work on my computer at the house. There are plenty of tables, WiFi, and power supplies and you can have a delicious coffee or tea. It's a tidy and beautiful space where you can work more quickly than at home ^^ With my family, I had a tatami mat and a sofa so I could feel at home. It was very clean and I didn't feel any inconvenience. The staff who accepted the reception were also very good. I didn't have any trouble communicating. It was a very cozy space and it was an instant hit with my family. If we have the opportunity again, we would love to come back.

It's compact, but the space has an atmosphere of an old Japanese house well restored. Also, the kitchen, toilet and bathroom were clean, and the washing machine was equipped with a dryer, making it very convenient. I had a very nice month. I hope to come back. Recommended property!

Beautiful house, we would like to come back!!!! !the house is very clean and very well located.

[FR] Le seul (très petit) bémol : vaisselle un peu « pauvre ». Mais ce n’est absolument pas un obstacle à un séjour très réussi. [EN] The only (very small) downside: dishes a little "poor". But this is absolutely not an obstacle to a very successful stay.

Recommended. Extra recommended with a car to allow extra exploration.We enjoyed our stay so much! Your recommendation were on point. I got a little sick (unrelated to the accommodation) and I imagine some in the future will as well. We had a wonderful time. Takayama is truly beautiful. Thank you!

Saigawa House is a fantastic rental - very practical and well equipped, and an easy space for a family. The check in process was fantastic, and the house is in a great location - right next to the samurai district, and an easy walk to the castle/Kenrokuen/Omicho market.

Very clean & well equipped house.

This was our favourite place during all our stay in Japan, it is beautifully traditional but installed with hi-tech comforts like a remote to switch the light off (definitely a luxury when you are tucked into bed). Gwenn was a fantastic host and very responsive. Would recommend this place and would come back to stay if visiting Takayama again.

Great location and the hosts are very attentive. Highly recommend

Different from hotels and ryokans, I think people can have a great time here.  We enjoyed our time at this rental house.

Great place great value and great host! Highly recommend this place as it is just walking distance from tourist attraction and one thing for sure Gwenn is such a great host! Thank you for being such a great host Gwenn! We had a great time in Takayama and we’re in love with Takayama! Thanx for all the great tips!

Great place, very keen close to everything.
