- Ways to Experience Kanazawa -
KOTOTOKI is a former teahouse dating back to the late Edo period, nestled in the heart of Kanazawa's historic Higashi Chaya District.
Preserved within the property are a traditional tea room, an ice cellar, a historic well, and a tranquil Japanese garden—rare features that offer an authentic glimpse into the elegance of a bygone age.
Rather than simply staying in a historic building, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the lifestyle, culture, and traditions that once shaped daily life in Edo-era Kanazawa.
