'Tokisora' machiya house: a beautifully renovated Kanazawa-style traditional holiday house (vacation rental). This charming two-story townhouse is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the bustling Omicho Market and is a short stroll from the grand Kanazawa Castle.

Nestled in a picturesque street lined with other traditional machiya homes, 'Tokisora' provides a tranquil and authentic experience of Kanazawa's local life. Thoughtfully renovated to ensure comfort in all seasons, 'Tokisora' features modern amenities such as floor heating and double entrance doors that maintain comfortable temperatures year-round. The private, in-house dry sauna offers a perfect retreat to rejuvenate after a day of sightseeing, regardless of the season.

Step into the main room on the first floor, which seamlessly combines a fully equipped kitchen, living area, serene garden view, traditional tatami room, and a large projector screen for entertainment. The luxurious main bathroom boasts a double-basin vanity, a deep soaking tub overlooking the garden, a cold plunge bath, and an optional dry sauna experience.

The second floor features two spacious bedrooms. The classic tatami room comfortably accommodates up to 3 guests on traditional futon bedding, while the western-style bedroom features a king bed for up to 2 guests. For added convenience, an additional shower room and bidet are also available on the second floor.

A little background on how ‘Tokisora’ earned its name: The name ‘Tokisora’ combines the Japanese characters for “time” (時), “season” (季), and “sky” (空), evoking the idea of a machiya space where guests can lose track of time, like clouds drifting across the sky. During your stay at ‘Tokisora,’ escape the bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in tranquil relaxation.
