Fodor's Expert Review Yogetsu
1-13-22 Higashiyama, Kanazawa, Ishikawa-ken, 920-0831, Japan
In a century-old geisha house in the Eastern Pleasure Quarter, Yogetsu is a small, stylish minshuku. The owner is a welcoming hostess and keeps a neat shared bath. The guest rooms are small and sparsely furnished, but rustic exposed beams add character. Only the second-floor rooms are air-conditioned. A traditional Japanese-style breakfast is included, but the owner is happy to adapt to Western tastes.
PROS
- quiet location
- charming atmosphere
- lovely owner
CONS
