If you are coming to Japan and you want to have a unique experience that I don't think a lot of tourists get to have, then staying at Totonoya is a wonderful option. A little further away from Kanazawa's city center is this rural countryside inn where the innkeepers and owners are creating something very special for you to enjoy. I did not expect to connect with Japanese people is this way on my first visit to Japan! Everything I did with them, from sharing a meal, to going to an onsen, to everyday conversations just felt special. I genuinely feel like part of the Totonoya family now and was indeed told that I am! Atarashī kazoku ni hontōni arigatō!
