Food and facilities

Hotel Nikko Kanazawa is a gourmand’s delight: the difficult part is settling for which of the eight restaurants to make for. Benkay is your go-to for delicious Japanese cuisine, rustled up using fresh, seasonal ingredients (naturally). Head to the top floor for the sleek, candlelit Sky Lounge, which attracts a well-heeled clientele with its unbeatable views and cocktails. The hotel serves up an award-winning breakfast to write home about: traditional Japanese for the intrepid traveller, as well as Western options for those less so.

Meander through Kanazawa’s streets with a rental bike from the hotel; you can easily reach the area’s top attractions this way. Discover Kanazawa Castle, an impressive monochromic abode rich in history, which you can learn about from one of the local guides here.
