10.0“Traditional experience”
+It was a traditional Japanese house - the whole house, not a room in a house. Easily room for 5-6 people. There were 2 of us. Our host, Yumiko, was wonderfully attentive. She coordinated with us in advance, picked us up at the train station, and even dropped us off again at the end of our stay. She sent us a note the morning after our first night, just to check in.

9.0“Authentic and very comfortable Japanese home, ideal for guests travelling independently by car”
+The house is a true Japanese machya house in a quiet location, close to all the main attractions if one has a car. There are very good car parking facilities nearby and great restaurants too. The owner is very friendly and obliging, always available to provide advice and lend a hand.
−It would have been nice if there could have been a screen to make the entrance more private from the street, so that passerbys would not be able to peek inside while guests are in the premises.

10.0+We loved our stay in Kanazawa at Guest House Ui-ca. Yumiko-san was a lovely hostess, even picking up our luggage from the train station so we didnt have to carry anything. The accomodation is geat too with all its different rooms and the traditional Japanese bath. We would love to stay here again, if we have the chance to visit another time!

10.0“Sfeervol, authentiek en heel bijzonder!”
+Logeren in een prachtig 150 jaar oud Machiya-huis is echt een mooie ervaring. Yumeko was een geweldige host, zeer behulpzaam. Onze dochter had kiespijn, ze heeft ons geholpen een goede tandarts te vinden. Ook boekte ze een geweldig restaurant voor ons. Het huis zelf is sfeervol, traditioneel en ligt in een heel mooie buurt. Echt een aanrader!

10.0“Páratlan élmény, ha Kanazawába utazol”
+A szállásadó Yumiko san kedves, mindenre kiterjedő figyelemmel látott minket vendégül. Csodálatos volt a fogadtatás, örök élmény marad. A szállás tradicionális machiya, mégis minden kényelemmel ellátott. Az elhelyezkedés is kiváló volt, köszönjük Yumiko san ezt a feledhetetlen élményt.
