Korinbo or Katamachi: what changes
Korinbo is on the castle-park side; Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel's own directions use the Korinbo Atrio-mae stop and about a 2-minute walk. Katamachi is the evening side; OMO5's directions use a bus to Korinbo and then about a 4-minute walk. Either way you ride a bus from the station.
OMO5 Kanazawa Katamachi
The Machi Bus runs only at weekends and on public holidays, so do not count on it on weekdays. Laundry, lockers and a microwave are hotel facilities, not room amenities. See its card for luggage delivery terms.
Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel
We could not open its room page, so we do not list room sizes or occupancy for it. Use it when the Korinbo side suits you and confirm the room on the hotel's own pages.
Plan the return leg
On arrival and departure days you ride a bus with your luggage. Check the last bus from the station to Korinbo for your arrival time, and on departure day allow for the bus ride and a wait before your train.
Who should not stay here
If your first train leaves early, you carry several large bags, or you plan a Shirakawa-go day trip from the West Exit, the extra bus ride on those days can outweigh the evenings. In that case compare the station hotels first.
