English-speaking hotels near Omicho Market
Although it is not close to the station, the hotel is located about a 5-minute walk from Omicho Market. Omicho Market is on the way from Kanazawa Station to Kenrokuen Garden, so you can also get to Kenrokuen Garden with a single bus. It is accessible by bus or on foot from Kanazawa Station. It is along a main road from the station, so it is a bit far, but you can walk there. It is inexpensive and has a simple structure, so it should be fine if you are not mainly staying at the hotel. Another recommended point is that it has been renovated and is clean.

This hotel has many overseas guests.
The hotel is located right next to Omicho Market, so you can buy delicious seafood there and eat it at the hotel. Many tourist spots around Kanazawa Station, including Kenrokuen, are accessed via Omicho Market, so it's convenient for sightseeing. You can get there by bus or taxi from Kanazawa Station, but you can also walk there. I actually walked to Omicho Market in about 15 minutes, and the sidewalks were wide so it wasn't too difficult. You can also get to Kenrokuen by bus in about 7 minutes. There are more than 10 buses per hour, so it's very convenient. The price is reasonable and the bathroom is clean, so it's recommended for sightseeing. There is also a cafe on the first floor.

Hotel Vista Kanazawa

English is easily spoken at reception desk
It's a 6-minute walk from Kanazawa Station. It's along a main road, so you won't get lost. When I checked in, the person next to me was checking in in English, so I think English is understandable. There were many foreign guests. The room had a bedroom, a bath, a toilet, and a sink. There was a bathtub in the room, and it was easy to use because it was separate from the toilet. However, there is no changing room, so you need to be a little careful if you are using it with someone other than your family. The bed was also perfect for a woman to use alone. There was a table and two chairs in the room, so I had no trouble eating things I bought at the market at the hotel.

There is a large communal bath and a private bath in the room!
It's a little walk from the station, but there's a convenience store nearby so it was quite convenient. It's a different exit from the one where the tourist bus stops are so it feels a little far away, but it was nice because it was quiet. Foreigners are also staying there, and some people checked in in English. The room has a Japanese atmosphere and is small, but it's fine for resting. The toilet and bath are separate, which is convenient. There was a bathtub in the room so I was able to take a long soak. There was also a large public bath, so if you want to soak in a large bath, you can use that.

Nakayasu Ryokan
Check out the reviews from Japanese people!
A long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) where you can feel the history of Japan
This is a long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) with a long history of over 100 years. The guest rooms are Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats, so it is recommended if you want to experience a traditional Japanese room or sleeping on a futon. Breakfast is served at the dining area, and dinner is served to your room. Ryokan (Japanese inn) room dining is common at inns, so it is rare to be able to choose in-room dining at this price range. This inn takes pride in the fact that the chef himself purchases seafood every morning. As a result, the menu focuses on seafood, such as Japanese kaiseki and seafood bowls. If you are not comfortable with raw fish, you may want to choose the yosenabe, which requires a reservation.
