The accommodations in Kanazawa
For the travelers who want to attend the light-up event but not able to stay overnight in Shirakawago, we selected some accommodations that have good review and near the train station in Kanazawa. You can enter the booking.com just by clicking the picture for more information and book it directly.
Compare with Takayama, there are more accommodations in Kanazawa, however, it takes a longer time to go to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa (about 80 minutes). Therefore, please notice that when you come back from the light-up event, it might be too late to take a bus. So taking a taxi or staying at a hotel that near the train station is a better alternative. We categorized accommodations into three different types.
