Introducing how to get to Kanazawa from Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka
The Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Tsuruga will open on March 16, 2024. As the Hokuriku area continues to attract attention, we will introduce access information to Kanazawa, where you can enjoy charming townscapes, traditional cultural experiences, and fresh seafood.
If you are visiting Kanazawa, we recommend staying at Hotel Resol Trinity Kanazawa .
We respect the culture and art rooted in the land and sublimate it into design. We wanted the hotel itself to be a microcosm of the town, so we focused on the space, furnishings, and even the atmosphere. This is a hotel full of attention to detail.
