[Yuya-Ruru-Saisai](http://www.yuyarurusaisai.jp/en/) is a hotel in [[Kanazawa (金沢市)]]. We stayed there for three nights: [[2024-09-16]], [[2024-09-17]], and [[2024-09-18]] (departing [[2024-09-19]]). When we arrived, we found out that the person at the front desk used to live in [Victoria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria,_British_Columbia) and [Abbotsford](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbotsford,_British_Columbia)--both close to [Vancouver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver), where we're from. ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_6618.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4552.png]] The lounge had a map of the local area, pointing out common attractions and restaurants. They also seemed to be a hub for runners. They had a bunch of posters and photos related to running, advertisements for the [Kanazawa Marathon](https://www.kanazawa-marathon.jp/), and a corner of the hotel where you could rent running shoes. ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4498.png]] Our room had a large living room area, including a sun room and a [shikibuton (敷き布団)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futon). ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9344.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4501.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4503.png]] The bedroom was large and included yukata for us to wear around the hotel. ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9347.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9346.png]] There was a bathroom, a room for bathing and showering, and common laundry facilities available down the hall. ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9345.png]] There was also a public bathing area for hotel residents. ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9350.png]] For breakfast, the hotel had a buffet-style dining area with a beautiful view of the [Sai River (犀川)](https://maps.app.goo.gl/DtRy2gnw1TZ6ysPf7). ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4562.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4563.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9381.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9497.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_9561.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_6831.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4560.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4996.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_4997.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_5219.png]] ![[yuya-ruru-saisai IMG_6652.png]]
