Hotel Kanazawa in Kanazawa City is launching a new "Premium Banquet Plan" from May 1, 2026, designed for business occasions such as anniversaries, ceremonies, and important entertainment events, as well as special gatherings to mark life milestones. The plan makes use of carefully selected Hokuriku ingredients and is priced at ¥20,000 per person (tax and service charges included).
Two Course Options
