Lonely Planet review
Run by a friendly Japanese man who did a stint in Southeast Asia as a monk, Pongyi is a charmingly renovated old shop along a mini canal. Cosy dorm beds are located in the attached vintage kura warehouse. The owner loves to involve guests in local festivals and traditions. It's five minutes from Kanazawa Station.
