Celebrating Our 7th Anniversary
Special Event: Kaga Yuzen & Kaga Gosai Themed Afternoon Tea
Date & Time: March 14 (Sat), 2026 | 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
To celebrate our 7th anniversary in March 2026, we are delighted to host a special event, “Afternoon Tea: Kaga Yuzen & Kaga Gosai,” inviting you to immerse yourself in the traditional beauty of Kanazawa.
During this period, we will be showcasing a vibrant furisode (long-sleeved kimono) and a sophisticated homongi (semi-formal kimono) created by Kaga Yuzen artist Tomohide Niinou. This display offers a rare opportunity to appreciate up close, the meticulous craftsmanship nurtured within the local samurai culture. Complementing this visual experience, our afternoon service features five varieties of tea sweets inspired by “Kaga Gosai”—the five traditional colors of Kaga Yuzen. We invite you to immerse yourself in the artistry and tradition of Kanazawa through this harmonious blend of visual and culinary delights.
Hotel Intergate Kanazawa is dedicated to sharing the charm of local traditions through its interior design and cultural experiences. This commitment is woven into the very fabric of our hotel—from the front desk’s back tiles to the lounge walls, which feature designs inspired by the “Kaga Gosai” color palette. We invite you to explore and connect with the rich cultural heritage of Kanazawa throughout your stay.
