A rustic rural town. A big city with skyscrapers. A scenic tourist city. Each has its own history, its own culture, and its own atmosphere. No two towns are the same, and each has its own original story, which has led it to this day. At Resol Hotels, we were born to weave the unique stories that are rooted in each region, and to become a miniature version of the town. Just as each town has its own unique shape, we welcome our visitors with a different face, each one with its own unique character. Some places make you feel like you've landed in medieval Europe, while others give you the feeling of comfort of a familiar local shop. And once you step outside, you can experience the colors, sounds, and smells that are unique to that town, which you would not notice if you were just passing by. Resol Hotels offer you a time that is one of a kind in the world. It's an intimate experience where you can experience the history of the city, the culture that has taken root, and the atmosphere that surrounds you.

Hotel Resol Trinity Kanazawa

All tourist spots in Kanazawa are within walking distance. Omicho Market is a one-minute walk away, making it a convenient location for sightseeing in Kanazawa. We welcome you with colorful flowers and Kaga Temari art.

A store to promote Komatsu Matere

Komatsu Matere combines the artisan techniques it has cultivated over the 80 years since its founding with the historic culture of Ishikawa Prefecture, where the company was founded, to develop a variety of products that will brighten up your everyday life.

The Higashi Chaya District store "Matere" has about 100 items, mainly fashion and lifestyle goods. "Matere" is not just a souvenir shop, but is operated as a store to promote "Komatsu Matere" as a company.

"Retail work is not just about selling things," says Okubo.

In order to allow more people to try out Komatsu Matere fabrics, it is important that they let people see products made with their unique materials.

We will introduce three particularly recommended items from among those available at Matere, which has also attracted attention as a base for brand promotion.

The heavenly maiden's feather robe, representative of "Matere"

"Tennin no Hagoromo" are shawls and scarves made from an extremely thin material woven with threads that are about one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. As these products can only be purchased at "Matere", they attract die-hard fans from all over the country.

The material used is polyester and silk, and it is so light that it is not a burden to wear. Despite its thinness, it has good heat retention, so it can be worn not only in summer but also in winter.

The greatest attraction is the beautiful appearance that can only be experienced with the soft, lustrous shine of the "Tennin no Hagoromo."

They are not only used as stoles or scarves, but also as stage props.

Mate-mono: Turning "Mottainai" into "Never-seen-before"

"Mate-mono" is an original brand of Komatsu Matere that utilizes materials that would otherwise be thrown away and is designed to avoid waste during the manufacturing process.

The brand "mate-mono" was born out of a desire to eliminate fabric waste, as a result of having previously disposed of fabric. Each product has a "story."

For example, our product "Sukeru Bag" is made from the same material used to cover the grass on soccer fields.

The fabric is transparent and glossy, and has a plump silhouette with the firmness that is unique to industrial materials.

g-cube x Kutani ware, using cutting-edge materials that are environmentally friendly

"Green Bis" is a special material made from recycled waste generated during the dyeing process.

Greenbiz, which features excellent insulation, water permeability, breathability, and water retention, is an advanced material that is attracting attention as a paving block and soil improvement material for fields. The interior made using this feature is "g-cube x Kutani ware", an incense that does not use fire or electricity.

This "g-cube x Kutani ware" can also be enjoyed on our hotel's "Concept Floor Rei" and "Concept Floor Yu." Each floor offers two exclusive scents that are exclusive to our hotel.

Concept Floor "Yuu" - Kanazawa - "Eternal Light"

Concept Floor "Yuu" - Kanazawa - "Eternal Light" is a floor with furnishings and fixtures designed under the supervision of a female designer with the theme of "enjoying time in your room."

Concept floor "Rei" - Kanazawa - "Quiet brilliance"

Concept Floor "Rei" - Kanazawa - "Quiet Sparkle" is a women-only floor that has been renovated with women in mind in every detail. Enjoy a safe and secure stay with full floor security.

You can also purchase "g-cube x Kutani ware" at the hotel front desk. Two scents are available exclusively at this hotel.
