A high-rise hotel and apartment project has been floated for a long-idle site in front of Kanazawa Station, with the landowner, Kintetsu Real Estate, proposing what could end up becoming the tallest building along Japan’s western coast.
The 4,500 square meter site has been vacant for seven years. It was once home to the 193-room Kanazawa Miyako Hotel - the first city hotel in Kanazawa when it opened in 1963.
