Introducing Kanazawa
Blessed with a number of cultural attractions, Kanazawa is a highlight for visitors to Hokuriku. It is most famed for Kenroku-en, the fine former castle garden that dates from the 17th century. The experience is rounded out by handsome streetscapes of the former geisha and samurai districts, attractive temples and a great number of museums for a city of its size.

The city’s main sights can be seen in a leisurely two days, and side trips to Noto-hantō and Eihei-ji in Fukui-ken are highly recommended.
