​Kanazawa

Stroll back in time in Kanazawa
Kanazawa is sometimes called “little Kyoto” and for good reason: It’s packed with first-rate sights, including one of the country’s best gardens, some great museums and several beautifully preserved neighborhoods.

Look beneath Kanazawa’s sleek urban surface and you’ll find dozens of sophisticated, delightful and thought-provoking crafts and traditions. Offering – and in fact specialising – in sushi and sake, gold leaf and ceramics, as well as modern art, architecture and Zen Buddhism, Kanazawa and the adjacent Noto Peninsula are hands-down the best places to discover Japan’s world-famous craftsmanship.

Kanazawa is a relatively compact city with a fine group of sights located around a green core formed by Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenroku-en Garden (both among the city’s best sights). Within easy distance of the central core are some fantastic districts of traditional houses that used to serve as the city’s entertainment districts.
