Explore Kanazawa, Japan
Why Kanazawa?
An intriguing city with a fascinating ancient samurai district
Kanazawa boasts many historic attractions such as restored residences and Edo-era districts, as well as modern museums, markets, regional handicrafts and art. The old castle town and adjacent districts such as the Nagamachi samurai district and chaya entertainment districts remain in good condition and are ideally explored on foot. Kanazawa's unchallenged main attraction is Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan's "three best landscape gardens". Also well worth a visit are Omicho Market, packed with stalls selling freshly caught seafood, fruit and vegetables and other produce, and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art which showcases art produced since 1980.
