Kanazawa is home to some of the best preserved buildings and districts in Japan, and is especially well-known for Kenrokuen, known as the most beautiful garden in Japan.
We recommend the following activities in Kanazawa:
- Eating fresh seafood at Kanazawa: Kanazawa has access to the Sea of Japan, making it home to some of the freshest sashimi and sushi in Japan.
- Enjoy Japanese tradition at tea houses: the tea houses, or chaya, of Kanazawa have been preserved since the Edo period, and many are still in operation while others have been recognized as cultural artifacts and converted to museums. We recommend the Higashi Chaya District, home to museums, tea houses, and other shops and restaurants.
- Visit Kanazawa Castle: Kanazawa Castle is home to several free of charge walking paths, where you can admire the castle turrets and gardens. We especially recommend Gyokusenin Maru garden!
- Experience striking scenery at Kenrokuen Garden: Kenrokuen Garden is one of Japan's 3 most beautiful landscape gardens, boasting seasonal flowering trees, elaborate aquatic features including waterfalls, fountains, still ponds, and more.
