📍 Destination Overview
Kanazawa is an old town in Hokuriku and the cultural capital of the Kaga million-koku domain. Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three great gardens, is beautiful in every season; in winter its 'yukitsuri' snow cages brace the old pines like umbrella ribs. In the lattice townhouses of Higashi Chaya district, geisha culture and gold-leaf craft have been passed down through generations. Omicho Market brims with the fresh seafood of the Sea of Japan, while the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is stylishly avant-garde. Having survived the wars and preserved its Edo townscape intact, this old city distills Kaga's elegance, craft and cuisine into the most charming stop in Hokuriku.
