Kanazawa
A visit to the attractions in Kanazawa entails a historical discovery of Japan's unique heritage. In every corner and district, this northwestern city in Ishikawa Prefecture boasts picturesque streetscapes and well-preserved relics dating back to the Edo Period. One of its finest attractions, Kanazawa Castle, draws tourists and locals to explore its restored grandeur, all the way to the towering Hashizume-mon gate, and into the serene gardens of Kenroku-en. Celebrated as one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, the beauty of Kenroku-en blooms under any season. Nearby, rows of teahouses adorn the Higashi Chaya District, where geishas continue to entertain and retain traditional practices.
