1. A landscape that harmonizes the character of a castle town with natural beauty
Kenrokuen is considered one of Japan's top three gardens and is a garden with beautiful changes throughout the four seasons. Next to it is Kanazawa Castle Park, where the castle, stone walls, and turrets convey the depth of history.
By staying in this kind of scenery, you can travel not just as a tourist destination, but as a journey that feels "deep in time."
2. Townscapes and experiences where tradition and modernity intertwine
In areas where the teahouse district, samurai residences, and townhouses remain, you will have the opportunity to walk around wearing Japanese clothes and see and touch craftsmanship such as gold leaf crafts, lacquerware, and Kutani ware.
3. Food culture and market experience rich in seafood
Omicho Market in the city sells seafood, vegetables, fermented foods, and more, and travelers can add a "Kanazawa-style breakfast" or a "walk through the market" to their itinerary. In addition, like the crafts, there are also food presentations that are unique to Kanazawa, such as "gold leaf sweets," which are sure to leave a memorable impression on your trip.
4. Level of development and access as a reception/base
Since the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, access from Tokyo and Osaka has improved dramatically, making it extremely easy to use as a base for your itinerary. The city is well-equipped with a well-balanced range of accommodations, restaurants, and cultural experience facilities, making it easy to accommodate groups, inbound tourists, and wealthy travelers.
