Highlights

Kanazawa is located on Honshu, Japan's Main Island, and lies on the coast between the mountains and the sea. It is a modern city yet has a history and is one of Japan's foremost castle towns.

The city boasts many places of historic and aesthetic interest, such as the splendid Kenrokuen, known as one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan, and lshikaw a-mon, the commanding gate to the old castle grounds.

In Kanazawa, one is acutely aware of the change in seasons. Not only is Kanazawa's natural scenery a colorful delight year-round, but every seasonal change is so carefully celebrated in Kanazawa's traditional cuisine, decor and yearly events that one comes to feel as if there are many more than four seasons.
