Kanazawa

Kanazawa is often referred to as "little Kyoto" and enchants with an elegant blend of history and modernity. The harbour lies quietly on the Sea of Japan and invites you to take relaxing walks with a view of the coast, while the city centre with its old samurai and geisha quarters offers a journey back in time to the Edo period. The city is famous for its filigree gold leaf art and the Kenrokur-en - one of the most beautiful gardens in Japan - where a new, tranquil beauty unfolds every season. Kanazawa combines culture, craftsmanship and aesthetics to create a fascinating overall experience.
