Welcome to Kanazawa, our city of gold and gardens, often called "Little Kyoto" for its beautifully preserved history. You can easily spend a day wandering through the old-world charm of the Higashi Chaya geisha district and the Nagamachi samurai quarter, where the atmosphere of Edo-period Japan still lingers in the air. Don't miss Kenrokuen, one of Japan's most stunning landscape gardens, located right next to the impressive Kanazawa Castle. For a taste of local life, head to the bustling Omicho Market for some of the freshest seafood you'll ever have.
