Selected as one of the world's 14 most beautiful train stations. The Motenashi (Welcome) Dome was designed to represent an umbrella being held out to greet visitors, while Tsuzumi-mon Gate is meant to evoke the type of drum used in traditional performing arts. A great place for photos!
Nicknamed "Otokogawa," or "Manly River," for its mighty flow. A lovely place for a breather, to enjoy the beautiful view of the river and the mountains.
Once the homes of the feudal lord's retainers, and even today still in use by the people of Kanazawa. The old earthen walls, narrow stone-paved roads, and irrigation channels have a charming old-fashioned feel.
This sculpture was selected as the winner of a 2004 art competition that drew entries from around the world. It represents the city's drive to continuously move forward, adopting and creating new values.
Built in 1873, and dedicated to both Maeda Toshiie (the feudal lord who founded the Kaga Domain, where Kanazawa is now located) and his wife, Omatsu no Kata. Walkers and joggers are welcome to climb the stairs and pass through the shrine grounds.
Established in 1721, the so-called “kitchen of Kanazawa” has been a beloved part of the city's food culture ever since. Some shops open quite early in the morning, making it a fun place to drop by.
