Kanazawa's Absolute Essentials

Kanazawa preserves centuries of history through its Edo-period Kenrokuen garden and the Nagamachi samurai district. The city's geisha culture thrives in the Higashi Chaya and Kazuemachi districts, while Omicho Market offers fresh local seafood. Architectural landmarks range from the historic Ishikawa Gate to the futuristic Kanazawa Station and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. Unique spiritual sites include the Myoryuji temple, known for its defensive hidden passages, and the stained-glass gate of Oyama-jinja Shrine.
