Things to do in Kanazawa, where you can see beautiful historic Japan, temples and shrines without the crowds of Kyoto.
Continuing my series about places from my Japan wishlist, where I'd most like to go in Japan, Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture's often known as little Kyoto. You can explore historic, preserved streets, see old houses, geisha and samurai districts, Japanese gardens, temples and shrines. In the video I share why I'd like to go there and how to get there on the train from Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya and on the Hokuriku shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo. There are lots of things to do: teahouses in Higashi Chaya, Kenrokuen garden, the castle park, Nagamachi the samurai district, Myoryuji (also known as Ninjadera, the ninja temple!), Utatsuyama Park, a sake brewery, kimono rental and where to get gold leaf ice cream. There are also ideas for day trips from Kanazawa around the Chubu region.
