Kanazawa

About Kanazawa

Kanazawa sits on the Sea of Japan coast in Ishikawa Prefecture and, with around 460,000 residents, is the largest city in the Hokuriku region. The historic Nagamachi (長町) quarter preserves earthen walls and canals dating to the samurai era. Quieter corners of the city include neighbourhood parks such as 子来町さくら公園 and the temple 照教寺, which remain part of everyday local life. The city appeals to travellers looking for well-preserved Japanese urban heritage and a slower pace, away from the country's busiest tourist routes.
