KANAZAWA

Kanazawa is the capital of the Ishikawa prefecture located on the west-coast of Japan’s main island. It is framed by ocean, Alps, National parks and rivers, making it visually diverse with many stunning areas to explore.

Historically, Kanazawa was a large and successful town of the Edo period and was also one of the lucky few cities to be spared from bombing in World War II. Thanks to this, Kanazawa is now full of well-preserved shrines, temples and Edo-era attractions including restored samurai and geisha districts. However most famous is the 17th century Kenrokuen, one of the largest and most beautiful gardens in Japan. The site is a remarkable display of Japanese landscape architecture to be enjoyed from any angle in any season.
