The weather in Kanazawa is changeable. Since the city gets a relatively large amount of rain, there is a proverb that translates as "Even if you forget your packed lunch, don't forget your umbrella." We recommended that you always be prepared with rain gear such as your umbrella when going out sightseeing.

Welcome to Kanazawa! The items that we are featuring here are just one small part of

Kanazawa. The city's identity is made up of many characteristics that

cannot be found in other Japanese cities. Be sure to experience for

yourself all of the various "Kanazawas" that are scattered about the city

and are integral parts of it.

Experience Kanazawa!In June of 2009, Kanazawa was

appointed into the "Crafts and Folk

Art" category for UNESCO's

"Creative Cities Network".

City of Crafts

In close proximity to both the sea and the mountains, Kanazawa is blessed with geographical conditions that are conducive to an abundance of good food. Moreover, the city's gastronomic culture has been influenced by the delicate and exquisite culture of the feudal period. During all four seasons, many tourists from all over Japan gather here to experience the exquisite flavors of Kanazawa's food.

Would you like to experience the

techniques of Kanazawa's delicate

and elegant traditional crafts?

There are many crafts to

experience from pasting gold leaf,

to the stencil dying of Kaga Yuzen,

to even making your own Wagashi

and much more.

Dining

Hands-on-experience

Kanazawa is a city that preserves

its traditional culture in the

way, you will see how the old and

the new coexist.

L Guide to Recommended Activities

"Light-up" Bus


Kanazawa's hot springs

Kanazawa by night - Lit-up places to walk

The beautiful lit-up spots in Kanazawa

are perfect for an evening stroll.

You can take the "Light-up" Bus to

each of these spots.

Here you can find out about 21st-century artistic

activities from all over the world. The museum

building is characterized by its striking circular

glass wall.

With its new greenery in the spring, crimson leaves in the fall, and snowy winter scenery, this hot spring has been visited by many of Japan's well-known people. It has a particularly strong connection with the painter Takehisa Yumeji, who is famous for his paintings of beautiful women. Al-so, there is an "ice room" that has been used every year since ancient times to store natural snow un-til the summer, as well as related events.

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa / Kenrokuen Garden and Vicinity

One can summarize the attraction of present-day Kanazawa as "coexistence of mod-

ernity and tradition". For example, by simply venturing a little distance away from

the downtown area that bustles with young people, you can come across a street-

scape dating back several centuries. This is the area that symbolizes the attraction

of present-day Kanazawa. The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kana-

zawa exhibits a wide range of modern art by artists from all over the world; you

can spend a long time there without tiring of the exhibits. Kanazawa Castle Park is

a symbol of Kanazawa's traditional culture, and Kenrokuen Garden was created as

the castle garden by successive generations of lords, beginning more that 300 years

ago. As one of the three most famous gardens of Japan, it attracts many tourists.

This area, in which newness and traditional culture coexist, is truly representative

of modern-day Kanazawa.

Access information

The recently opened 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is the most fascinating of all of the art museums that I have visited. Its collection includes two works from my home country of Belgium, and the museum's modern feel, which contrasts with the traditional character of Kanazawa, is alluring. Kenrokuen Garden is a place where you can go to relax any time. Because Japan has distinct seasons, unlike Belgium, you can enjoy different scenery while walking around at different times of the year.

Korinbo / Kata-machi / Naga-machi and Vicinity

The area that comprises Ishikawa Prefecture, where Kanazawa is located, Toyama

Prefecture to the east, and Fukui Prefecture to the west is called Hokuriku.

Korinbo/Katamachi is the largest commercial area in Hokuriku. With its

concentration of various kinds of people and shops, it is the most important center

for both people and products in this area. If you are walking around looking for a

place to have lunch or dinner, or to have tea, this is probably the area where you can

enjoy yourself the most. People looking for typical Kanazawa dishes, or those who

miss the tastes of their home country can probably find the type of restaurant they

are looking for here. Of course, this area is also recommended for shopping, and for

people who want to spend an evening in Kanazawa enjoying some good drinks.

If you go a little beyond the commercial district, you can walk through Nagamachi,

an area that brings to mind the streetscape of samurai days. In this area there are

also samurai residences and museums that evoke the lifestyle of the feudal period, so

if you are interested in samurais and their culture, you should definitely go and have

a look.

I recommend Japanese-style pubs.

Korinbo and Kata-machi, both very lively and

fun areas, are my favorite places in Kanazawa.

As the stores along the main streets are in

covered arcades, you can enjoy window

shopping without having to worry about rain

or snow. For eating out in the evening, I

recommend a Japanese-style pub. Eating and

drinking in a relaxed atmosphere is conducive

to good conversation.

Kanazawa Station / Musashigatsuji / Owari-cho and Vicinity

The glass dome of Kanazawa Station has the nickname of "Motenashi Dome".

Motenashi means "welcoming" or "entertainment"; it is a word that indicates

good treatment of guests. The dome expresses the hospitality of the citizens of

Kanazawa, who kindly greet and send off people who come to visit the rainy city,

in the hope that they will not get wet when starting their journey.

Omi-cho Market, said to be the "kitchen of the citizens of Kanazawa", is located

in Musashigatsuji. About 280 years old, it is crammed with rows of seafood and

vegetable shops. Looking around at all of the produce, you will get a sense of the

market's unique vitality.

Owari-cho, which was once inhabited by merchants and craftsmen, has many old

shops that are still in business. You can enjoy the taste of such treats as old-

fashioned confections and tsukudani (various foods boiled down in soy sauce). The

atmospheric street that goes from Owari-cho to the Kazue-machi Chaya District

by the Asanogawa River is the perfect place for a stroll.

The glass dome at Kanazawa Station looks just like a shrine.

The shape of the glass dome at Kanazawa

Station is interesting, because it brings to

mind a Japanese shrine. And the

"Hyakubangai" shopping area inside the

station is the perfect place for buying

souvenirs. When I went back to Belgium I

bought hand mirrors decorated with gold

leaf and Kaga dolls. On my visit to Ishikawa

Confectionery Culture Center in Owaricho,

I became totally absorbed in making

Japanese confectioneries.

1Kanazawa Station 金沢駅 The design of 'Motenashi Dome', the symbol of the station's East Plaza, represents an umbrella proffered to visitors to Kanazawa. In front, there is a wooden gate that represents a hand drum. The underground plaza is equipped with Internet terminals, and a large multivision sign that displays a variety of images. This is the place to gather information before going on a trip.

Higashi Chaya District / Utatsuyama and Vicinity

Higashi means "east", utatsu means "east-southeast"; the names of the Higashi

Chaya District and Mt. Utatsu (Utatsu-yama) derive from the fact that they are

located in an easterly and east-southeasterly direction, respectively, as seen from

Kanazawa Castle.

The Higashi Chaya District is one of three chaya districts in Kanazawa. Its

streetscape, which has maintained a strong feudal-period atmosphere, is still

throbbing with life. For example, in the evening, under the lights of the houses,

you might be lucky enough to meet a group of geisha girls. These are not meant as

an attraction for tourists; they are definitely one of the sights of modern Kanazawa

that have remained throughout the city's long history. The Higashi Geisha District

is an area where you can see and experience for yourself the traditional culture of

Kanazawa.

Mt. Utatsu is a mountain that Kanazawa citizens are familiar with as a place to

relax that is close to the downtown area. You can go there in the spring to enjoy its

cherry blossoms, and in the fall to enjoy its crimson foliage.

Higashiyama gives you a sense of the Kanazawa of old.

You can experience old Kanazawa in

Higashiyama. I especially like Shima (Geisha

House). The kitchen and other rooms give

you a good idea of what life was like in the

Kanazawa of days gone by. At 'Shamisen no

Fukushima', I was also excited about having a

try at playing the shamisen, one of the

traditional instruments of Japan. At dusk, this

area's lit-up cityscape is very beautiful.

About 400 years ago, temples that were dotted around the city were moved to Teramachi

and the base of Mt. Utatsu. Myoryuji Temple, known by its nickname of Ninja Temple, will

probably surprise you with its various contraptions. The sound of bells at dusk also makes a

deep impression on visitors.

Don't forget to make a reservation before going to Myoryuji Temple.

I recommend a visit to Myoryuji Temple, also known as Ninja Temple, which is located in this area. It gives you a chance to see old architecture close up, and the various contraptions in the building will give you one surprise after another. However, there are a couple of points to keep in mind when you visit the temple. First of all, be sure to make a reservation. Also, you should wait until you have been around the building before looking at the English pamphlet. Looking at the pamphlet first would diminish the fun.


[Get a taste of history]1Myoryuji Temple (Ninja Temple) 妙立寺（忍者寺） Famous for its nickname, this temple has many contraptions such as hidden staircases and floor traps to defeat attacking enemies. x9:00 am - 4:30 pm (4:00 pm from the end of November to the end of February) cyear-end and New Year's, Buddhist sermon days, during annual events v¥800 (telephone reservations required) b076-241-08882Nishi Chaya District にし茶屋街 In addition to a historical streetscape and geisha girls, this area has a museum and geisha houses, one of which offers visitors the rare opportunity of going inside for powdered green tea or coffee (from ¥300).

ring. The atmospheric sound that they produce has been selected

as one of the "one hundred best soundscapes in Japan".

Kodatsuno / Nodayama and Vicinity Kodatsuno is southeast of Kenrokuen Garden. There are many temples here too, as well as residential neighborhoods, schools and hospitals; it is a good place for getting a close-up look at the Kanazawa way of life.Nodayama is an immense cemetery where many figures of historical importance to Kanazawa, such as members of the Maeda family, have been laid to rest. It is said that there are more than 50 thousand gravestones in the cemetery, and many people go there to pay their respects.

In Kodatsuno you can get to know the everyday life of the citizens of Kanazawa.

The Kodatsuno area is probably the best place

to find out about the daily lives of the people

of Kanazawa. Because there are a lot of schools

in the area, there are many students walking

around, and at the bottom of the hill, there is a

large shopping center frequented by local

residents. If you rent a bicycle, this area can be

reached quickly from downtown, so why not

make a little side-trip?


A karakuri (mechanical) marionette play featuring Tama-hime, the princess

who came to Kaga at the tender age of three to marry into the Maeda family

and died at the age of 24, is performed at Tentokuin Temple in Kodatsuno.

[Get a sense of history]

1Tentokuin Temple 天徳院 This is the family temple of Tama-hime, the princess who came to Kaga in 1601 to marry into the Maeda family. Even now, a wind-up-doll play about the 24-year-long life of Kanazawa's beloved Tama-hime is performed at the temple every day. x9:00 am - 4:30 pm (Mar. - Nov.), 9:00 am - 4:00 pm (Dec. - Feb.) cBuddhist sermon days, Dec. 29 - Jan. 3 vHigh school students and older ¥500, Junior high school students ¥300, Elementary school students ¥200 (tea

ceremony ¥500) b076-231-4484

2Daijoji Temple 大乗寺

This temple, used for training monks, was founded about 700 years ago and moved to its present location about 300 years ago. Here you can experience Zen meditation - the seeking of enlightenment through detachment and silence, by sitting quietly and concentrating. The building has been designated as a cultural asset of national importance. [Admire the view]

3View from Nodayama 野田山からの景観 From Nodayama, a hill located in the southwestern part of the urban area of Kanazawa, you can see the whole urban area. It is popular as a spot from which to see the city at night; if you have a car, the view is well worth the drive.

L The Best of Kanazawa

ryoteiGet your fill of the elegance 　 of Japanese culture at a （料亭）

Have you ever been to a ryotei, or Japanese-style restaurant?

In addition to authentic Japanese cuisine,

it offers an experience of various elements of Japanese culture.

Here in Kanazawa, there are many ryotei with a history

of several hundred years.

A visit to one of them would be sure to delight you.

Kanazawa - a city of ryotei

Sushi

The architecture of a ryotei

A delicacy presented on a fine plate

Geishas

L Architecture

Enjoy superb sushi Because fresh seafood is readily available

in Kanazawa, the sushi is outstanding.

Be sure to visit the sushi restaurants

dotted around the city.

L Performing arts

Enjoy handicrafts and geisha performancesThe food is presented on Kanazawa Kutani ware, the traditional ceramic ware of Ishikawa Prefecture, and Kanazawa lacquerware; all of the dishes are of superb quality. The interior decoration of a ryotei includes folding screens and scroll pictures. Guests can invite geishas to perform. Please have your fill of Kanazawa's many forms of art in a ryotei.

A ryotei is a restaurant that serves kaiseki ryori -

a set of dishes served on an individual tray.

There are many such restaurants in Kanazawa.

All you need to do to experience the city's

traditional culture is make a reservation. The

attractions of a ryotei can be divided into

"cuisine", "architecture" and "performing

arts".

L Cuisine

Enjoy the essence of Kaga cuisine The dishes served in Kanazawa's ryotei mainly fall into the category of Kaga cuisine. The flavors are exquisite, as indicated by the fact that Kaga cuisine attracts chefs from Kyoto, a city that also has many ryotei, and from all over Japan for training.

Admire a Japanese house and a Japanese garden at the same time.Take your time to look around the building. Kanazawa's ryotei are all of an authentic traditional Japanese-style architecture, with a Japanese garden that takes on a new aspect in each of the four seasons.
