Traveling to Kanazawa

Embark on a journey as you hop on the bullet train northwest to Kanazawa, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage. Often described as home to one of the last well-preserved samurai-era neighborhoods in Japan, Kanazawa offers a glimpse into the past that many travelers find enchanting. As you wander through its historic streets, you will encounter beautifully preserved buildings that narrate tales of the bygone era.

 

Cultural Delights: Teahouses and Crafts

Kanazawa is not only about history but also about tradition and craftsmanship. The city boasts numerous historic teahouses where visitors can experience authentic Japanese tea ceremonies. Additionally, shops selling exquisite Wajima lacquerware provide a unique opportunity to appreciate the fine craftsmanship of local artisans. The lacquerware pieces are not just functional; they represent a piece of Kanazawa’s artistic legacy that has been passed down through generations.

Relaxation in Kaga Onsen

After exploring the vibrant streets of Kanazawa, consider spending at least a night in the nearby Kaga Onsen area. This collection of hot-spring towns, including renowned ryokans such as Kayotei, offers the perfect retreat for relaxation. Immerse yourself in the soothing waters of the onsen, while witnessing the beauty of nature that surrounds this region. Additionally, for those seeking more adventure, the villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama are just a short distance away. These UNESCO-protected destinations are famous for their unique architecture and a thousand-year history of mulberry and silkworm farming.
