With its charming Edo-period districts, historic castle, and picturesque gardens, the city of Kanazawa is the perfect place to spend a few days.  

​

• Highlights: Tsuzumi-mon Gate, Higashi Chaya District  (pictured), Kazuemachi Chaya District, Kanazawa Castle Park, Kenroku-en (garden), Ōmichō Market, Oyama Shrine, Naga-machi District, Nomura-ke Samurai Residence, Saigawa Shrine, and Nishi Chaya District.
