Kanazawa Holidays

Kanazawa, a city spanning two central rivers, has often been compared to Kyoto due to its large number of cultural sights. Translated as 'golden marsh', Kanazawa was once Japan's richest region due to its heavy production of rice and was spared the ravages of WWII due to its lack of military targets. Enjoy culinary temptations in the popular Katamachi region and take a walk through well-preserved Nagamachi, once home to Kanazawa's samurai population. Shop like a local at Omi-cho market which is reminiscent of Tokyo's Tsukiji market and take time out to reflect in the quiet beauty of the Gyokusen Immaru Garden which sits adjacent to Kanazawa Castle.
