Welcome to Kanazawa

The city has played a major part in the history of Japan and safeguards facets of traditional culture.
Untouched for 400 years by disaster or war, the city retains the original charm and atmosphere of a feudal castle town.
It is still possible to traverse the old town on foot and imagine the grace and beauty of life in the Yedo period without sacrificing the urban modernity and convenience.
