Kanazawa
Featuring beautifully preserved samurai and geisha districts, reconstructed castles, impressive temples, world-class museums and a popular market, Kanazawa is one of mainland Japan’s most popular cities, second only to Kyoto as a top historical jewel. The highlight of any stay in the city is a visit to Kenrokuen, one of the most celebrated landscape gardens in all of Japan and a true feast for the senses.
