Destination
Kanazawa is a beautifully preserved castle town on the Sea of Japan coast, home to Kenrokuen — one of Japan's three most celebrated gardens — the atmospheric Higashi Chaya geisha quarter, and exquisite Kaga cuisine. Spared from wartime bombing, the city retains centuries of samurai and merchant culture, making its ryokans a living continuation of Edo-period hospitality traditions.
