During my time in Japan, I had the opportunity to travel to Kanazawa. A part of Japan that is beautiful! It was an expensive Shinkansen ride that was about 2 or 3 hours from Tokyo; however, it was beautiful and so relaxing!
My family and I stayed 3 days in Kanazawa and loved the history and culture that we saw there. Here are the places we went to: Kanazawa Castle - Kanazawa Castle was great! There was great scenery. The castle itself was destroyed, but they remade the guards part of the castle and it was so cool to see! Kenroku-Eno - BEAUTIFUL garden connected to Kanazawa Castle Tsudumimon - This is the famous arch right in front of Kanazawa station (HUGE)! Omicho Market - Open Fish Market! (Go in the morning) Nishi Chaya District - This is where the geishas used to live! It was a cute little street filled with shops and walk in historical rooms. I made a gold leaf picture frame here! Gold Leaf Museum - Kanazawa is known for their gold leaf making. The process is intense and the museum made me appreciate all the gold leaf products. Each place was beautiful. If you ever go to Kanazawa, make sure to get the loop bus ticket which lasts for a day and is only 500 yen! It was well worth it and nice and air conditioned.
