Kanazawa is a stop in Little Kyoto worth making a special stop. For two days and one night, between Kenrokuen and Gold Leaf, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Kanazawa.
Upon arriving in Kanazawa, Kenrokuen immediately took the lead. In the morning light, it quietly spreads out like the first calling card handed to this place, making people unconsciously slow their pace.
Leaving half a day for gold leaf was the most cost-effective decision on this trip to Kanazawa. Details unfold at your fingertips and before your eyes, more satisfying than any check-in.
Chaya Street is Kanazawa's gift to slow walkers. When you are willing to pause for a beam of light or a gust of wind, it gives its softest part.
The 21st Century Museum of Art in the evening is at its most lively. Find a nearby small restaurant and enjoy a leisurely drink under the night sky of Kanazawa, retelling the daytime scenery over every cup.
The beauty of Kanazawa is something you slowly savored only after you leave. When you suddenly think of Kenrokuen from elsewhere, you'll understand: some places are meant to be missed repeatedly.
