Kanazawa: Courtyard and Street

Kanazawa is a stop worth making a special stop in the ancient capital of gold leaf. For 2 days and 1 night, between Kenrokuen and Higashi Chaya, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Kanazawa.

The first impression Kanazawa gives is almost always Kenrokuen. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Kanazawa, locals usually mention Higashi Chaya first. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but rather the gateway to an entire section of life.

Another side of Kanazawa is hidden within the gold leaf. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become part of this place.

If you have the energy, go take a stroll around Omimi. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, just enough to fill your itinerary perfectly.

Kanazawa taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as Kenrokuen taught me—the best scenery is always where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
