Kanazawa, located on Japan’s central Honshu Island, is often celebrated as one of the undercover jewels of the country. Known as "Little Kyoto" for its charming, well-preserved districts, Kanazawa retains an impressive historical legacy with Edo period landscapes, including the exquisite Kenroku-en Garden, one of Japan's "three most beautiful landscape gardens." The city is also famous for its traditional crafts like gold-leaf artistry, Kaga Yuzen silk dyeing, and Kutani porcelain, which visitors can both appreciate and learn during their stay. The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, featuring thought-provoking exhibits from around the world, along with the majestic Kanazawa Castle, are amongst the city's must-see sights, offering a perfect blend of Japan's rich past and its innovative present.
