Kanazawa is a city where samurai districts, geisha teahouses, a celebrated garden, and bold modern architecture sit side by side, all spared the destruction that reshaped much of urban Japan. To make planning easy, we have gathered all of our Kanazawa content into one master guide, linking every travel guide and hotel recommendation we have published for the city and its surroundings.
How to Use This Guide
Begin with the individual guides to decide which sights and day trips appeal most, then turn to the hotel guides to choose a convenient base. The hub post ties the sightseeing together, while the hotel guides break down where to stay by area.
Make the Most of Kanazawa
Reachable from Tokyo in about two and a half hours by Shinkansen, Kanazawa rewards a stay of two days or more. That gives time for the garden and castle, the historic districts, and an excursion into the mountains to Shirakawa-go.
