The Kaga clan provided su�cient protection and training to enable art and craft techniques to �ourish under their rule. Kanazawa is renowned in Japan as a city of crafts and is the established

Welcome to Kanazawa!A city that prides itself in the colors of Kenrokuen Garden throughout the four seasons, in the clear water of the Saigawa and Asanogawa rivers, in its abundant

greenery, and in its re�ned traditional culture - and at the same time incorporates modern elements as it continues to develop. This is the city of Kanazawa.

Kanazawa’s traditional arts and crafts

Fresh ingredients and exceptional cooking techniques

Town with real Geisha performers

Kanazawa – Town with a mixture of old traditions and new culture

home of a number of art forms, including Kaga Yuzen, gold leaf, and lacquerware. In recognition of its thriving arts and crafts, the city was appointed the �rst UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art of Japan in 2009.

Kanazawa’s food cultureKanazawa bene�ts from its location facing both the sea and mountains, with an abundance of fresh ingredients available. These include seafood such as crabs and

shrimps from the Sea of Japan, as well as locally produced Kaga vegetables. Kanazawa’s rich food culture aims to delight all of your �ve senses using its advanced cooking techniques and

arrangements, serving up dishes and table manners in addition to the ingredients. Kanazawa is also known as the home of Japanese confectionery due to the fact that a number of famous sweets were created in the city, and where the tea ceremony is very popular.

Kanazawa’s traditional performing artsThere is a saying in Kanazawa that goes “Utai (the chanting of a Noh text) falls down from the sky.” Ever since the olden days, Noh plays have been enjoyed by samurai, merchants, and even by gardeners. You would often hear someone humming a verse from a Noh play while walking down the street in Kanazawa, which is where the above saying comes from. The unique Kaga Hosho Noh plays and the Subayashi musical accompaniment have been passed down through the generations, and remain part of citizens’ lives to this day. Kanazawa is also known as one of Japan’s leading cities for Geisha performers. The tea ceremony, an essential part of samurai culture, has also grown in popularity as a way to casually enjoy tea.

The castle town of Kanazawa was built by the Maeda family of the Kaga clan in the late 16th century. The Maeda family promoted the city’s development by arranging samurai and townspeople’s residential areas and the temple districts around Kanazawa Castle. Kanazawa then grew to become Japan’s largest castle town, ruled by a feudal lord who invested heavily in culture and education as opposed to military force, in an attempt to create a sophisticated, traditional culture. Kanazawa was Japan’s fourth-largest city at the time, behind Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

Modern-day Kanazawa is one of the largest castle towns in Japan and retains many streets and cultural elements from the olden days owing to the fact that the city has escaped damage caused by war or major disasters for a period of over 400 years. Kanazawa’s unique charms include the tourist spots of Kanazawa Castle, Kenrokuen Garden, the long-established �sh market, teahouse districts, the samurai district and tradesmen towns, as well as its traditional culture such as crafts, entertainment, and food.

Along with its history and culture, today’s Kanazawa also has new attractions including the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, which attracts attention from home and abroad, and districts that are home to fashionable gallery shops.

Experience the city of Kanazawa that combines tradition with new culture.

ContemporaryArt, Kanazawa金沢21世紀美術館

KenrokuenGarden兼六園

KanazawaCastle Park金沢城公園

One can summarize the attraction of present-day Kanazawa as “coexistence of modernity and tradition” .

For example, by simply venturing a little distance away from the downtown area that bustles with young people,

you can come across a streetscape dating back several centuries. This is the area that symbolizes the attraction of

present-day Kanazawa. The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa exhibits a wide range of

modern art by artists from all over the world; you can spend a long time there without tiring of the exhibits. Kanazawa

Castle Park is a symbol of Kanazawa's traditional culture, and Kenrokuen Garden was created as the castle garden by

successive generations of lords, beginning more that 300 years ago. As one of the three most famous gardens of

Japan, it attracts many tourists. This area, in which newness and traditional culture coexist,

is truly representative of modern-day Kanazawa.

Korinbo香林坊

Kata-machi片　町

Naga-machi長　町

The area that comprises Ishikawa Prefecture, where Kanazawa is located, Toyama Prefecture to the east, and Fukui Prefecture

to the west is called Hokuriku. Korinbo/Katamachi is the largest commercial area in Hokuriku. With its concentration of

various kinds of people and shops, it is the most important center for both people and products in this area. If you are

walking around looking for a place to have lunch or dinner, or to have tea, this is probably the area where you can enjoy

yourself the most. People looking for typical Kanazawa dishes, or those who miss the tastes of their home country can

probably �nd the type of restaurant they are looking for here. Of course, this area is also recommended for shopping, and for

people who want to spend an evening in Kanazawa enjoying some good drinks. If you go a little beyond the commercial

district, you can walk through Naga-machi, an area that brings to mind the streetscape of samurai days. In this area there are also samurai residences and museums that evoke the lifestyle

of the feudal period, so if you are interested in samurais and their culture, you should de�nitely go and have a look.

The glass dome of Kanazawa Station has the nickname of "Motenashi Dome". Motenashi means "welcoming" or

"entertainment"; it is a word that indicates good treatment of guests. The dome expresses the hospitality

of the citizens of Kanazawa, who kindly greet and send o� people who come to visit the rainy city, in the hope that they will not get wet when starting their journey.

Omi-cho Market, said to be the "kitchen of the citizens of Kanazawa", is located in Musashigatsuji. About 300

years old, it is crammed with rows of seafood and vegetable shops. Looking around at all of the produce,

you will get a sense of the market's unique vitality.Owari-cho, which was once inhabited by merchants and craftsmen, has many old shops that are still in business.

You can enjoy the taste of such treats as old-fashioned confections and tsukudani (various foods

boiled down in soy sauce). The atmospheric street that goes from Owari-cho to the Kazue-machi Chaya District by the Asanogawa River is the perfect place for a stroll.

Higashi means "east", utatsu means "east-southeast"; the names of the Higashi Chaya District and Mt. Utatsu

(Utatsu-yama) derive from the fact that they are located in an easterly and east-southeasterly direction, respectively,

as seen from Kanazawa Castle.The Higashi Chaya District is one of three chaya districts in Kanazawa. Its streetscape, which has maintained a strong

feudal-period atmosphere, is still throbbing with life. For example, in the evening, under the lights of the houses, you might be lucky enough to meet a group of geisha girls.

These are not meant as an attraction for tourists; they are de�nitely one of the sights of modern Kanazawa that have

remained throughout the city's long history. The Higashi Geisha District is an area where you can see and experience

for yourself the traditional culture of Kanazawa. Mt. Utatsu is a mountain that Kanazawa citizens are familiar

with as a place to relax that is close to the downtown area. You can go there in the spring to enjoy its cherry blossoms,

and in the fall to enjoy its crimson foliage.

the base of Mt. Utatsu. Myoryuji Temple, known by its nickname of Ninja Temple, will probably surprise you with

its various contraptions. The sound of bells at dusk also makes a deep impression on visitors.

In Kanazawa, where this tradition has been passed down since the Edo period, there are approximately 50 Kanazawa geiko (geisha girls) active in the three Chaya Districts.The old custom where you need the invitation of a regular customer to attend a dinner party in a tatami room is still being passed down today.Although it is normally not possible to meet the geiko, depending on the season, the general public may have the chance to see the dance of the Kanazawa geiko.

If you walk the streets of the Chaya District, you might hear the sounds of the shamisen or taiko drums �owing from the tea rooms.

❸ View from Nodayama 野田山からの景観

From Nodayama, a hill located in the southwestern part of the urban area of Kanazawa, you can see the whole urban area. It is popular as a spot from which to see the city at night; if you have a car, the view is well worth the drive.

06Kanazawa, the birthplace of the Buddhist philosopher Daisetz Suzuki, who made Zen culture known around the world, has been a �ourishing place for Buddhism since ancient times.At Daijoji Temple, Zen meditation starts at 4:15 AM and continues for the entire day without a pause, and in the morning you can join the monks for their ascetic practices.In addition, at the Zen meditation sessions held every Sunday from 1:30 PM, or the temple stays, you have the chance to quietly collect yourself.
