I’m just back from beautiful Japan and my friend and I were so thankful that we stayed in Kanazawa! What an absolute gem of a city to visit. We had 2 days to sightsee and the hotel we stayed in was first class! We voted Kanazawa as our favourite place in Japan that we stayed in. No big crowds and just such a beautiful city. If you visit Japan, you should definitely visit this city.😍

My wife and I were also just there for the 6th or 7th time just to ride the new Shinkansen extension. We were actually there, on our way to Kurobe onsen, In January right after the big earthquake. Kanazawa is one of favorite stops.

I see. People visit Kanazawa instead of Kyoto. For me,Loving to eat food,I think better place than Kyoto. Ramen,curry,fishes,beef,roast tea etc… all food is unique and phenomena

I spent three nights in Kanazawa and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a really pleasant city. I could have easily spent a week. What I have found in these less-visited places is that they have some very good guides. I did two tours there that were very interesting. As an aside, a city that is close by is Takayama and on the way there, you can visit the historic village Shirakawa-go. Train travel to and from both cities was excellent. The best way I found to travel to Shirakawa-go was to hire a car and driver.

We visited Shirakawago and Takayama as well! (and both are in one video on our channel) We could have spent more time in Kanazawa, easily. What a fantastic area and gem of a city!
I recomend Ise shrine and Okage yokocho in Mie. The atmosphere of old merchant town and huge trees riverside are fantastic. Toba pearl Islands are beautiful, too.

One of the great maccha tea master Ura-senke choose this shop as the favorite cake shop. The shop name is Mamehan. This shop style is irregular, reservation only. Shopping at the door is refused, you need to reserve cake the day before.

I love Kanazawa. Went there twice. My first visit to the city was before the Hokuriku shinkansen was built and I had to spend almost 5 hours to travel there from Tokyo. It was quieter before but it's still alright now, not overly crowded compared to Kyoto. There are many beautiful modern museums as there are traditional houses. Kenrouken is one of the top 3 gardens in Japan. Beautiful in autumn. Nodoguro (black throat fish) is its specialty and it's delicious! Recommend to rent kimono and walk around to take photos!

Lovely video, makes me wanna rethink our travel plans this November 😅 What are the main differences between Kanazawa and Takayama when it comes to overall vibe, which one feels less touristy?
@TalesFromOurPocket
2 ай бұрын
Haha, we understand completely! Kanazawa had fewer foreign tourists; both had plenty of local tourists. We had the strangest problem in Takayama. We stayed in a central location and struggled to get dinner without a reservation (not even in the historic area). If you go there, we'd highly recommend dinner reservations! Kanazawa had a bit more local feel, and the river area was gorgeous. Takayama also has a river (not as nice as Kanazawa), and we really enjoyed our walk up in the hills. I'd choose the one that works best with your itinerary. If you'll be near Takayama, go there. If you're traveling from elsewhere, Kanazawa might be the easier option - and is just as nice. (we have a Takayama video, too, if you haven't stumbled across it yet!) 😁

It is noteworthy that the fountain in the Kenrokuen Garden you visited and included in the video is the oldest in Japan and the water spouts upward without any mechanical assistance. Positioned below the main lake in the garden the water pressure forces the water upward to reach the level of the lake above.
