20의 료하쿠 산맥가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Open-air museum, well worth seeing!

This isn't the samurai district, but the geiko district. Geiko is the name for geisha in Kanazawa. It's a connected ensemble of very beautiful houses. A special feature are the wooden louvers in front of the windows, which only allow a view in one direction. The district as a whole has the same name, Higashiyama, as Kyoto, but is smaller and less crowded.

One of the three most beautiful gardens in all of Japan, and rightly so. Admission is 400 yen, but it's well worth it. It's also home to Japan's oldest fountain.

This fountain is something special: without a pump or anything similar, the difference in height between the lake and the fountain creates a 3.5-meter-high fountain. It's also the oldest fountain in Japan. There are a few benches in front of the fountain for sitting, which is quite rare.

There are currently some renovations underway, and excavations are taking place in various locations. But there are still many beautiful views of the park.

What a gate! The Tsuzumimon Gate is based on the motif of a drum from Noh, a traditional Japanese performing art. At night, the gate is illuminated, creating a fantastic atmosphere.

A very beautiful Shinto shrine that also provides access to Kanazawa Castle. The Shinmon Gate, an important cultural asset, is designed in Japanese, Chinese, and Western styles and features beautiful stained-glass windows on the top floor.

Whether sushimi or sushi or freshly grilled Waygu skewers, you can get many local delicacies here, with the fish freshly caught from the sea.
