Kanazawa is a medium-sized city in Japan that has not yet succumbed to the massive invasion of western tourists that has plagued cities like Kyoto.
Reachable in around 2 1/2 hours from Tokyo on the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train, Kanazawa is well worth 2-3 days of any visitor’s time.
It is a city of contrasts, where Edo-era buildings co-exist alongside modern architecture.
Think historic castles and beautiful gardens, gold-leaf production, bustling markets, fresh seafood and easy access to most attractions.
There are myriad museums and galleries - and the city is very popular with Japanese tourists over the summer national holiday period.
A full review follows but here are some images that showcase the city. All pics taken on my iPhone and posted unfiltered.
