The Kaga clan provided

sufficient protection and

training to enable art and craft

techniques to flourish 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 refined 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 first

UNESCO Creative City of Crafts

and Folk Art of Japan in 2009.

Kanazawa’s food culture

Kanazawa benefits 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

five 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 arts

There 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 fish 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.

Art, Kanazawa

金沢21世紀美術館

Kenrokuen

Garden

兼六園

Kanazawa

Castle 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.

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 find 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 definitely go and have a look.

Kanazawa City Hall

Nishi Chaya District

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

off 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

definitely 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.

Tera means "temple". As the name indicates, there are about

70 temples in Teramachi. About 400 years ago, temples that

were dotted around the city were moved to Teramachi and

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 flowing from the tea rooms.

about 300 years ago. Here you can

experience Zen meditation - the

seeking of enlightenment through

detachment and silence, by sitting

quietly and concentrating. The

building has been designated as a

cultural asset of national importance.

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 flourishing 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.
