  • Sanjikken Nagaya

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Marunouchi 1-1 Kanazawa Jo Park Uchi
    This two-tier, two-story tamon yagura gallery is located close to the inner citadel of Kanazawa Castle, one of Kanazawa’s most well-known landmarks. The Sanjikken Nagaya, Ishikawa Gate, and Tsurumaru Warehouse were the only structures to escape destruction in a fire on the grounds in 1881. Today, these structures are the important example of the castle’s architecture. The warehouse is roughly 48-meterlong, and it was originally used to store tableware but it is believed to have been used for storing weapons and ammunition in the late Edo period. Erected in 1858, the gallery has been designated an Important Cultural Property along with the Ishikawa Gate.

  • Sotobori Park (Otebori)

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi
    1. 4-hectare Sotobori Park is located on the site where the moats of Kanazawa Castle originally were in the Edo period. The moat was later filled in in the Meiji period and today is a popular space for rest and relaxation among local residents and tourists alike. The moats were filled in one by one after the abolition of the feudal domain system, and now only the Otebori Moat remains. 430 meters in circumference, the moat’s embankment was reinforced in 1989 and a walking path built along it. Commanding a view in spring of the cherry trees blooming along Kanazawa Castle Park’s stone wall, this area is one of the top cherry blossom viewing spots in the park.

  • Yugaotei
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Kenrokumachi
    A teahouse standing on the east bank of Hisago Pond in the Kenrokuen garden. One of what were once four teahouses standing in an area formerly known as “Renchitei” (“Lotus Pond Garden”), the teahouse is believed to have been erected in 1774. The teahouse’ name is a combination of the word “yugao,” which is the Japanese name for the bottle gourd; and “tei,” which means “arbor or pavilion;” the elegant name is derived from an openwork depiction of bottle gourd flowers in one of its interior walls. In spite of its small size, the structure is designed so that it can be used for full-fledged traditional tea ceremony events. The oldest teahouse in the garden, at the present time visitors are not permitted to freely view the interior, but its exterior, unchanged since it was built, can be seen from a walking path a short distance away.

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Hondamachi 3-chome 1-30

    金沢城公園や兼六園、金沢21世紀美術館などが周辺にある広阪の交差点からすぐのところにあります。なんと約1500年前の547年の創建らしく、当然ながら金沢で最も古いそう。そのためある種のパワースポット的な感じのある場所でした。

    This museum was a good choice on a rainy day. It is small but has every kind of traditional craft imaginable. I learned a lot from the exhibits. Definitely worth seeing.

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Tobiumecho 3-31

    戦前の暮らしと戦後の暮らしに分かれて展示されており、戦前の様子を学んだり戦後の様子を懐かしむところだ。映像資料もいくつかあり、丁寧にみると面白い。驚いたことはファミコンが展示されており、自分の子どもが小さいときに遊んでいたものが博物館に並べられているとは自分の歳を思い知らされた。２階には体験コーナーもあり、子どもや孫と会話をしながら見学するのも楽しいかも知れない。

Ishikawa Areas

around-area-map

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
