    This traditional toy store is located in Owari-cho, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. This a long-established store was founded in 1862, originally selling theater props and masks. It began selling Kaga dolls and traditional toys later. The store prides itself on its lovingly-made handmade toys, and with the “Kaga-hachiman okiagari” motif based on Kaga-hachiman tradition, their toys are considered auspicious in the way that they rise up again, no matter how many times they fall. Inside the store is a corner where customers can experience painting Kaga-hachiman okiagari toys themselves. (Charges apply.)

    金沢駅から徒歩約18分の距離にあります。今回はひゃくまんさん人形をGetすべく来店。幸いにも店頭に1点在庫があり無事購入することが出来た。 お店は昭和を感じさせるレトロな作りではあるが歴史を感じさせる作品が並んでいる。 張り子のひゃくまんさんなのでとても軽くお土産の品としては良いかもしれない。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Yasuechou 11-35
    This is a long-established store founded in 1575 selling traditional handicraft “Kaga Fishing Flies” and sewing needles. Lord Kaga named the sharp and easy-to-use needles “Meboso,” and they have been highly regarded from that time. Since the Meiji Era the shop started making fishing flies to catch ayu sweetfish and was awarded a certificate of merit at the “National Industrial Exposition” in 1890. Currently, apart from the traditional Kaga flies and sewing needles, marking pins with cute decorative heads and feather accessories are also popular. If you make a reservation you can experience making feather accessories. The nearest station is Kanazawa Station.

    A shop which sells traditional Kanazawa incense and erosoku painted candles. In addition to popular scents like sandalwood and agarwood, the shop also sells a variety of original incense fragrances. In addition, you'll find elegant incenses decorated with another Kanazawa specialty product-gold leaf. The shop's handmade erosoku candles are decorated with colorful Kaga yuzen designs. In the shop's tatami room, you can play a round of kikiko, a traditional game played since the ancient Heian period in which players try to guess the fragrance of the incense being burned. The shop also holds short workshops in which you can make your own kaoribukuro fragrance bag by combining your favorite aromatic woods.

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Shimoumichou 40
    A specialty shop which carries Kutani ware, a traditional craft from Kanazawa. The shop's selection primarily consists of pottery decorated by the proprietress herself. Focusing on chic Kutani ware designs that are a little different from what one ordinarily sees, many of the shop's goods are of a size which makes them easy to make a part of your everyday life. You'll find grape and pomegranate themed marumon kajitsu fruit patterns, cute seasonal rabbit designs, gorgeous floral patterns, simple blue and white designs, and more. The ginsai porcelain, created by applying a glaze over silver leaf foil, is particularly eye-catching. These distinctive, shiny pieces are particularly popular.

    宗林寺は、JR金沢駅から徒歩10分くらいのところにある浄土真宗本願寺派の寺院です。2月にJR金沢駅近辺の寺院を散策した時に参拝しました。この寺院には、法隆寺夢殿のような八角形のお堂「花山聖徳堂」があります。朱色の目立つ建物です。十二代目住職が東京大学教授で聖徳太子の研究を中心に行った人であったことからとのことです。建物の内部も見学することができました。近辺には浄土真宗の寺院が点在していますので興味...

    金沢近江町市場の中にある、おみやげと地ビールのお店。 加賀藩 金沢城の城端で作られる人気のクラフトビール。 何とレモンフレーバーの青いビールが飲めますよ。 とてものみやすです。 他にもIPAである輝きと言うガツンと男らしい本格派ビールも! おススメです。

    名鉄エムザに買い物に訪れた際、そのすぐ近く(金沢駅より)にあるこちらの寺院を散策で訪れました。敷地は狭いですが、伝統的な寺院建築の本堂があります。商業施設に隣接しているとは思えないほど静かな境内でした。

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.
