    "A museum located on the tip of Kanazawa Port which presents the achievements of mechanical doll maker Ono Benkichi, displays Japanese karakuri mechanical dolls, and contains interactive exhibits on karakuri. Ono was an inventor who lived in Ono Village (now Ono Town) in Ishikawa District at the end of the Edo period. Using what was then cutting edge technology, Ono created a variety of inventions, and the karakuri dolls he crafted during his lifetime are a testament to his mechanical skills. The museum presents the world of Japanese karakuri dolls with a focus on Ono. The museum's exhibits include well-known karakuri dolls such as a tea carrying doll, and also occasionally holds demonstrations which enable visitors to view the dolls in action up close. Visitors can also see a ""nozoki karakuri,"" a mechanical stage show consisting of a series of pictures viewed through a peephole which was popular with children in the Edo period. Twice a month, the museum holds interactive workshops for elementary school aged children."

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Kanaiwahonmachi Ro 55
    This museum memorializes Zeniya Gohei, a maritime merchant who lived at the end of the Edo period, engaged in trade across Japan and with other nations during a time of national isolation using kitamaebune cargo ships, and supported the one million “koku” economy of Kaga. The museum was built in 1997 to honor the man’s foresight and achievements, collect and conserve items connected to the merchant, and provide information on him. An animated video shown in the museum presents a good portion of Gohei’s life. Visitors can also get a sense of what shipping was like at the time via a 1/4th scale kitamaebune cargo ship. The adjoining Zenigo no Yakata was once the merchant’s home and three-story kura warehouse, moved to this site and restored to its full glory. Visitors can view articles which belonged to the man and his family and imagine what life was like then.

    The executive director personally showed us around and explained the detailed story of this tragic family. If you are familiar with Japanese history, especially Edo era, it will be a very interesting...

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Onomachi 5-chome 81

    港に近く、なかなか趣のある神社で素敵なのですが、交通手段が難しいと思います。バスはあまり本数が頻繁にはないし、車だと駐車場がない…。天気が良ければ、レンタサイクルがよいかもしれません。

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.
