Located on the west coast of Honshu Island, Kanazawa appeared towards the end of the 15th century and remained the richest fortified city in Japan throughout the Edo Period. Whatever the season, the city proposes exceptional events and attractions, such as the Sakura Cherry Blossom Festival. Its location between the sea and the mountains makes it one of Japan’s most popular cities, just 4 hours from Tokyo and 3 hours from Osaka. These megapoles of several million people have become brilliant examples of Japan’s astonishing economic miracle. You will perhaps be disorientated but most certainly taken with the staggered rhythm of the city: the noisy and frenetic consumerism passes alongside traditional rites and customs which are experienced in patience and tranquility. Discover this fascinating world quickly.
