Summer Kanazawa Travel Guide: A Refreshing Walk by the Water and in the Shade
Kanazawa flourished as the castle town of the wealthy Kaga Domain, and its historic gardens, geisha districts, and picturesque streets remain remarkably well preserved. In summer, refreshing scenery can be found throughout the city, from the shade of Kenrokuen Garden and its canals to the breezes along the Asano and Sai rivers. After strolling through the historic streets and admiring the gardens, sample fresh seafood and Kaga cuisine at Omicho Market, known as “Kanazawa’s Kitchen.”
