A free observation deck this good feels almost unreal! The view is gorgeous and absolutely worth checking out. You get a 360-degree view of all of Kanazawa, and on a clear day you can even see Mt. Hakusan. Super impressive!

Saikai National Park Nagushiyama Park
A park located near the summit of 234-meter-high Nagushiyama, in one corner of Saikai National Park. Known as a famous azalea spot, from April to May a total of 100,000 azaleas, including Approx. 50,000 Kurume azaleas native to Japan and Approx. 50,000 Hirado azaleas, color the entire hill in vivid pink and red.
After the blooming season, the whole slope feels a bit lonely and quiet. It’s not as dreamy as the promotional photos.

Omicho Market
This is Kanazawa’s kitchen, which has been known as “Omicho” for about 300 years. It is always busy and vibrant, with approximately 170 stores selling fresh seasonal seafood, vegetables, prepared foods, souvenirs, and other items lined up in a narrow arcade.
I skipped the hotel breakfast and came to the market early just to have the seafood rice bowl here. Super fresh, delicious, and the prices are great.

Kinkaku-ji
During the Muromachi Period, the 3rd Ashikaga shogun, Yoshimitsu, made an abode in this temple called Kitayamadono. It was named as Rokuon-ji after the posthumous name of Yoshimitsu. He had also built Shokoku-ji Temple, and Rokuon-ji, his retirement home, was turned into a branch temple of Shokoku-ji.
This World Cultural Heritage site is absolutely breathtaking. A must-visit spot in Kyoto!
