Strolling through the museums in Ueno Park feels really nice.
The ticket price isn’t high, and the exhibits on dinosaurs, meteorites, and prehistoric life are super eye‑catching.
There’s also a 360‑degree theater where you can watch short films.
The gift shop has lots of cute little items that are hard to resist buying.

Hakodate Morning Market
Hakodate Asaichi is a huge market of about 33,000㎡. Some 250 stores, including about 150 member stores of the federation and 100 other stores, sell and serve Hokkaido foodstuffs. Member stores display a sticker of "Asaitchan ," the mascot of the Hakodate market, as their recommended store sign.
The seafood is seriously unbelievably fresh. You can tell they’re not messing around.

Ishikawa Prefectural Government 19th Floor Observation Lobby
A public observation space on the top floor of the Ishikawa Prefectural Government building. The floor is glass-walled on all four sides, offering sweeping views of Kanazawa’s cityscape, the sea, and the mountains from a height of Approx. 80 meters above ground. On clear days, you can see Mt. Hakusan and the Tateyama Mountain Range, and since admission is available until 8:00pm (7:00pm on weekdays from January to March), you can also enjoy the night view.
Definitely worth going up for a look! The whole floor is surrounded by glass windows, so the view feels super open. You can see all of Kanazawa, and on a clear day you can even spot Mt. Hakusan.
Best of all, it’s completely free. It’s also not crowded, so it feels really quiet and comfortable. There are chairs where you can sit and relax, and the night view is really romantic too.
Overall, it’s one of those unexpectedly awesome spots. I’d definitely recommend adding it to your Kanazawa itinerary for a relaxed visit. -
AOAO SAPPORO
Doors opened on July 2023 over at AOAO SAPPORO, the urban aquarium destination themed for "Wonders of Life: Seeing the Unseen”. The space is divided into three distinct zones, each with its own underwater world of hybrid-media areas that ponder the link between humans and water via live animal exhibits, backstage tours and immersive digital art.
The scents and lighting inside are really well thought out. It feels super pleasant to walk around.
