I stopped by after visiting Kenrokuen, but honestly, there wasn't much to see here. A bit disappointing.

NyanNyan-Ji
Located in Kyoto’s Yase area, NyanNyan-Ji occupies a century-old traditional house renovated in the style of a temple. Known as a sacred place for cat lovers, its principal deity is Dainichi Nyarai, a beckoning-cat incarnation of the Buddha. The museum also enshrines Susanaru no Mikoto and Nekoterasu no Okami, creating a unique space where art and good fortune intersect.
The sign at the entrance that says 'Main Temple of the Lucky Cat Sect' instantly made me smile. It felt like I was being hugged by a cat.

Nishi Chaya-Gai District
Nishi-Chaya-gai was one of the Hanamachi(areas where Ochaya and geisha-houses were clustered) streets officially licensed by the Kaga Clan in 1820. The name "Nishi-chaya-gai" comes from its location to the west, as seen from Kanazawa Castle.
After visiting Higashi Chaya District and Kazuemachi Chaya District, this place felt a bit underwhelming.

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa
Since its opening in 2004 with the theme of “An art museum open to the world,” it has grown into the nation’s most popular museum that made the name, Kanazawa, tied to art with the unique exhibition methods.
You don't necessarily need to buy a ticket to go inside—the architecture outside is so interesting, you could spend a long time just admiring it.
