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.

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.

Kanazawa Castle Park
In 1583 (the period of Tensho 11th), Toshiie Maeda entered this castle as the first feudal lord, since then this castle had been used by the Maeda family of Kaga Domain until the early time of the Meiji, later the ruin of this castle was reconstructed to use as a large park for citizens.
I stopped by after visiting Kenrokuen, but honestly, there wasn't much to see here. A bit disappointing.
