Kanazawa sightseeing is here. 8 elections of landmark of the righteous government to which the once would like to go

A castle town and Kanazawa in Kaga Hyakumangoku have complete set of the tourist attraction where taste in an ancient capital and art are felt. When using a tour bus, it's also attractive that it can be surrounded each spot easily.
If the daimyo garden a successive generations seigneur loved and present-day art museum of art visit Kanazawa, I'll guide the basic spot I'd like to do to 3 restaurant district where I leave the trace in Meiji Period from Edo sometime.

At museum of art like a park, art zanmai

Museum of art like a park located in the center of Kanazawa-shi. You can associate freely from the entrance and exit way where 4 points are here in the circular building which became glazed. The "swimming pool" that it's very popular in the pay exhibition zone seems to be the pool filled with water where. I make the surface of the water a boundary and look at mutual from the ground and underground, strange space spreads so that it's seen. Besides it's also possible to enjoy the present-day art work which stimulates the sensitivity a lot.

Treasure house of the present-day art of which I don't get tired even if I'm here for one day

A square of the turf who surrounds a building is the exchange zone which can be enjoyed for free of charge. You can meet various works even here. "Wrapping" by which many prominence projected into various directions is the pavilion by which a child can enter the interior and play. I get idea from the ornithologist who stripped off freedom of a study by a movie "lifelong conviction" in a roof, and it's possible to think a produced bronze work "the man who measures cloud" to look up from a square. There are 2 museum shops in inside of the building, and an item for museum of art and Kanazawa fits a gift. There is also cafe Restaurant which took the local ingredients in, and you can enjoy yourself much for one day.

I go around a ruin of a castle in Kaga Hyakumangoku.

The Ishikawa gate where I face Kenroku-en and stand up. Solid Ishigaki catches eye.

Kanazawa Castle Park is the effective park I provided with a castle resided of a Kaga feudal clan Maeda family. A Kaga feudal clan first seigneur and Maeda Toshiie enter at Noto and begin castellation in earnest (in 1583) in 1583. When a donjon burned down by fire by a thunderbolt, it wasn't reconstructed from consideration to Shogunate Government of Edo after that. The one by which the Ishikawa gate designated as important cultural property at present was reconstructed in 1788 (1788). That I pass through the stone-piling excellent Ishikawa gate, recent years, an old map and an ancient document, and, there is row house (GOJIKKEN NA isn't liked.) etc. during restored water chestnut turret (a day, with the selling point of, turret) and fifty, and the beautiful contrast of a lead tile and Namako Kabe is must-see.

The daimyo garden a successive generations seigneur loved is reproduced.

I take a walk through an elegant garden by Kanazawa Castle Park.

There was a beautiful garden where a successive generations seigneur looked and enjoyed himself "Tamaizumi inmaru garden" in the Kanazawa castle formerly. It was abolished in Meiji Period, but its form was recent years, and was revived. Ike, Shima and Hashi are attracted in the castle about 380 years before, and also reproduce a daimyo garden of the Izumi Ike migration system which makes the utilized Tatsumi water for irrigation the water source faithfully now. Though I take a walk through the garden path where you can migrate, and rests from a garden at Waiting Room "Tamaizumi hermitage", it's possible to appreciate the same elegant garden as the Edo Period. A fantastic light up can also be enjoyed in Saturday and an appointed date every week.

※ For damage by a Noto Peninsula earthquake, there is a restricted area. Please check it in HP for details.

The daimyo garden which is Mito's "Kairakuen" and one in Okayama's Three Great Gardens of Japan as well as "Korakuen" and represents Japan. That a Kaga feudal clan Godai eye seigneur and Tsunanori-Maeda made around the villa a garden hangs the long time on a first and a historical origin by a successive generations seigneur after that, and a grave garden like present has been completed. Garden lantern of two foot by which haze is in a pond when saying a symbol in Kenroku-en, "kishin (KO TOJI) garden lantern". The aspect changes the haze KE pond where I hit upon an island with the shape of the turtle called Houraijima by the place I see, and the sucker who plays at a pond and the form of the swindle also make an eye calm down. When I go around in the wide park, it takes about 40 minutes at the least, so it's recommended to have a plenty of leeway in time and visit.

The autumnal tints and the scenery of the suspending branches with rope... each season are enjoyed in Sakura.

Beautifully, about 200 plums which bloom in Bairin and the cherry tree of more than 400 colored along the way which entered at Katsura Sakaguchi also prosper as a flower viewing spot in Kenroku-en in spring. A cherry tree of the unusual kind called Kenroku-en chrysanthemum cherry tree in the inside. In early summer, Rabbit ear iris and Azalea, the color blooms vividly and it's dyed in colorful colored leaves in autumn in the park. The suspension of branches with rope to prevent a branch breaking with the heavy snow peculiar to Hokuriku area starts from November. Above all, in the park, suspension of branches with rope of Karasaki pine which takes pride in its best shape of branch is attention.

A lane of long mud wall and stone pavement leads to Nagamachi with the Samurai residence trace where an intermediate warrior of a Kaga feudal clan lived, an aim, much. It's "Samurai residence Atono village house" that it's opened to the public only in it. The family's social standing by which Nomura family has the history which continued for 1871 years until abolishment of feudal domains of (1871). It's the present residence that a mud wall and Furuki left the part and reconstructed a copy of wealthy merchant's house of a merchant cargo ship in a new location there. A coffered ceiling built with general hinoki (the quire which can't be struck) meets a highlight "in the upper row, while". Excellent design such as a sliding paper door door with diamond and the sliding door by which a landscape was drawn (sliding door) is seen.

The space as if I have time-travelled to the Edo Period

The powdered green tea I can receive in the tea-ceremony room and dry confectionery of 500 yen

It's also elegant time to sit down in an open veranda and look at a garden. A colored carp swims expansively in a pond, and the scenery of the garden where taste is here such as the bayberry of an age of the tree for 400 years and the meandering water for which I press Furuki of a chinquapin and immediately near the great bridge of a garden lantern and cherry tree granite and the open veranda spreads.
The tea-ceremony room where I go up stone steps and have that in the 2nd floor "fubakuiori (bran tapir bean jam)" is also the place at which I'd like to drop in by all means. Powdered green tea and dry confectionery can be tasted comfortably while looking at a garden and healing a heart in sound of water.

To the "Kanazawa's kitchen" full of energy.

Fish store in the market where I bustle with a local visitor and a tourist
Fish store in the market where I bustle with a local visitor and a tourist

There is history in about 300."Omicho Market". A store as much as about 170 is crowded and is a kitchen of Kanazawa-shi people who ply a local visitor and a chef of Restaurant, too the fruits and vegetables store and the butcher where Kaga vegetables and seasonal fruit are handled including a fish store marine products equals. A store of crab, Helicolenus hilgendorfi, the seafood on rice as well as an oyster's can buy fresh seafood for a gift and revolving sushi Hokuriku area is enriched. There are a lot of stores where I close business in the evening, so it's recommended to enjoy breakfast and lunch.

Something good to be eaten at a storefront.

The store where raw sea urchin, oysters and Grilled Skewers are eaten at the place.

"Omicho Market" then, the store where you can buy a gift and taste goods which equal a storefront by the place is also enriched. The sea urchin and the oysters with outstanding freshness a connoisseur chose can taste gusto best while being raw. There is also a store to which the seafood Grilled Skewers baked fragrantly in front of the store is offered, and appetite is aroused by the fragrance. When I say Charcoal-broiled Fish at Kanazawa, loach, if, the local specialty which is to the extent I say, "Grilled Skewers of loach" is one I'd like to eat by a snack sense. It's inevitable just to walk seasonal cut fruits and soft ice cream with gold foil appropriate for Kanazawa to the dessert unexpectedly and be excited.

The history some restaurant district which represents Kanazawa

The landscape of Main Street. That the tone of the shamisen and the Japanese-style room drum is being heard at night.

The one in the restaurant district where "by a day, with the selling point of, each one restaurant district" was made east and west around 1820 (1820) which is spread in among the restaurant district where 3 are in Kanazawa-shi and the east side on Asano river. A building of a handsome red shell (red ocher) grid is at that time here because war damage of the Second World War was avoided, a condition is left. Main Street of a stone pavement is dotted with a building at the restaurant where Japanese-style room play is done. Of the hairstylist place where Mr. geisha goes to a lane aside of it, a dance and a shamisen, a rehearsal, a place, you can have that, look at the streets where the feelings of the total are here and take a walk comfortably.

When walking a lane, it's fun discovery.

A nice store stands in a row in the lane where the feelings float.

The store where it's also fashionable in a mazy lane is much. When looking down to depend on a retrospective sign, nice space spreads. A house in the midst of the busy town of the the end of Edo period near the bus stop was restored, when dropping in at "by a day, with the selling point of, restaurant rest house", a stationed volunteer guide tour guide "It's every time, oh." guides me the circumference.

Asano river is called an another name "Onagawa", and a neighborhood is giving taste off appropriate for Kanazawa. To be located in the west side on the Asano river, "Shukeicho restaurant district". An old name of the town restored for the first time nationwide in 1999, and it was Shukeicho formally. Being a place by Kyoka Izumi's relation of the author, and when wishing for a town from a bridge of Asano river big bridge and a medium, a worldview of an artistic novel is still felt. A box seat is built and entertained with a Kaga dish in a riverbed in summer.

I walk along a slope in the stone steps where a restaurant district and a residential area are tied.

The landscape of the light slope. It's dim even in the daytime like the darkness slope.

When I enter a thin lane, you can meet the landscape full of feelings wetly. There are 2 slopes in the neighborhood, and the daytime doesn't also get the sun in a slope in the stone steps where Kazuemachi restaurant district and a shrine on the slope are tied "the darkness slope", and it's said that they passed for my husband people to avoid the eyes of others and meet Mr. geisha formerly. On the other hand, "the light slope" remembered Kyoka Izumi who wrote the beautiful work which lights up the light at dark night, and was called in recent years. After taking a walk through a lane unexpectedly, it's also recommended to rest from a building in a house in the midst of the busy town at the cafe, Restaurant and the bar where a renovation was done.

There is around Teramachi where I crossed Saigawa called "Ogawa", like "by a day, with the selling point of, restaurant district", it was made around 1820 (1820), "with the selling point of, restaurant district". Taste is much as a grid goes out and is beautiful restaurant construction. Though the scale is compact, that the number of Mr. active geisha is largest, "with the selling point of, restaurant district". Tradition of Kanazawa geisha is being told at the restaurant Mr. glance still declined. If the atmosphere of the Japanese-style room play is tasted, it's to "Kanazawa-shi Nishichaya Shiryokan Museum". A Japanese-style room at the restaurant on a vermilion wall is reproduced, and it can be visited for free of charge.

It's dotted with a Japanese and Western sweets store. Around here, a ninja temple.

The store where thick bean-meal soup and sweet red bean paste soup are popular.

It's also "with the selling point of, restaurant district" that a Japanese and Western sweets store equals a small street such as a long-established store store in Rakugan and a noted store of Sweet Beans, well. In the teahouse and the cafe which are establishing as an annex if a gift is bought, by all means. It's also recommended to taste a soft ice cream, a parfait and thick bean-meal soup at the space full of aim of the total.
There is also a "Miyotachi temple" learned about as a ninja temple around here right now (Worship needs reservation.) An interesting device such as a pitfall and the well where you hide it and say that it was a way out to stairs and Kanazawa castle is jam-packed.
