    Now I need ro fetch some sweets for the stream. Thank you for the video Nathan.
    Kanazawa is on the list for the second journey to Japan now.

  7. Caroline

    Lots of good information, I see I’ll have to go back there a third time! The gardens look a lot more lush than when I was there a few years back.

  8. JoshuaJ

    Kanazawa looks fantastic. Will definitely have to consider it on my next itinerary to Japan.

    Kanazawa was definitely my favourite city on my first trip to Japan last year. So much variety of experiences and Omichou food market was a total knockout! I kept going back there 😂

    Thanks for the guide Ninja 🐒 now I'll definitely go back and stay more , last time I only stayed a night

  13. A Lito Bit of Japan

    What a fantastic guide! I wish I saw this before going there last week. It makes me want to revisit and stay a bit longer. Thank you!

    Kanazawa is a place I heard very little about. As such it wasn't really on my radar. The parks, gardens, and the historical buildings and streets have convinced me that I have to spent three or four days in this city. Your video has showed me that this a magical location, that should not be missed. Probably not going try the fish, but will definitely trying Morihachi set at there shop. Can't wait for you to show me more. This city looks amazing.

    ummm,…. Kanazawa Castle has been burned down multiple times, so almost everything here is a reconstruction of the 1850's version. Not in this video but I'm guessing you went to Myōryū-ji … I hate ninja and samurai and almost anything from Warring States period … but this temple was founded by one of my heroes Maeda Toshiie … we are Soto Zen Buddhist and this place is Nichiren but it's all ok ! (^_^)
