Kanazawa is known as a history rich city. a lot of touristic development have been made. It’s also known as a little Kyoto. H has been a popular tourist destination in recent years. Should one visit? Yes as a tourist destination. There still local places? Yes if you look hard. Do I meet locals? Yes but you really need to look hard. Did I like it? Mixed thought. I dint like to be trapped in touristy attractions or something made for tourists. And that’s because I am Japanese. But I would sure take my visitors there, or even my Japanese friends who love visit tourist attractions.
One advise. Japanese foods, especially specialities are often seasonal. So if you want to eat something like crabs, “hotaru ika” squids, or iwagaki oysters, then, you need to visit there when they are seasonal, which is like early winter to early spring.
