Store your luggage around Kanazawa with Bounce
Kanazawa is a city in Japan’s Hokuriku region, bounded by the Toyama Prefecture to the east and the Sea of Japan to the west. Located between the rivers Asano and Sai, it’s the capital of the Ishikawa Prefecture. Throughout the Edo Period, the Maeda Clan occupied Kanazawa and considered it a city of incredible cultural achievements. At present, Kanazawa maintains its status as one of the region's most important and historic cities due to its rich history and abundance of tourist attractions.
Although Kanazawa may be less known than its “sister city” of Kyoto, it has plenty to offer in terms of cultural experiences and points of interest, such as museums, temples, and shrines. Aside from the world-class sights, it’s also considered one of the best-preserved cities from the Edo period in the entire country and is a great introduction for people who may be seeing Japan for the first time.
While it’s located in the mountainous area of Hokuriku, it’s worth going the extra mile and considered a top-notch destination. Whether walking through Kenroku-en Garden, sampling street food in Omicho Market, or discovering the Kanazawa Phonograph Museum, your itinerary will be full.
