Kanazawa was the most mellow but also most beautiful place I visited on my trip in Japan. I had budgeted time for one extra day outside of Tokyo Osaka and Kyoto… I was able to see everything in that one day and it was a peaceful place to enjoy before my last night in Tokyo.

We liked Kanazawa so much, and it is still preserved from "massive tourism", it also allowed us to travel to the countryside on day trips.
Great video, a very complete summary of the town IMO.

Kanazawa was an unexpected delight on my trip. My wife and I spent more time walking around in the evening. I was a nice change of pace from Tokyo. We stumbled into the castle gardens late in the evening and we were treated to a light show. There are also a ton of shops with local handmade goods. You missed the hidden ninja temple and the bunny girl bar.

I LOVED kanazawa ! Such a nice place to visit. Had some amazing food and it was a blast to walk around the samurai district and Higashiya. Also had a lot of fun with local people I met at an Izakaya and ended up in a bar drinking whiskies and chatting with locals. Same kind of feeling you get in Kyoto but much more peaceful. Definitely recommend!

Even in the pouring rain, it's amazing just how stunningly beautiful that place is. Everywhere you went just had such a wonderful almost magical vibe. I love that there are still these little pockets of history tucked away here and there. The Edo period really did have some amazing streets.. Thank you for sharing this Sarah! It's definitely on my list now!

I love this district. Especially Higashi-chaya; but I love to see all of those places with the old architecture. Thank you for the video.

Visited Kanazawa, among the other big cities, a couple of weeks ago with my wife and we loved it. The crafts, gardens, the castle and streets, the people - all of the things that make you fall in love with Japan really stands out in Kanazawa. Highly recommend the place!

Sarah as a fellow Aussie I must say I love your vibe and it’s so refreshing to hear an Aussie accent on travel vlogs these days

What a beautiful place. I admire your determination to make such a awesome video in the pouring rain ☔. This place is definitely going on my Japan Wishlist 🫶

Great video! Really upbeat and felt like you had such a positive vibe right from the start. Brought my mood way up. Definitely want to visit the castle, Edo street and Kenrokuen Garden one day.

Beatiful and nice trip to Kanazawa my favorite city with Fukuoka! Amazing video....thanks Sarah😊

I had my first visit in Kanazawa this year, due to the extreme heat my sightseeing was limited to the Castle park. Definitely returning next year for a multi day visit. GREAT VIDEO

[FartinBaNaNas]

[TheIntellect]

I was in Kanazawa about 30 years ago. Thanks for making this nice video.

[michaelpereira]

Great videos, I'm visiting Japan later this month and dropped a few pins of your Kanazawa recommendations. Thank you

[Highwind]

ooo Kanazawa castle! love that place it's been on one of my spots to visit ever since you and Emma did a live stream there last year, I hope you and Emma can stream together again soon 🤞

I visited Kanazawa on my trip last September, too. What surprised me most was just how stylish people were. People in Tokyo are bleeding edge hip, people in Osaka are grungy hip, people in Kyoto are classy, but Kanazawa was something else. Almost felt like they were putting in extra effort to not be seen as country bumpkins or something. The best thing about it is that it's super well connected and easily reached via Shinkansen, definitely worth dropping by for yet another flavor of Japan as part of an itinerary. The 21st century museum was another fun destination I'd recommend, if you can stand modern art.
