Kanazawa castle
Kanazawa Castle was home to the Maeda family during their rule of the Kaga domain (present-day Ishikawa and around). The castle was built in 1580 and has suffered many devastating fires, most recently in 1881. However, some buildings have been faithfully rebuilt.
Kenrokuen Garden
Kenrokuen is an expansive Japanese-style strolling garden located next to Kanazawa Castle. Its blend of diverse garden elements has made it one of the most famous gardens in Japan.http://www.pref.ishikawa.jp/siro-niwa/kenrokuen/
Higashi-Chaya District
Higashi-Chaya is the largest of Kanazawa’s three historic entertainment, or “teahouse,” districts. It was established in 1820 as a place for geiko (the local name for geisha) to entertain wealthy merchants with music, dance, and games. The district’s traditional wooden buildings and lattice-work windows retain the atmosphere of their 200-year history. Today, many of these buildings function as cafes, restaurants, sweet shops, and craft shops, but some are still geiko teahouses. Although the world of geiko entertainment is exclusive and access must be gained by referral, general visitors can tour some teahouses and see a geiko show.http://www.kanazawa-kankoukyoukai.or.jp/spot_search/spot.php?sp_no=85
