Japan

A 4-day trip to Kanazawa

Kanazawa is 'little Kyoto' without the crowds — gold-leaf crafts, a samurai district, and one of Japan's best gardens.

Kanazawa is the untouched Edo-era city the crowds miss — a samurai district, geisha teahouses, and Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three great gardens. It's on the shinkansen now; come for a day from Tokyo and stay for the seafood market and gold leaf. Less crowded than Kyoto, just as beautiful.
