Hotels in Kanazawa

Often called Japan’s “Little Kyoto,” Kanazawa is a city of extraordinary cultural depth — yet without the crowds. Located on the Sea of Japan coast in Ishikawa Prefecture, Kanazawa was one of the few Japanese cities to escape World War II bombing, preserving an astonishing wealth of Edo-period architecture, craft traditions, and cultural institutions. From Kenroku-en, one of Japan’s three greatest gardens, to preserved geisha districts, samurai quarters, and a world-class contemporary art museum, Kanazawa rewards every kind of traveller.
