Where is Kanazawa Japan? Map of Kanazawa

Which part of Japan is Kanazawa?

Kanazawa is one of the most interesting visits you can do on the coast of the Sea of Japan. The city, located in Ishikawa Prefecture, had some historical relevance as it was home to one of the most important feudal families of the Tokugawa period: the Maeda clan.

Until a few years ago, getting to Kanazawa involved quite a few hours of transportation, and yet the city was popular.

Thanks to the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen line that connects Tokyo to Kanazawa by bullet train in 2 hours and 28 minutes, the city has seen tourism increase enormously. Well, he deserves it!
