Kanazawa City (かなざわし) is located in the Hokuriku region of Japan, is the most beautiful city in Hokuriku, a famous tourist city in Japan, and Kawabata Yasunari's Snow Country is located in this area. There is Kenrokuen, which is known as the first of Japan's "Three Famous Gardens", and is known as "Little Kyoto".
Kanazawajyo, Kanazawa Castle: One of Japan's 100 famous castles, near Kanazawa-in, is adjacent to Kenrokuen, and the castle keep buildings have not been rebuilt after a fire, and few civil structures have been destroyed after several natural disasters.
The Ishikawa Gate opposite Kenrokuen Garden, which consists of a kuma, a tatsumi, and an iron ingot wall, is a remnant of Kanazawa Castle and is listed as a national cultural relic.
Kenrokuen Kenrokuen: Listed as one of Japan's special places of interest, it covers an area of about 11.7 hectares. Originating in the mid-17th century, the Kaga Domain's outer castle in Kanazawa Castle is a Ikezumi-style garden represented by the Edo period.
Kenrokuen Garden, along with Korakuen Garden in Okayama City and Kai-en Garden in Mito City, is known as the three famous gardens in Japan.
One of Japan's 100 cherry blossom viewing spots, it is run by castles, and Japanese rockeries and pavilions can be found everywhere.
Higashichaya Old Town, Higashichaya Street: Kanazawa is the largest teahouse street that has continued from the Edo period to the present day. Set in 1820, it is now selected as an important preservation area for traditional buildings. The tea houses on both sides of the cobblestone road are high-end eating streets that retain the prosperity of the past.
Walking in the street, you will often see tourists in kimono taking pictures, and the shops on both sides sell various small items and wagashi fruits.
Kanazawa is rich in gold leaf, and there are a variety of gold leaf products on both sides of the tea house street, and one of the gold leaf ice cream shops called "Foil One" is particularly famous, so you must not miss it here.
Oyama Shrine: Located on the north side of Kaoribe in the city center, Oyama Shrine was built in 1599 as an iconic shrine in Kanazawa and designated as a national cultural property.
The shrine's shrine is a fusion of Japanese, Western, and Naka styles, and has become a landmark building in Kanazawa due to its unique shape and magnificent appearance.
Omicho Market: Raw meat is not attractive to tourists, and there is no way to process it. Fruit stalls are also rarely visited. The most lively is the seafood stall, which sells crabs. Now there are Chinese Simplified show that it seems that the Chinese tourist market is huge and goes with the trend. After taking a circle of quotes, the price of each store is similar. It feels like Hakodate is cheaper than the market, and the 2KG live king crab is only 18,000 yen. Oysters, scallops, sea urchins, peony shrimp, etc., are also available, that is, there are fewer stalls, and they are eaten directly in front of the stalls.
I thought I could eat Echizen crab, but the whole market seems to be full of kaone crab, and there is no comparison between which is delicious. Suddenly found a phenomenon, there is a brand of crab seems to be relatively cheap (do not understand the Japanese bitter ah), asked the store, it turned out to be missing crabs, so sell cheap. Crabs of the same size, one foot less, can be almost half cheaper.
Myoryuji - Ninja Temple: I have booked a visit to Kanazawa Myoriji Temple in Japan and arrived at Myoriji Temple in Teramachi at 8:50 a.m. By placing your name on the temple gate, you can enter the room. There are about 50 people on one visit, divided into 4-5 groups, and the tour is carried out according to different routes. Knowing that I was Chinese, the docent was very enthusiastic about dividing all the foreigners into a group, and everyone had a translation booklet of explanatory words (there were Chinese explanatory words), which was consistent with the order of the Japanese docents, and there was no need to worry about not understanding them.
Myōriji Temple, also known as the Ninja Temple, was founded by the third generation lord Maeda Toshihide, but in fact, in the Edo period, the Kaga domain lord Toshi often made soldiers ready for battle, so many temples were built around Kanazawa Castle. Located in the center of the Teramachi temple complex, Myoriji Temple is a place to monitor hostilities and is also a prayer house for the lord of the Maeda clan. Since there are many traps, traps, secret passages, secret doors, etc. in Myoriji Temple, it is also called "Ninja Temple", but it has nothing to do with ninjas.
The temple looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact, the interior is a 7-story building, with 23 rooms, 29 stairs, and 20 or 30 hidden doors, mechanisms, hidden ladders, etc., which are used to monitor the surrounding area and prevent enemy invasion, and also for the lord of the clan to quickly break away from the enemy when praying. The lecture lasted for nearly an hour, and when I came out of the gate, I found that the door was crowded with tourists for the next appointment.
It has to be said that it was a wonderful journey, and I have not seen so many institutions gathered in a temple that looks like a two-story building anywhere else. There are more than 70 temples in Teramachi, the vast majority of which are closed to the public.
