📍 "Kanazawa 21st Century Art Museum"
Nagoya 5 days 4 nights trip, of course the surrounding location Kanazawa is a must-visit! If you happen to have a 3-day itinerary in the surroundings, it is recommended to purchase a Shiryudo Bus Pass for 3 days to probably save around 2000-4000 yen (depending on the itinerary).
There are many natural landscapes and art buildings in Kanazawa, and the attractions are quite concentrated and easy to walk! Morning Departure from Kanazawa Station > First to Omicho Market for brunch > 21st Century Art Museum > Then go to Kenrokuen and Kanazawa Castle.
