A Slow Day in Kanazawa: Art & Serenity 🎐

#cityplaybook

Kanazawa, a city rich in history and traditional craftsmanship, offers a peaceful escape for those who love art, culture, and quiet charm. Whether you’re wandering the old samurai districts or admiring delicate confections, there’s something calming around every corner.

🎨 Kanazawa Confectionery Wooden Mold Museum
A hidden gem showcasing intricate wooden molds once used to shape traditional sweets. The level of detail is stunning—and you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for Japanese wagashi culture.

⛩ Oyama Shrine
Famous for its unique mix of Japanese, Chinese, and Western architecture. The stained glass gate is especially photogenic.

🏯 Nagamachi Samurai District
Step back in time as you stroll the cobblestone streets lined with earthen walls and preserved residences. It’s a beautifully quiet area full of historic atmosphere.

Why I recommend this area:
・You can enjoy traditional arts and historic architecture at a relaxed pace
・Fewer crowds mean more time to slow down and soak in the details

📍Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture
