Things to do in Kanazawa

Beautiful garden. Avoid midday in summer or bring a fan! The teahouses inside can be a little pricey but are a welcome break from the heat.

Interesting layout. Enjoyed my hour there, but it wasn’t as much art in there as I imagined. The pool was very popular with tourists, and you have to book ahead to be able to enter.
