I went there because I saw it on Instagram and it looked beautiful. But it's a place that left quite an impression on me. First of all, you can't bring anything into the store except valuables, and you're told to put your luggage in a basket outside, but it's a simple luggage storage area that just covers your luggage with a cloth, like the ones you often see in hot spring changing rooms. I was a little worried, but I went in. The receptionist was a little quirky. There is a 1000 yen entrance fee and a photography fee. I personally thought it was a little expensive 🥹 Just like I saw on Instagram, there was dandelion fluff 360 degrees. The fluff was packed in the dimly lit store, and I felt its beauty, but also a little scary. I was told not to touch it, but it was quite close, so you need to walk carefully. You can taste several types of tea inside the store. It has a warm and calming taste. It seems that many people mistake it for a cafe, but it's not a cafe, it's more like a room where you can admire the fluff while drinking tea. When you leave, they sell small items as a donation. I bought the cheapest item because there was no atmosphere where I could refuse, but to be honest, I don't think I needed it🥲 It's a beautiful shop, but it's a bit quirky, so I recommend it to those who want a unique experience lol I don't think I'll be coming back😂 📍Address: 51 Nakagawajocho, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture 920-0975 🕰️Business hours: 12:40-17:00 #0yentrip #Ishikawatrip #Kanazawa #Kanazawatourism #himito

#21stCenturyArtMuseum You can make a reservation to view the pool from 9:00 on your smartphone. You can purchase tickets inside the museum after making a reservation from 9:00. The museum fee varies depending on the exhibition being held. The lowest price in March 2025 is 450 yen. There are many other exhibits besides the pool, so if you look around, the time will fly by for about 2 hours. The time spent in the pool is set at 5 minutes. If you share it with other customers, you may not actually have 5 minutes. Of course, you should be considerate to others, but I felt that it should be 5 minutes per group. Taking videos and touching things in the pool is also prohibited. There are many rules, such as having to leave large luggage in a locker first, so if you are going on a trip, please be careful! 📍Location: 1-2-1 Hirosaka, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 💰Price per person: 450 yen 💞Recommended reason: Enjoy photogenic photos and contemporary art #21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art #Kanazawa Trip #Kanazawa #Ishikawa Trip #Domestic Trip #Asia Trip #Ishikawa Spot #0 Yen Trip

A winter trip to Kanazawa. I happened to know that Kenrokuen would be lit up that night, so I went there right before the night-time entrance time 😊 The weather was good that day, and there was still snow on the ground, so it was easy to take photos ☺️ I learned about yukitsuri for the first time. It is done to prevent the branches of trees from breaking when snow accumulates in winter. The yukitsuri at Kenrokuen seems to be very famous, and a total of 500 gardeners hang them by hand over a month! ! ! ! I was moved. The lighting was very beautiful 🥹 Of course, I think it's a beautiful view during the day, but the lighting up of the yukitsuri at night is fantastic, so if you have the time, please visit and see it ☺️ Finally, the sixth photo is a cute snow rabbit that someone made? Maybe? It was in Kenrokuen ❤︎🐰 #domestictraveltrip #kanazawa #kanazawatrip #kanazawatourism #kenrokuen #kenrokuenlightup #greatviewofjapan #girlstrip #solotrip

📍Ishikawa Kanazawa | Kenrokuen garden Kenrokuen in the snow continues There are so many things I want to take pictures of😆 The horizontal composition is also beautiful✨ No matter where you take a picture, it's a painting, so the shutter won't stop There are really few people in the morning, so it's very relaxing to quietly stare at the silvery world... Actually, Kenrokuen is open for free from 6:00 to 7:45 in the morning, so if you go at that time, you'll have it all to yourself!

#FuriTabiWinter This is the ruins of a castle that was the residence of the Maeda clan, the lord of Kaga during the Edo period, located in Kanayama City. The castle ruins have been designated a national historic site, and the area including the castle ruins has been developed as Kanazawa Castle Park. It is adjacent to Kenrokuen Garden and is a popular tourist spot representing Ishikawa Prefecture. A recommended sight is the sea cucumber wall. It is a mosaic-patterned wall that can be seen on the exterior walls of Ishikawa Gate and Gojuken Nagaya. It is a construction method in which flat tiles are lined up and pasted on the wall, and plaster is piled up in a kamaboko shape and applied to the joints of the tiles. It is also called a museum of stone walls, as you can see a group of stone walls with different styles of stone processing and stacking. There are still engravings remaining, so be sure to look for them. #Ishikawa #IshikawaTrip #IshikawaTour #Kanazawa #KanazawaTrip #KanazawaTour #CastleTour #DomesticTrip #GirlsTrip #SoloTrip

Higashi Chaya District in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It is one of the three Chaya Districts in Kanazawa City. The streetscape of the Geisha district remains here, and the entire Chaya District is a traditional buildings preservation district. Among them, "Kaikaro" and "Shima" are designated as important cultural properties of Japan. "Shima", built as a teahouse in 1820, has remained unchanged since the Edo period. It's a chance to see inside a teahouse that "does not accept first-time customers"! With that in mind, I went in right after it opened. There was a garden and musical instruments used in performing dances and entertainment were on display with explanations. Inside the building, there were various rooms in the building, such as the accounting office where the bill was calculated and the tea room. 👀 There is also a sweet shop "Sanson-an" where you can enjoy matcha tea and sweets. Even though there were no customers or geisha, I could imagine them there performing the tatami room (*^^*) To avoid damaging the building, only cell phones are allowed inside.

Kanazawa Castle Park, Ishikawa Prefecture, is where Kanazawa Castle, the symbol of Kanazawa, stands. Along with Kenrokuen Garden, this place is one of the prefecture's most famous spots. It was built in earnest by Maeda Toshiie, a warlord and lord of the Kaga domain during the Sengoku period, and prospered as the castle of 14 generations of the Maeda family until the Meiji period. Due to repeated fires, most of the buildings from that time were destroyed, but the only one that still retains the appearance of the time, such as Ishikawa Gate, has been designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan! When I visited, it was just the time when the castle was lit up, and the exterior of Kanazawa Castle lit up in blue was very fantastic, and the castle interior was also lit up everywhere, and the scenery that can only be seen at night spread out before my eyes 👀 The history and culture of the Kaga Domain's million koku domain is strongly conveyed to the present day, and I was able to take a leisurely stroll around the castle on a long autumn night while feeling that history 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚌] ① Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station, and get off at "Kenrokuenshita/Kanazawa Castle", a short walk away -————————————— #Autumn Trip #Ishikawa Prefecture #Ishikawa Trip #Kanazawa #Kanazawa Trip #Kanazawa Castle #Kanazawa Castle Park #Light Up #Toshiie Maeda #Kaga Domain's Million Koku Domain #Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property #Feeling History #Love History #Trip to Touch History and Culture #Camera Trip #SLR #canoneoskissx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Cutout world #Traveling in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel

Traveling to snow-covered Kanazawa☆ There's a lot of delicious food in Kanazawa!! So, first of all, we went to Omicho Market. Omicho Market, where delicious local ingredients are gathered, is a paradise for seafood lovers!! It was very crowded with many people looking for seafood caught in the Sea of ​​Japan! It was a really happy time to be able to eat my favorite oysters, shrimp, and sea urchin all on one plate♡ Above all, it was reasonably priced!! Everything was fresh, plump, and melt-in-your-mouth✨ Happiness was jammed in my mouth✨ There is a line at the popular seafood bowl restaurant, but it's worth it◎ Of course, there are plenty of delicious vegetables and fruits other than seafood! After filling up, take a walk to Kenrokuen♪ It's a very beautiful Japanese garden that is well-maintained. It gets crowded during the day, so if you want to go when there are fewer people, I recommend going early in the morning. This was my second time visiting Kenrokuen, but it's a garden that I'd like to visit again and again as it shows different faces depending on the season! There is also a teahouse where you can drink matcha. I had matcha with fresh sweets, and it had a refined taste and was very delicious. In the evening, I went to "Itaru", a shop specializing in Nodoguro. It was crumbly and soft, and needless to say, it was delicious!! And I will never forget the taste of the sake that is only sold at "Itaru"! It was mellow and easy to drink...I could drink as much as I wanted...it went perfectly with Nodoguro!! It's a dish that you should definitely try! Please visit the charming Kanazawa! #IshikawaPrefecture #Kanazawa #Kenrokuen #OmichoMarket #DomesticTravelRecord

Kenrokuen Garden is one of Japan's three most famous gardens, located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. Located in the center of Kanazawa City, it is a stroll-style garden where you can enjoy the beauty of the four seasons, and is one of Kanazawa's top tourist destinations✨ It is a representative feudal lord garden of the Edo period, and is also a historical cultural heritage of Japan that reflects the historical culture of Kaga's million koku domain, which has been shaped over many years by the successive lords of the Kaga domain🥸 I visited this time during the illumination period, which is open for a limited time every year! The illumination period is limited to certain areas, but the representative snow hangings and autumn leaves were illuminated by numerous lights, creating a fantastic space📸 The upside-down view reflected on the water surface was also outstanding! ※The contrast between the garden and the lanterns was a truly "Japanese" landscape It's amazing that the admission fee is free for this 🙏 A stroll through the gardens on a long autumn night 🚶 I felt a little of winter coming 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚌] ①Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station Get off at "Kenrokuenshita/Kanazawa Castle" Just a short walk away [Opening hours🕰️] 7:00-18:00 (March-October 15th) 8:00-17:00 (October 16th-February) *Last admission is 30 minutes before closing *Admission is free during the light-up✌️ [Admission fee💰] Adults: 320 yen Children: 100 yen -—————————————— #Autumn trip #Ishikawa Prefecture #Ishikawa trip #Kanazawa #Kanazawa trip #Kenrokuen #Kenrokuen light-up #Kenrokuen walk #Kaga million stone #Three famous gardens of Japan #Garden scenery #Garden walk #Feel the history #I love history #Journey to touch historical culture #Camera trip #SLR #canoneosx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Cut-out world #Travel in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #Domestic travel record

Myoryuji Temple in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture Also known as the "Ninja Temple," this place is just like a Karakuri mansion, with a pitfall offering box, a hidden staircase hidden in the floorboards, and a well that is said to have a secret passage to Kanazawa Castle. It is a Nichiren sect temple associated with the Maeda family of the Kaga domain, and when it was first built, it also served as a fortress to protect against attacks from enemy forces! The exterior is two stories, but it is actually seven stories tall, and there are more than 20 rooms and staircases, so the interior is like a maze, and it is said that once you step inside, you cannot get out.

I couldn't make it 🥲 And there are dog statues here and there in the temple grounds 🐕 Three dog statues praying towards the main hall, and even a dog bathing in the hot water next to the flower water fountain... I don't know how to describe it... but there was a sense of "healing" there that didn't seem appropriate for a ninja temple 😌 -————————————— [Access 🚌] 1.

The remains of the residences where Kaga clan samurai and warriors lived remain in the "Nagamachi Samurai Residences" in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. From the ochre-colored earthen walls to the stone-paved paths, you can stroll around feeling the atmosphere of the time. 🚶 It is designated as a traditional environment preservation area and the first scenic area in the Hokuriku area, and is open to the public. At the "Samurai Residences Nomura House", you can enjoy the gorgeous buildings and beautiful gardens and feel the Japanese atmosphere. 🍵 There are also other spots where you can feel the history of the time, such as the "Former Kaga clan samurai Takada House Remains", which has a long-house gate from the feudal era open to the public, and the "Kanazawa City Ashigaru Museum", which has a relocated and recreated foot soldier residence. 🥸 It is so quiet that it is hard to believe that it is so close to the downtown area, and you can enjoy different scenery during the day and at night! It was a charming place with a sense of atmosphere, where the old-fashioned streetscape blends naturally into the modern world and makes you feel like you've traveled back in time 😌 -—————————————— [Access🚌] 1.

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture is a famous tourist spot that you can't miss when visiting Kanazawa. It was established with the concept of creating new culture and making the city more lively. 👩🎨 The museum's signature piece, "Swimming Pool" by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich, is a much-talked-about piece that allows people to meet above and below ground through the surface of the pool, and it was extremely popular! In reality, water is just poured over transparent glass, but from above it feels like you're underwater, and below is a space dyed light blue! Each exhibition hall is divided into private rooms, and each room has its own unique worldview! The real Pikachu exhibit was particularly impressive and worth seeing! It was pretty realistic....🐭 The white interior is decorated with walls covered in flowers and cute chairs with bunny ears, and is filled with art and playful ideas that are unique to museums✨ *I also found Takashi Murakami's flower ball💐 Not only inside the museum, but also in the outdoor exhibition area, which is open to the public for free, the world of modern art is spread out, from art pieces that reproduce the three primary colors to art pieces of trumpets sticking out from the grass, making it a museum that is truly like a park! The "Spherical Pavilion" is a collection of many stainless steel spheres, and each landscape reflected in the sphere is subtly different, allowing you to experience a mysterious sense of perspective that draws you into a four-dimensional world like in a science fiction movie! This is a spot you can't miss when sightseeing in Kanazawa, so be sure to visit it at least once 😌 ※Reservations are required for the "swimming pool," so don't forget to make a reservation 🙏 -—————————————— [Access🚌] ①Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station, and get off at "Hirosaka 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art" [Opening hours🕰️] 10:00-18:00 ※Until 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays -————————————— #AutumnTrip #IshikawaPrefecture #IshikawaTrip #Kanazawa #KanazawaTrip #KanazawaTourism #Kanazawa21stCenturyMuseumofContemporaryArt #CameraTrip #SLR #canoneosx9i #ILoveTraveling #TravelRecord #CutOutWorld #TravelingJapan #WhereShouldIGoNext #japan #japantravel #Domestic travel record

Ishiura Shrine is located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. This place is near Kenrokuen, one of the three great gardens in Japan, and the Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, a must-see tourist spot on any trip to Kanazawa. It is a power spot famous for its luck in matchmaking, and its history goes back to the Kofun period, making it known as the oldest shrine in Kanazawa. The first thing you'll notice when you enter the shrine grounds is the stately worship hall. The detailed wood carvings are also preserved in a delicate and elegant form, and a large piece of driftwood was placed right next to the worship hall. Also, unlike other shrines, the fortune-telling slips at Ishiura Shrine have a total of 17 levels of fortune listed! The odds of getting the top "Mifuku" (lucky, lucky, lucky) are... 1 in 3000...it's pure luck 😳 By the way, I got the 8th from the top "Chu Chu Kichi" 😅 Hmm...it's hard to say... It's a rare fortune slip, so many people seem to want to try their luck, because the fortune slip rack was packed with them, creating a "fortune slip trail"! It looks like a wisteria trellis in full bloom✨ The goshuin was written in bold characters as "Ishiura Shrine"🙂↕️ The grounds are also dotted with other interesting spots, such as 101 red torii gates commemorating the change of era to Reiwa, a nightlight tower, and a sacred pond📸 *The 101 red torii gates are arranged to look like the character for "person" when viewed from above, as the hope is that people will cherish the connections between people🤔 Personally, I was impressed by the "upside-down lion dog" and the stone steps in the shape of a "magatama" that look like they might start moving at any moment😌 -—————————————— [Access🚌] ①Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station, Get off at "Hirosaka (Ishiura Shrine)" ② Take the "Furatto Bus" (Zaimoku Route) from JR Kanazawa Station, Get off at "City Hall/21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art" [Shrine office reception hours🕰️] 9:00-16:00 -—————————————— #Autumn trip #Ishikawa Prefecture #Ishikawa trip #Kanazawa #Kanazawa trip #Autumn pilgrimage #Ishiura Shrine #Oldest shrine #Matchmaking #Shrine worship #Goshuin #Goshuin book #Goshuin tour #Shrine and temple tour #Camera trip #Single-lens reflex camera #canoneosskissx9i #Tour of history #Places where you can feel history #Power spot #I love traveling #Travel record #Temple and shrine record #Cut-out world #Traveling Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #Domestic travel record

I went to Kanazawa and Shirakawa-go for 2 nights and 3 days✈️ I'll reveal a schedule that covers all the places you should visit in a limited time! I hope this will be helpful for those who want to visit Kanazawa and Shirakawa-go together🙌 For transportation within Kanazawa city, I recommend the sightseeing bus or the town bus! The town bus only runs on weekends, but it's great value for money as you can access some major tourist spots (Kenrokuen, Nishi Chaya District) for 100 yen one way✨ And the sightseeing bus has bus stops at major tourist spots, and costs from 230 yen one way! If you're sightseeing in Kanazawa for a day, you can ride the sightseeing bus with a one-day free pass, so if you ride the bus more than 4 times, it will pay for itself🚃‼ ️ [Day 1] 11:05✈︎13:15 Okinawa→Komatsu 14:40 Kanazawa Station🚎 15:00 Check-in 15:30～ Kanazawa sightseeing ・Kanazawa Castle ・Kenrokuen ・Ishiura Shrine (Set ticket for Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen available🙆♀️) 18:10 Omicho Market 18:30 Dinner@Ichinokura 20:00 Tsuzumimon@Kanazawa Station 20:10 To accommodation Transportation Komatsu Airport→Kanazawa Station Limousine Bus City sightseeing→Sightseeing bus or Machi bus [Day 2] 8:00 Rental car@Kanazawa Station 9:30 Arrive near Shirakawa-go 10:30 Terao temporary parking lot 10:40～14:40 Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri village ・Shiroyama Tenshukaku Observatory ・Places to eat Irori ・Wada House ・Shirakawago Pudding House 16:30 Return rental car @ Kanazawa Station 17:30 Nagamachi Samurai Residence Ruins 19:00 Return to accommodation Transportation → Rental car (to Shirakawago), Machi Bus (Kanazawa City) Shirakawago → Parking fee 1000 yen (cash💰) [Day 3] 8:20 Check out 9:00 Higashi Chaya District ・Shima ・Walk 10:00 Higashi Chaya District → Kanazawa Station 10:30 Airport limousine bus (Kanazawa Station → Komatsu Airport) 14:05✈︎16:30 Komatsu → Okinawa Unfortunately, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art was closed on Monday, the day I was to return to Okinawa, so I couldn't go...😭 I also wanted to go to the Ninja Temple, so I'll go there next time I visit🧸𓈒 𓏸 #MyTravelItinerary #Kanazawa #Kanazawa trip #Kanazawa sightseeing #Kanazawa Castle #Kenrokuen Garden #Omicho Market #Nagamachi Samurai Residence Site #Higashi Chaya District #Shirakawa-go
