Kanazawa was definitely my favourite city on my first trip to Japan last year. So much variety of experiences and Omichou food market was a total knockout! I kept going back there 😂
Thanks to this video , I have made Kanazawa a destination in end of April trip with my daughter to Japan. I booked the JR pass and accommodations and now I know of some great places to visit. Keep up the great work with your videos.
Kanazawa is a place I heard very little about. As such it wasn't really on my radar. The parks, gardens, and the historical buildings and streets have convinced me that I have to spent three or four days in this city. Your video has showed me that this a magical location, that should not be missed. Probably not going try the fish, but will definitely trying Morihachi set at there shop. Can't wait for you to show me more. This city looks amazing.
Fantastic guide to Kanazawa! Thank you Ninja Monkey. I’m adding this to my list when I return to Japan next year. That Morihachi sweet shoppe looks amazing!! ❤
Love Kanazawa the train station entrance is beautiful .Wooden statue in front pretty .Loved the castle went twice and gardens stunning .Loved having gold leaf ice cream
Hey Ninja Monkey Guy, I just added a few days in Kanazawa to a trip in March 2024. Where is the 'unique dashi restaurant' you ate at? Have you released a video on that yet? Thanks a lot🙂👍
Hi Nathan. I'm going to Japan at the end of April 2024 and would like to include Kanazawa, but I heard that several attractions are closed now due to the earthquake. Would you recommend it or it's better to avoid it? Thank you very much.
I contacted Kanazawa city and they told me that as far as Kanazawa city is concerned, there is almost no damage. You can go around Higashiyama Chaya-gai, Nagamachi Samurai District, Kenrokuen Garden, etc. without any problems. Please visit Kanazawa and support Noto Peninsula! Always follow your countries travel advice and recommendations
ummm,.... Kanazawa Castle has been burned down multiple times, so almost everything here is a reconstruction of the 1850's version. Not in this video but I'm guessing you went to Myōryū-ji ... I hate ninja and samurai and almost anything from Warring States period ... but this temple was founded by one of my heroes Maeda Toshiie ... we are Soto Zen Buddhist and this place is Nichiren but it's all ok ! (^_^)
@@NinjaMonkeyguy hahaha! .... I'm not very familiar with this region,... it's just things you pick up watching NHK historical dramas (^_^) .... hmmm,... kenrokuen .... it reminds me of Rokkaku-Do in Kyoto ... there is a stone there with a six sided hole in it which indicates the geographic center of the city ....
always playing with the title.. what's clickbait to one person is not to another.. Kanazawa is less know so just trying to get people to discover it and visit!

Glad I could convince you to visit! it really is worth the trip.. and the sweets are amazing :)
kanazawa is often overlooked but it is such a great destination. the station itself is already worth seeing.
Fantastic guide to Kanazawa! Thank you Ninja Monkey. I’m adding this to my list when I return to Japan next year. That Morihachi sweet shoppe looks amazing!! ❤
Please do! There is so much to see and explore and the sweet shop was indeed special!
This is very timely for I'll be there in only a few weeks! :D
Perfect! I also made a new experiences in Kanazawa video: ruclips.net/video/mJe1gmsPfSM/видео.htmlsi=JMDQ9VPLJWJ4YU34
Love Kanazawa the train station entrance is beautiful .Wooden statue in front pretty .Loved the castle went twice and gardens stunning .Loved having gold leaf ice cream
I think the Gardens are so amazing too.. I kept on 'detouring" just to walk through them!
Those gardens!
I know right!
Thanks Nathan.

Now I need ro fetch some sweets for the stream. Thank you for the video Nathan.
Kanazawa is on the list for the second journey to Japan now.
You should! its a greaty city with more to see than the video shows!
Lots of good information, I see I’ll have to go back there a third time! The gardens look a lot more lush than when I was there a few years back.
the great thing about those gardens is that they look different in the different seasons!
What a fantastic guide! I wish I saw this before going there last week. It makes me want to revisit and stay a bit longer. Thank you!
Yes! well.. you live in Japan so you can make it happen!
Thank you for the video 😊. I promised the guide that i will visit Kanazawa castle again when they finished the renovation.
Oooh!! which one the main renovation or the new one?
uppss Nagoya castle 😅😅 I eat gold ice cream at Kanazawa
Love this video! This has persuaded me to include Kanazawa to my itinerary. ❤
You should! you wont regret it!
Thanks for the guide Ninja 🐒 now I'll definitely go back and stay more , last time I only stayed a night
yes for sure!
This was a really excellent video, Nathan! Very classy. The editing was on point, too.
Yay, thank you!
Great video Nathan!
Thanks! next one from Kanazawa in a few weeks time :)
Great video as always dude🙏🏻 appreciate the information. This is certainly my kinda japan, a must visit for my list.
I hope you do
While I couldn’t visit Kanazawa in august thanks to a typhoon 😢
I can better prepare for it next year❤
You can do it!

Yes! ruclips.net/video/mJe1gmsPfSM/видео.html
Yea all good points, its very far to make it a day trip though especially with young kids. Hard to compete with disneyland for them 😂
Yes it’s far! More the reason to stay over night
Nice Primer for Kanazawa! I didn't notice the Famous Train Station Gate? that's associated with Kanazawa?
its where you start!
Where are the bars you were at please. Tried to find some tonight but no luck! Only one more night here 😢

Here is the info for the Zen experience! sites.google.com/view/houenji-mamoru/houenji/zen-experience

I could swear this video had a good title last week and now it's some clickbait bs

@@NinjaMonkeyguy Your video is amazing though, but that title got to me 😅
