Kanazawa Travel Blogs

I went to Kanazawa with four friends of mine. Kanazawa is a city on the Japanese west cost, towards the Sea of Japan. It is capital of Ishikawa Prefecture and the home of half a million people, but that's not why we went there. No, the highlights of Kanazawa and its surroundings are history, tradit…
