TOP5 Best Gourmet Hotels and Ryokans in Ishikawa
Kanazawa is blessed with mountains and the sea close at hand, and fresh and delicious food such as Kaga vegetables and seafood are easily available. As in Kyoto, a traditional food culture is deeply rooted in Kanazawa, and I believe that there are many high-level restaurants despite the fact that it is a regional city. Some visitors even come all the way from Tokyo and Osaka just to enjoy a meal in Kanazawa. You will find that the culinary culture of Kanazawa, which flourished as a castle town, is still being carried on today.
