Sometimes called “Little Kyoto,” Kanazawa is a superb destination in its own right. It’s home to one of Japan’s best gardens, some superb museums, well preserved traditional neighborhoods and some great restaurants. And now, with a direct shinkansen (bullet train) connection to Tokyo, it makes the perfect addition to the usual Tokyo-Kyoto itinerary.
