Kanazawa is a city on the west coast of Honshu, Japan's main island, that's often overlooked by tourists flocking to Tokyo and Kyoto. However, this beautiful city is home to a stunning gold-leaf production industry, beautiful Kenrokuen Garden, and a well-preserved Edo-era (1603-1867) district. Visitors can explore the city's many temples, museums, and gardens, and sample some of the region's famous seafood.
