The castle's white walls stood out against the blue sky, and it was a spectacular sight.

The kids had fun running around in the large park. #Breathtaking view #Kanazawa #Castle #Outing with kids #Castle tour

Kanazawa, in the Ishikawa region, is probably one the best spot to visit during this season. They have the best sakura view in the Kanazawa Castle with night light.

Little Kyoto - Kanazawa. Compared with Kyoto, there are relatively fewer people. You can have a Japanese kimono experience and take beautiful kimono photos at Kenrokuen Garden, the tea house, and Kanazawa Castle. We booked to select the kimono at 10am and the kimono had to be returned before 4:30. I thought I had plenty of time, but because the scenery around me was so beautiful, I just managed to return it before 4:30 😜 Also not to be missed is the Omicho Market, where you can choose to eat sashimi and sea urchin standing up in shops along the way. You can also choose to go inside and enjoy it. The dry goods market is also not to be missed, I also bought a lot of good things 🤭 Take the train from Kanazawa to Fukui, the scenery along the way is beautiful. Of course, the one that cannot be missed is Tojinbo. The unique cliff scenery is a challenge for photography enthusiasts. If time permits, you can enjoy a cup of tea and slowly appreciate the sunset, which is also a beautiful thing🌅 I hope you also have a happy experience in Kanazawa💞

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck 🏯 #KanazawaCastle Kanazawa Castle It is one of the largest ancient castles in Japan. The area around the castle is surrounded by the old town and Kenrokuen Garden, which is a large and famous garden. It is another popular tourist attraction in Kanazawa. The day I went, it snowed quite heavily and there was a break, but it was beautiful in another way. I want to say that the castle area is very wide. The entrance to the castle is a bridge, so you can see the castle. It is beautiful. It is even more beautiful when the sky is clear. It is a pity that I did not go inside the castle. #Getting there: From JR Kanazawa Station, take the bus to Kenrokuen Garden, about 4 stops, or if you want to walk, it takes about 25 minutes. 🕰️Opening hours: Open daily from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. (October - February: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) Entrance fee: There is no admission fee for the garden. But there is an admission fee inside the castle. If you have time, I recommend it. #Traveling in Japan by yourself #Traveling to Kanazawa

#2024TravelReview Kanazawa Castle - "A 100,000-koku daimyo who graced the cultural city" 🔔Origin: The name "Kanazawa" is said to come from a man named "Imogoro Fujigoro" who washed the golden sand from potatoes into a well when digging potatoes. This is why it is called "Kanazawa Reizawa", which means "golden swamp". 📚History: Built in 1546, it was originally one of the Buddhist temples in Japan for preaching to believers. It ruled the Kaga region for more than 100 years in a "unity of politics and religion" manner. In 1583, Nobunaga's subordinate "Maeda Toshiie" established a castle town in Kanazawa, and it gradually shifted from a religious rule to a shogunate territory. A total of 14 daimyo Maeda Toshiie ruled Kanazawa. The Maeda family had the highest salary among all the daimyo, so it was also known as the "million-koku daimyo"! ! But because of this, the shogunate was deeply afraid of them. The Maeda family was well aware of this, and even when the castle tower caught fire, they did not rebuild it, in order to show their loyalty to the shogunate! ! 📖Supplementary knowledge: "Million-koku Daimyo": During the Edo period, the Maeda family had the highest salary among all the daimyo, and could be said to be rich enough to rival a country. However, because the shogunate was wary of them, the family stopped expanding their territory and army, and instead developed more literary interests such as culture, Noh, and cuisine. Gold leaf: This is a famous product of Kanazawa. There are two reasons why it is so famous. First: Because "Imoho Fujigoro" kept washing golden sand from potatoes into the well, which is what we now call gold foil! ! Second: The Maeda family continued to develop art crafts such as Kanazawa lacquerware, Kaga gold painting, Kaga inlay, gold foil processing, as well as life culture such as Noh, tea ceremony, and cuisine. The credible statement that the colorful traditional crafts of Kanazawa today have been formed is relatively high~~ ✨Must-see highlights: ~Fifty Longhouses~ It was a facility built during the war to protect the Ninomaru, and its main purpose was to store weapons. What you see today is the building that was rebuilt after a fire in 1759. It can be said to be the longest restoration project! ! ～Ishikawa Gate～ It is a "National Important Cultural Property". It was not affected by the fire in 1759 and successfully escaped bombing during World War II. Therefore, its historical significance is extremely important. It is an important gate on the east side of the castle site. Don't forget to stop and look up when you walk past it~~ 📍Address: 1-1 Marunouchi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: March 1st to October 15th 07:00～18:00 October 16th to the last day of February 08:00-17:00 ⏰Sometimes there will be free early morning opening, the time is very random, I don’t know ~ hahahaha 🎟️Average consumption: Free! ! 🆓 💞Recommended reasons: 1. Those who love architecture or related subjects must visit, especially the "Fifty Long Houses" 2. It is an important national cultural property! ! 3. For those who love history and Japanese culture, you must come here to experience the rich atmosphere of the Edo period 4. The most important thing is ~ it’s free!

#FuriTabiWinter This is the ruins of a castle that was the residence of the Maeda clan, the lord of Kaga during the Edo period, located in Kanayama City. The castle ruins have been designated a national historic site, and the area including the castle ruins has been developed as Kanazawa Castle Park. It is adjacent to Kenrokuen Garden and is a popular tourist spot representing Ishikawa Prefecture. A recommended sight is the sea cucumber wall. It is a mosaic-patterned wall that can be seen on the exterior walls of Ishikawa Gate and Gojuken Nagaya. It is a construction method in which flat tiles are lined up and pasted on the wall, and plaster is piled up in a kamaboko shape and applied to the joints of the tiles. It is also called a museum of stone walls, as you can see a group of stone walls with different styles of stone processing and stacking. There are still engravings remaining, so be sure to look for them. #Ishikawa #IshikawaTrip #IshikawaTour #Kanazawa #KanazawaTrip #KanazawaTour #CastleTour #DomesticTrip #GirlsTrip #SoloTrip

Visiting Kanazawa Castle offers a chance to experience the architecture and design elements of Japan’s Edo period, emphasizing beauty and functionality.

Kanazawa Castle Park, Ishikawa Prefecture, is where Kanazawa Castle, the symbol of Kanazawa, stands. Along with Kenrokuen Garden, this place is one of the prefecture's most famous spots. It was built in earnest by Maeda Toshiie, a warlord and lord of the Kaga domain during the Sengoku period, and prospered as the castle of 14 generations of the Maeda family until the Meiji period. Due to repeated fires, most of the buildings from that time were destroyed, but the only one that still retains the appearance of the time, such as Ishikawa Gate, has been designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan! When I visited, it was just the time when the castle was lit up, and the exterior of Kanazawa Castle lit up in blue was very fantastic, and the castle interior was also lit up everywhere, and the scenery that can only be seen at night spread out before my eyes 👀 The history and culture of the Kaga Domain's million koku domain is strongly conveyed to the present day, and I was able to take a leisurely stroll around the castle on a long autumn night while feeling that history 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚌] ① Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station, and get off at "Kenrokuenshita/Kanazawa Castle", a short walk away -————————————— #Autumn Trip #Ishikawa Prefecture #Ishikawa Trip #Kanazawa #Kanazawa Trip #Kanazawa Castle #Kanazawa Castle Park #Light Up #Toshiie Maeda #Kaga Domain's Million Koku Domain #Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property #Feeling History #Love History #Trip to Touch History and Culture #Camera Trip #SLR #canoneoskissx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Cutout world #Traveling in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel
