KANAZAWA, JAPAN (2026) | Top Things To Do In Kanazawa (For A One Day Visit)

Kanazawa is located on the central coast of Honshu along the Sea of Japan. Having escaped the destruction of World War Two, it is one of Japan’s best-preserved cultural gems that retains much of its authenticity. A major perk is that the top attractions are within walking distance of one another, making it incredibly easy to navigate the city on foot. In this video, we highlight the best things to do that fit in a one day visit. 😴 WHERE TO STAY IN KANAZAWA: - Henn na hotel Kanazawa Korimbo ($ - where we stayed): https://www.booking.com/hotel/jp/henn-na-kanazawa-kourinbou.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 - Tokyu Stay Kanazawa ($$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/jp/dong-ji-suteijin-ze.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 - Kaname Inn Tatemachi ($$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/jp/kaname-inn-tatemachi.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 🎥 MORE JAPAN VIDEOS: - Tokyo: https://youtu.be/CvgC6z8Wrxw - Kyoto: https://youtu.be/aSksCBrDKO8 - Osaka: https://youtu.be/92OFkoyEMk0 - Hiroshima: https://youtu.be/I3HsYv4sNms - Takayama: https://youtu.be/iI20EyJZZ2o - Okinawa: https://youtu.be/ptmKQhvQLxQ - Japan Top 10: https://youtu.be/FTwxtyOEGyM - Japan Travel Guide + Itinerary: https://youtu.be/ep1UL_2wQqI 🗺️ ACCESS GOOGLE MAP & FULL JAPAN GUIDE: https://www.worldwildhearts.com/post/japan-travel-guide ✍️ GET TRAVEL PLANNER AT 50% OFF: https://www.worldwildhearts.com/product-page/comprehensive-travel-planner 💰 SAVE MONEY ON YOUR TRIP & PLATFORMS WE USE: - Book cheap flights: https://skyscanner.pxf.io/c/3559813/1027991/13416?associateid=AFF_TRA_19354_00001 - Book accommodation: https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=7936148 - Book rental car: https://www.discovercars.com/?a_aid=Wordwildhearts - Get ESIM at 15% discount with code WWH15: https://saily.com/worldwildhearts - Book ferry tickets: https://www.ferryhopper.com/?aff_uid=wrwhrts - Find the best hiking trails: https://alltrails.pxf.io/c/3559813/1865884/22353 ✅ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWildHearts 😊 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/worldwildhearts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@worldwildhearts ‼️ Note: some (drone) shots are stock footage from Canva 🎵 MUSIC CREDITS: In Love With You by Ziv Moran Rejoice in the morning by The David Roy Collective Koto Story in Kyoto feat George Nishigomi by Tomo Suzuki Deja Vu by Sero 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 0:59 Nagamachi Samurai District 2:12 Omicho Market 2:51 Higashi Chaya District 3:48 Kanazawa Castle 5:00 Kenroku-en Gardens 6:06 Kanazawa Travel Itinerary #kanazawa #japan #travelguide
