Japan Planning: First time in Kanazawa The golden city 

ummm,.... Kanazawa Castle has been burned down multiple times, so almost everything here is a reconstruction of the 1850's version. Not in this video but I'm guessing you went to Myōryū-ji ... I hate ninja and samurai and almost anything from Warring States period ... but this temple was founded by one of my heroes Maeda Toshiie ... we are Soto Zen Buddhist and this place is Nichiren but it's all ok ! (^_^)

Kanazawa was definitely my favourite city on my first trip to Japan last year. So much variety of experiences and Omichou food market was a total knockout! I kept going back there 😂

Fantastic guide to Kanazawa! Thank you Ninja Monkey. I’m adding this to my list when I return to Japan next year. That Morihachi sweet shoppe looks amazing!! ❤

Kanazawa is a place I heard very little about. As such it wasn't really on my radar. The parks, gardens, and the historical buildings and streets have convinced me that I have to spent three or four days in this city. Your video has showed me that this a magical location, that should not be missed. Probably not going try the fish, but will definitely trying Morihachi set at there shop. Can't wait for you to show me more. This city looks amazing.

Hey Ninja Monkey Guy, I just added a few days in Kanazawa to a trip in March 2024. Where is the 'unique dashi restaurant' you ate at? Have you released a video on that yet? Thanks a lot🙂👍

Thanks to this video , I have made Kanazawa a destination in end of April trip with my daughter to Japan. I booked the JR pass and accommodations and now I know of some great places to visit. Keep up the great work with your videos.

Hi Nathan. I'm going to Japan at the end of April 2024 and would like to include Kanazawa, but I heard that several attractions are closed now due to the earthquake. Would you recommend it or it's better to avoid it? Thank you very much.

This is very timely for I'll be there in only a few weeks! :D

Where are the bars you were at please. Tried to find some tonight but no luck! Only one more night here 😢

Nice Primer for Kanazawa! I didn't notice the Famous Train Station Gate? that's associated with Kanazawa?

Thanks for the guide Ninja 🐒 now I'll definitely go back and stay more , last time I only stayed a night

Brother we love you! We have the best trip in Japan ever, following your recommendations! Ninja the best 🎉

Hi Ninja Monkey! Love your videos, heading to Japan in two weeks - Which temple are you speaking of that has open to tourists? thanks

I could swear this video had a good title last week and now it's some clickbait bs

Great video as always dude🙏🏻 appreciate the information. This is certainly my kinda japan, a must visit for my list.

While I couldn’t visit Kanazawa in august thanks to a typhoon 😢 I can better prepare for it next year❤

Yea all good points, its very far to make it a day trip though especially with young kids. Hard to compete with disneyland for them 😂

I will be visiting Kanazawa this November and am so excited! Thanks for the great guide!

What a fantastic guide! I wish I saw this before going there last week. It makes me want to revisit and stay a bit longer. Thank you!

Love this video! This has persuaded me to include Kanazawa to my itinerary. ❤

Now I need ro fetch some sweets for the stream. Thank you for the video Nathan. Kanazawa is on the list for the second journey to Japan now.

This was a really excellent video, Nathan! Very classy. The editing was on point, too.

Lots of good information, I see I’ll have to go back there a third time! The gardens look a lot more lush than when I was there a few years back.

Kanazawa looks fantastic. Will definitely have to consider it on my next itinerary to Japan.

Love Kanazawa the train station entrance is beautiful .Wooden statue in front pretty .Loved the castle went twice and gardens stunning .Loved having gold leaf ice cream

Thank you for the video 😊. I promised the guide that i will visit Kanazawa castle again when they finished the renovation.

It looks amazing! I love old Japan ⛩️

I have a question

Great video Nathan!

Those gardens!

Thanks Nathan.
