The Shinkansen has just expanded to Kanazawa, with the fastest trains taking only 2.5 hours to Tokyo. The main railway station has been renovated to celebrate this new service.
Kanazawa Castle was first established in the late 16th century. It endured a number of fires and reconstructions since then.
Across from the castle is Kenrokuen, one of the 3 most beautiful gardens in Japan. It opened to the public in 1874 and is a great place to admire the autumn foliage.
