Ishikawa Hidden Gems
Berceau de Kanazawa, la « petite Kyoto » du Hokuriku. Le jardin Kenrokuen (l'un des trois grands jardins du Japon), le quartier des maisons de thé Higashi Chaya, les fruits de mer du marché Omicho et l'artisanat de la feuille d'or composent une ville raffinée et sans cohue.
25 spots
L'ancien domaine de Kaga : une ville fortifiée qui a investi sa richesse dans l'artisanat et les jardins, plus une péninsule rurale de laque et de marais salants.
Climat et meilleure saison
Hivers humides, gris et modérément enneigés ; étés également humides. Le printemps et l'automne sont parfaits pour les jardins.
