//** Introduction of Kanazawa City 

//> Kanazawa, one of the biggest cities on the northern coast of Japan, has a population of 450,000. Kanazawa is a castle town for three centuries after the first lord Toshiie Maeda entered Kanazawa Castle in 1583. 

//> The city is surrounded by the Japan Alps, Hakusan National Park and Noto Peninsula National Park. Such a natural background of great beauty gives the city a relaxed feeling. The development of its special products like rice, sake, sweets, etc. was due to its temperate and rainy climate with heavy snow in winter. Rich seafood is provided from the sea just in front.

//> Since the Kaga Clan invited many artists and craftsmen to this area, it achieved a high level of craftsmanship that continues to flourish to this day. The buildings that gave birth to these traditions stand tranquilly and blend in with the modern atmosphere in Kanazawa to create a charming ancient castle town.
