Kanazawa
A visit to the attractions in Kanazawa entails a historical discovery of Japan's unique heritage. In every corner and district, this northwestern city in Ishikawa Prefecture boasts picturesque streetscapes and well-preserved relics dating back to the Edo Period. One of its finest attractions, Kanazawa Castle, draws tourists and locals to explore its restored grandeur, all the way to the towering Hashizume-mon gate, and into the serene gardens of Kenroku-en. Celebrated as one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, the beauty of Kenroku-en blooms under any season. Nearby, rows of teahouses adorn the Higashi Chaya District, where geishas continue to entertain and retain traditional practices.

The staff were friendly and professional. They carries so many beautiful kimono and accessories. So it is worth it to buy the more premium plan. We are very happy with their service.

We had a wonderful time at the tea ceremony, which was led by a very professional woman. The ceremony was conducted in French, which was a real plus. Everything was perfect, and I highly recommend this activity during your stay in Kanazawa.

What a fantastic time. The owner/instructor was great, such a joyous energy. The class exceeded our expectations, it did not just feature sushi but also side dishes and a local specialty. I have never been a huge tamago fan but I guess I just had never made my own. So delicious and doable at home. So happy we took it, cannot recommend it any higher. A must book.

seat reservation process: Easy to do and well worth booking seats.
price: Was a great price to do the whole trip in one go, changed trains at the station half way to our destination and no problems.
pass area coverage: Great views of the country side and had great internet coverage so could still keep in contact with people.

If you're traveling in the Hokuriku region and prefer not to drive, a JR PASS is a great option for independent travel. You can choose to stay in one city for several nights, or use your JR PASS to take the Shinkansen for day trips to various cities in the Hokuriku area, which is very cost-effective. I visited Kanazawa, Shin-Takaoka, Takaoka, Amaharashi, Himi, Toyama, Unazuki Onsen, and Komatsu over four days, and it was very convenient.

Price: Very worth it. The value is 30,000 yen, but I actually used 69,000 yen. Having a pass makes me not worry. Plus, I got a discounted price from Klook.

Value for money as we went to many places. You can also use it on local JR Buses and trains. Will surely get again.

The exchange order was delivered on time within 4 days to me. Delivery from Taiwan to Malaysia by DHL. Such a fast service. I used the exchange order to exchange for the ticket at JR office at Kansai Airport. Very convenient and super worth it as it helped me to save.

So happy we chose to use this bus service instead of the trains, we could very easily bring our large luggage without hassle. the drive was very scenic and smooth. The bus stops along the way for bathroom breaks. the bus is spacious and clean and the seats recline quite far back. We were lucky as our bus was almost empty but during busier times I suspect the bus would have more people. Overall very convenient way of getting from Kyoto to Kanazawa!
