Surprisingly, many places in Japan see show every year! Places like Nagano, Takayama, and Kanazawa get lots of snow and are great for a wonderful winter vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend Kanazawa for its history, easy access from Tokyo, and its proximity to Kyoto and Osaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Travel Tip:<\/strong> You\u2019ll be surprised how cold Kanazawa can get. Even as late as March, it can still be freezing at night. C<a href=\"about:blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>heck the weather<\/strong><\/a> and pack accordingly before you go, or budget for buying a winter coat and boots when you arrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-eat-in-kanazawa-in-winter\">What to Eat in Kanazawa in Winter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We highly recommend visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/top-5-places-to-eat-breakfast-at-omicho-market-in-kanazawa-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Omicho Market for breakfast<\/strong><\/a>. Some places are open as early as 7AM, so you\u2019ll have plenty of choices. During the winter, Kanazawa has many winter specialties, so don\u2019t forget to try the delicious winter food at our recommended specialty restaurants in Japan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Sushi&#8217; at Kanazawa Maimon Sushi Honten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/maimon_sushi_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5;width:1200px;height:auto\" title=\"maimon_sushi_1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9\ufe0e\u91d1\u6ca2\u307e\u3044\u3082\u3093\u5bff\u53f8\u672c\u5e97<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you heard of <em>kaitenzushi<\/em>?

You can choose the sushi that is revolving around the restaurant, or use the tablet to order specific sushi dishes. Whatever you order will come zooming in on a \u2018shinkansen\u2019 tray right to your table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With several restaurants throughout the city, you\u2019ll definitely want to stop by at least one when in Kanazawa. If you want to go to one with a bit of atmosphere, we recommend going to <strong>Kanazawa Maimon Sushi<\/strong> <strong>Honten<\/strong>, as it\u2019s located within Omicho Market. The restaurant menu is full of specialties, with fresh seafood purchased directly from the fishing port. Limited-edition sushi, such as Kanazawa\u2019s <em>kanou crab<\/em>, has a rich flavor, offering a taste of the city\u2019s winter season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also find a variety of different items on the menu in addition to sushi. N<em>odoguro<\/em> fish, known as the \u201cking of white fish\u201d in the Hokuriku region \u2013 it is great as sushi or grilled. Another popular item is the <em>chawanmushi<\/em> with <em>kaga-fu. Chawanmushi is a<\/em> is a warm, steamed egg custard with chewy wheat gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Travel Tip:<\/strong> We recommend getting there early as there is usually a line. You can reserve your place in line by reserving a table number &amp; walk around Omicho Market while you wait your turn. Just note that if your reservation number is called out and you\u2019re not there, you will be skipped over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/maimon_sushi_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4992503748125936;width:1000px;height:auto\" title=\"maimon_sushi_2\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9\ufe0e\u91d1\u6ca2\u307e\u3044\u3082\u3093\u5bff\u53f8\u672c\u5e97<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Kanazawa Oden&#8217; at Oden Izakaya Miyuki Main Branch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/miyuki_1-e1704006379525.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"miyuki_1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9\ufe0e\u304a\u3067\u3093\u5c45\u9152\u5c4b \u4e09\u5e78 \u672c\u5e97<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/miyuki_2-e1704006298693.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.8737201365187713;width:768px;height:auto\" title=\"miyuki_2\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9\ufe0e\u304a\u3067\u3093\u5c45\u9152\u5c4b \u4e09\u5e78 \u672c\u5e97<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 1962, this retro, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlit.go.jp\/tagengo-db\/en\/R1-02615.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Showa-era<\/strong><\/a> style restaurant provides a classic Japanese dining experience.

These are incredible marvels to see. Five hundred gardeners work from November to December securing ropes to towering poles and about 100 pine trees. The tallest tree, Karasaki Matsu, is 9 meters high and has a trunk over 2 meters around. It requires over 800 ropes to hold up all of its branches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entrance fee for Kenrokuen Garden is usually about 320 yen for an adult &amp; 100 yen for a child. However, the public can access Kenrokuen Garden for free during the year-end and New Year holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not visiting Kenrokuen Garden during the winter, they do have other days throughout the year when they offer free admission.

This area has a well-preserved history, as it was once home to many middle to high-ranking samurais, and now showcases many unique features from the Edo period <strong>(<\/strong><strong>1603-1867)<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, the houses were built and preserved using mostly traditional techniques and materials, such as earthen walls. During the winter, straw is hung on these earthen walls to prevent snow from penetrating and freezing\u2014a unique custom to Kanazawa that\u2019s known as <em>komokake<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the area\u2019s stunning historical architecture, local cafes, mom and pop restaurants, and local <em>sento<\/em> baths are located nearby. We highly recommend grabbing some treats! <a href=\"https:\/\/tabelog.com\/ishikawa\/A1701\/A170101\/17003148\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kinkato<\/strong><\/a> serves homemade Japanese-style sweets like the Cream Anmitsu with thickly sliced fruit and sweet red beans around a dollop of ice cream, with a molasses-like syrup called <em>kuromitsu<\/em> you can pour over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sakakobo-taro.com\/kashi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Chaka Kobo Taro<\/strong><\/a> is a confectionery shop where you can treat yourself to traditional Japanese sweets in new designs and a cup of matcha green tea.

After being closed for several years, MATSUNOYU Sento recently reopened with renovated facilities including hot and cold baths as well as saunas. The entry fee is cheap, just 490 yen (less than $5 USD), and rental towels are offered for 100 yen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/matsu_sento\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MATSUNOYU Sento<\/a>\u2018s baths are called <em>sento<\/em> because the water is heated tap water. When a bathhouse uses water from a natural hot spring, it\u2019s called <em>onsen<\/em>. The experience of <em>sento<\/em> is also about accessibility and community, a place where everyone can enjoy a hot bath even in the middle of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Travel Tip:<\/strong> Although attitudes are changing, there are still many places in Japan that consider tattoos taboo. Some bathhouses won\u2019t allow visitors with tattoos and may refuse service if you have any. Always check ahead of time about tattoo rules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of writing, MATSUNOYU Sent\u2019s Instagram account states that tattoos are \u201cOK\u201d!
