Although parts of the castle are more recent reconstructions, they have remained faithful to the original architecture used. The extensive grounds and awe-inspiring castle architecture will have you feeling like you\u2019re in an old Japanese samurai movie scene! Whether you\u2019re interested in Japanese history or not, this is one location you don\u2019t want to miss when traveling in Kanazawa City.<\/p>\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 is-resized\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSCF3720-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSCF3720-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.714453125;width:1829px;height:auto\" title=\"DSCF3720\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSCF3687-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSCF3687-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.714453125;width:1829px;height:auto\" title=\"DSCF3687\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSCF3756-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSCF3756-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.714453125\" title=\"DSCF3756\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\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 id=\"sec2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local Travel Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to check out Kenrokuen Garden, which borders Kanazawa Castle Park, as well when visiting.
