Fondly known as "Little Kyoto", the charming city of Kanazawa is known for its well-preserved Edo-era districts, its colorful silk and pottery, and its superb art museums. The Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art is one of the best places to see beautiful regional handicrafts, while the historic Eastern Chaya district, also known as the teahouse district, was one of the most popular places for wealthy lords to watch geisha performances during the Edo Period. However, the best-known attraction in the city is the spectacular Kenroku-en, a 25-acre landscape garden dotted with fountains, bridges, and blooming flowers. Kanazawa
