[Kanazawa Tourism] Enjoy the traditional charm of wearing a kimono! | Kimono Rental Wargo Kanazawa Korinbo
Kanazawa is a popular traditional Japanese tourist spot. Wargo, a kimono rental company in Kanazawa, will tell you about the Japanese charm of Kanazawa and the charm of kimonos.
History of Kanazawa
There are various theories, but it is believed that Kanazawa was formed when Kanazawa Mido, the center of the Kaga Rebellion during the Sengoku period, was built and the town flourished around it.
The Maeda family later came to rule the area, and the town began to develop in earnest, leading to the birth of present-day Kanazawa.
Kanazawa has escaped many war and natural disasters, so many historical and cultural heritage sites remain to this day.
The attractions of Kanazawa tourism
Kanazawa is a very popular tourist spot both in Japan and overseas, where traditional Japanese culture still remains strong.
It is characterized by beautiful streetscapes and scenery that have been cultivated along with its history dating back to the Edo period, and is dotted with historical sites such as Kenrokuen Garden and Kanazawa Castle.
You can feel the Japanese tradition throughout the city.
Additionally, facing the Sea of Japan, the prefecture is blessed with geographical conditions that allow it to harvest an abundance of seafood.
As a result, Kanazawa is also popular as a gourmet town, where you can enjoy fresh, reasonably priced seafood dishes.
Kanazawa's tourist attractions are relatively close to each other, so you can see the main sights in one day and also enjoy the local cuisine.
You can enjoy it even on a short trip of one or two days.
How to enjoy Kanazawa in each season
Kanazawa is an attractive city where you can enjoy beautiful scenery in every season. In spring, you can enjoy the more than 700 cherry blossom trees at the tourist attraction, Kenrokuen. The cherry blossom scenery that spreads across the garden of Kenrokuen, which has been selected as one of the three most famous gardens in Japan, is a spectacular sight.
In the summer, traditional Japanese events such as the Hyakumangoku Festival and fireworks displays are held, so we recommend planning your trip to coincide with these events.
In autumn, the mountains turn red with autumn leaves, and there are many spots where you can enjoy viewing the autumn leaves.
Autumn is also the season to enjoy Kanazawa's gourmet food, such as saury and seasonal vegetables.
In winter, one of the attractions of visiting Kanazawa is seeing the "Yukitsuri" (hanging snow hangings).
The sight of the gardens and trees covered in snow creates a fantastical and beautiful scene.
In this way, Kanazawa allows you to enjoy the different natural beauty of each season,
so it is a wonderful city where you can discover new charms no matter what season you visit.
The charm of Kanazawa, strolling around in kimono
As mentioned above, Kanazawa has many attractions, but to truly experience the good old Japanese culture and townscape,
We recommend that you wear traditional Japanese clothing.
Walking around Higashi Chaya District or Kazuemachi Chaya District in a kimono will make you feel as if you have traveled back in time to the Edo period.
Wearing a kimono changes the view you see, making the historic townscape even more beautiful.
It's also a great place to take memorable photos.
We especially recommend strolling around areas that retain the atmosphere of the Edo period, such as Higashi Chaya District and Kazuemachi Chaya District, dressed in a kimono.
You will have the special feeling of being immersed in history.
If you want to wear a kimono in Kanazawa, renting one is recommended
Even if you want to enjoy sightseeing in a kimono, you may have the impression that it takes a lot of time to prepare beforehand and is expensive.
However, kimono rental services aimed at tourists are widespread in Kanazawa, and there are many shops that offer easy and reasonable use.
Price ranges and services vary depending on the shop, but basically kimono rental and dressing are included in the package,
so there is no need to dress yourself and you can easily use the service while sightseeing.
Some shops also offer a baggage storage service, so another big attraction is that you can use the service with peace of mind while sightseeing.
Walking around the historic streets of Kanazawa in a kimono will be a wonderful trip that allows you to experience Japanese culture on a deeper level.
