Gyokusenen Garden Gyokusenen is recommended for those who prefer more privacy, which could be difficult to find at a popular place such as Kenrokuen. The Gyokusenen Garden dates back to the Edo period and features several gardens on two levels up a steep slope. Teramachi District Located south of the city center, this old district was established as the first line of defense. It continues to retain its numerous old temples and narrow alleyways, making it a favorable place to stroll in. The Ninja-dera Temple, or Myoryu-ji Temple, is located within this area. The temple is like a labyrinth of stairways, corridors, secret chambers, concealed tunnels, and trick doors. However, reservation is a must in order to visit the temple.

A
touch of seascapes, a glimpse of traditional rural life, and a pinch of
cultural sights are what you will find in the Noto-hanto Peninsula. There
are shrines and temples to see, as well as the Noto-kongo Coast. The coast
extends for about 16km with a rocky shoreline that includes a variety
of rock formations, such as Gammon, which resembles a large gate. The
Peninsula is also well-known for the lacquerware produced in Wajima, a
rather small town. The JR Nanao line trains will bring you from Kanazawa
to Wakura Onsen. From there, take the private Noto Tetsudo line, which
services several places within the Peninsula. The bus is the more convenient
form of transportation as it travels directly to the more popular places
in the Peninsula, such as Wajima. 
Located
at the southeast corner of the Ishikawa prefecture, Hakusan National Park
comprises several peaks that reach over 2500m, with Mt Hakusan as the
highest at 2702m. The park is so big that it extends over to the Fukui,
Toyama, and Gifu prefectures. The areas surrounding the alpine section
of the park is sporadically covered with little villages that offer mineral
baths, accommodations, and camping grounds. Transportation within Hakusan
is rather infrequent. Visitors are advised to gather information on transportation
and accommodation at the tourist information office in Kanazawa before
heading on to Hakusan National Park.
