Kanazawa Tourist maps 金沢市地図

A map we used on a recent excursion to Kanazawa. We found the city extremely easy to see by foot. A welcome surprise, as we knew next to nothing about this place before the visit.

Also included are some sites in neighboring areas. Some of these we visited, others we’ll have to try another time.

Until I get around to writing a full review, here are some pics that I posted on Twitter:
