Things to do in  Ishikawa Prefecture

It's no wonder why Kanazawa's Kenroku-en Garden is among the city's most popular attractions. Built during the Edo Period, and revamped continuously over the centuries, this gloriously landscaped spot is considered among Japan’s most beautiful. It’s also a great place to see different types of traditional landscaping from across periods.

The Meiji-Mura is an open-air museum in the Aichi Prefecture. This theme park-like attraction opened in 1965, allowing visitors to discover what life was like during the Meiji period, which spanned 1868 to 1912. Highlights of the museum include over 60 reconstructed Meiji period buildings—such as a sake brewery, a prison, a theater, and a hospital.
