HUNI
Modern izakaya restaurant
👍👍 Exquisite experience. This place in itself is a greater highlight of Kanazawa than all the wonderful landmarks in town. I distinctly felt that eating at HUNI was alone worth the trip from Tokyo. Thank you chef for making our honeymoon so special.

👍👍 Very cool and unique museum. I get to experience throwing the shuriken (star-shaped blade). It costs ¥300 to throw 5 times. They also had another option to throw a stick-like weapon, which costs ¥500 to throw 8 times. The staff are really nice and foreigner friendly. I had an enjoyable experience...

👍 あまりにも有名な石灯篭なので、引き寄せられるように行ってしまいました。外様大名として江戸時代を巧みに生き延びた前田家は、織田信長の家臣としては、明治時代まで続いた唯一の大大名ではないでしょうか?命をつなぐ巧みさは、学ぶべきところが多いように思います。中央の権力争いに直接かかわることなく、自身の経済力...

👍👍 建築に関して初心者ですが、とても興味深い建築館でした。 赤坂御所の迎賓館のお部屋が現物大、同じ工務店さんが同じ様に製作したという大変貴重なものを間近に見られます。一つ一つのこだわりや美しさに魅力されます。 とても楽しめました。

👍👍 The illuminated Kenrokuen Garden was very beautiful, and the voices of joy were flying around. I wanted to take a picture of snow hanging at twilight time, but it closed at 17:00 and entered at 17:30. There was no wind, so the night view reflected in Kasumigaike was beautiful✌️

👍👍 To be in the house of the Lord makes me feel always safe and at peace. I always missed the mass but I didn’t forget to pray and give thanks. When I visit it I thought there is a mass but they have their annual spring choral concerts and it’s nice to see how active is this church. They have English...
