Workation in Kanazawa: the essentials

Because Kanazawa escaped wartime bombing, the old city plan survives around Kenrokuen garden, the castle, the Higashi Chaya teahouse quarter and the samurai lanes of Nagamachi. About 460,000 people live in this Sea of Japan city, whose crafts range from lacquer to the gold leaf that turns up on everything from ice cream to chopsticks. Omicho market supplies the seafood, the 21st Century Museum the contemporary art, and local coworking spaces the desks. The Hokuriku Shinkansen reaches Tokyo in about two and a half hours, and Komatsu Airport is about 30 km away. It rains and snows a lot here, and the grey stretches from late autumn through winter.
