Japan has countless interesting cities. The island is yours to explore! The old capital, Kyoto, is known for its prosperity during the Heian period when it was the home to emperors and nobles. Conversely, Kanazawa was home to Samurai during the Edo period. Our fabulous city has much to offer, but is not as well known as other famous cities. Eye on Kanazawa is a free paper in English to help tourists make sure they have a great time in our city. Pick up your copy when you are in Japan!
