Lodestars City Guide — Kanazawa

City Guide no. 4. Kanazawa, capital of Ishikawa Prefecture, in 148 A5 pages. Food markets, bars, hotels and ryokans, temples and museums, Kenrokuen Garden and the Nomura Samurai Residence. There's a photo essay on a traditional tea ceremony, and six coffee shops run with real craft. Works for a first visit or a fifth.

The Lodestars City Guides are the small-format offshoot of Lodestars Anthology, the independent travel magazine. One city, the places worth your time, and nothing you'll need to skim past.
