Japan is one of the biggest doll’s possession country that the world has ever seen. In Japan, people have used various crafting methods in order to create dolls. We establish Doll’s Museum in Nishi Chaya district, Kanazawa city, Ishikawa prefecture so that you can enjoy traditional Japanese dolls which have been loved by Japanese people for long time.

Saw this museum at Tripadvisor and we decided to pay a visit. Location is easy to find and the ladies from the museum are kins enough to welcome us with home made green tea. It is awesome to see the ko collection of dolls that the owner keeps and truly interesting to see how different provinces producing their own unique dolls. Personally like the wooden dolls from all over Japan, too bad it is not for sell. Go earlier so that u can spend more times there seeing the doll one by one.

A wonderful example of contemporary Zen architecture. On a quiet day, the spaces are perfect for contemplation. Using light, lack of light, walls, windows and long corridors, the designers created an expansive space with a small footprint.
7. Ishikawa-ken Insectarium

A big museum about insects, with many kinds of beetles, and a large butterfly house to walk through. Much more to see than I expected! For 410 yen for adults, less for children, it is great value. It unfortunately lacks English explanations, aside from some insect names in English, so reduce by 1 star if you cannot read Japanese. There are exhibits showing the habitats that insects live in around the world, many pinned/preserved butterflies and other insects, exhibits about endangered insects in Ishikawa and Japan, and how they catch insects for study. They have many kinds of beetles in display cases, some very unusual, plus a wasp, and a beehive outside that you can see through a window. The main attraction is the large butterfly house, full of different species of butterflies that you can see up close. Great to walk through and get photos of the butterflies. You can go up to the roof for views around the area, and there is a gift shop on the way out.

Came into the phonograph museum using the day bus ticket and you will get 50yen discount, 250 yen entrance fee. It houses a wide collection of phonographs, music recorder in the older days before digital music. It is so impressive and historical, forgot that music recorder was invented by Thomas Edison, same inventor who gave us light bulb. There are a few sessions a day to showcase and explain the workings of some phonograph so try to catch that. In addition, on Sunday, they show case the oldest piano recorder in the world. On level 3, you can listen to some of the LPs in collection. I listened to Wham - Make it Big LP. Careless Whispers sounded like live. Highly recommended if you love music.

10. Kanazawa Station

Reviewed By DGandJudy - Ann Arbor, United States
The new Kanazawa station, built for the coming of the Shinkansen bullet trains in 2014, is great - has every amenity you could want, and is small enough to be easily negotiated. Be sure to stop by the Tourist Information Center, staffed by knowledgeable and friendly Good Will Guides volunteers, before setting out into the city. The east entrance (shown in the picture) is a striking combination of the old and new, with the traditional wooden torii gate juxtaposed in front of the ultramodern station building; the water clock (behind the photographer) is a fun place for photos.
