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.

Kanazawa is one of few cities spared by bombing in WWII and the buildings are originals going back into the Edo Period; this is one of the neighborhoods that shows that history. It is must see when in the city.
8. Shiroyone Semmaida

The main floor is almost always filled with shoppers looking to buy fresh seafood or try out the restaurants. The shops also offer fresh produce, dried goods, and even clothes. The second floor has many more restaurants and they're often busy, so try to come as soon as they open or wait until the lunch rush is over to get a decent seat. For families--the third floor has a free indoor play area for children, which is open to everyone, even out-of-town travelers. Take the elevator in front of おしゃれなbookcafe to the third floor and enter the doors to your right. Here you'll find the play area. They have a family-friendly bathroom where you can change kids' diapers if needed. Across the road is M'za, which is a big department store with lots of stores and goods. The top floor is a food market with stalls. Not sure if it's closed due to COVID.
