If you're searching for outdoor fun, we recommend visiting Mount Utatsu. No walk around the block, this hike is perfect for some mid-vacation exercise.

Mount Utatsu is a great place kick off your day in Kanazawa. This steep landmass comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Omicho Market, Kenrokuen Garden, and 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.
