Hotels in Ishikawa, Japan
Ishikawa sits on Japan's Sea of Japan coast, famous for Kenrokuen Garden-one of the country's top three landscape gardens-and its gold leaf crafts. Winters bring heavy snow and temperatures around 32°F (0°C), perfect for soaking in Kaga Onsen hot springs or cracking into juicy snow crabs at Kanazawa's Omicho Market. Summers hit 86°F (30°C), so you can escape the heat by walking through Kanazawa's samurai district Nagamachi or trying gold leaf ice cream in the Higashi Chaya geisha area.
