In this episode, David and Matt explore Kanazawa, the “Little Kyoto” of the Hokuriku region, and one of Japan’s best-kept secrets. Known for its stunning samurai history, pristine Edo-era streets, and contemporary art scene, Kanazawa offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern vibes. We give our first 24 hour impression of one of David’s favorite cities in Japan. Of course, we discuss record stores, spice curry, and the walking scene!
