Whether you’re a runner or more likely to be cheering people on from the side-lines, the Kanazawa marathon is a great day out. The race begins at Hirosaka-dori by the Shiinoki Cultural Complex and will offer 13,000 competitors to see the city at a fast pace. You can admire the runners as you sightsee and soak up the atmosphere without having to do any of the hard work!
