A museum dedicated to 17 notable individuals from Kanazawa (all men, ahem…) who have contributed to modern Japan.
While they are notable and there is an English pamphlet, none of the displays have English explanations, so the average tourist may be left wanting for context.
Admission is free with the Kanazawa City Cultural Facilities Admission Pass.
Suggested Activity
Highly Recommended Osaka Food Tour
Book this best-selling tour and see why Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen. Taste famous dishes like okonomiyaki, kushikatsu and more, with a friendly local guide.
Only really worth a stop if you need to get out of the frequent Kanazawa rain or if you’re collecting stamps on the museum stamp rally attached to the aforementioned pass.
