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
Go Bar Hopping in Osaka [With Full Dinner]
Spend an evening exploring the bars in Osaka's popular nightlife district of Namba. Sample tasty Japanese pub-style food, and wash it down with your choice of drinks, from sake to umeshu and beer — all in the company of a knowledgeable 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.
