The climate is relatively warm, but there are more cloudy, rainy, and snowy days in winter.

Travel time from Tokyo was reduced with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension line in 2015. The number of tourists, including tourists from overseas, increased considerably.

Kanazawa is located in the center of Ishikawa Prefecture and is the seat of the prefectural government. It was designated as a Core City of Japan in 1996.
