Port of Kanazawa

Kanazawa Port is located on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan, providing easy access to South Korea, Russia and China. This makes it a great destination for cruises all along the Sea of Japan. Kanazawa Port has three wharfs, being able to accommodate up to 160,000-ton cruise ships. The Shinkansen (bullet train) rolled into town in 2015, connecting Kanazawa directly to Tokyo. The easy 2.5-hour train ride has broadened travel possibilities with Kanazawa, not only as a port of call, but also as a turnaround port for rail & cruise, or fly & cruise, via nearby Komatsu airport and the new Kanazawa Port Cruise Terminal which opened on June 1st, 2020.

Another strong point of Kanazawa Port is that it is a mere 5 km (3.1 miles) away from the heart of the city, only 20 minutes by bus. Our most-loved points of interest include locations as diverse as the Higashi Chaya Teahouse District, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, the Nagamachi Samurai District, and the Omicho Market. Alluring as those destinations are, the true showpiece of Kanazawa has to be Kenrokuen Garden, which delights 3 million visitors annually. In its review of 27 locations in Kanazawa, the Michelin Guide Book awarded Kenrokuen Garden a three-star rating for its elegance and visual harmony.

Kanazawa and its surrounding area are well-known for a number of fascinating tourist attractions as well as prestigious crafts, performing arts, outstanding food culture, healing hot springs and impeccable hospitality. You are sure to find the real Japan here.
