I will be in Japan from the 15th of August arriving tokyo I have a night booked in Kanazawa on the Tuesday17th and was considering where I could go on a japan rail pass (tokyo to Kanazawa) I have been to Takayama and Kyoto on previous trips and was looking for an alternative, one thought is to travel to Kanazawa via Niigata, spending one night i Niigata or somewhere else along the way. I am open to any other suggestions I have to be back in Tokyo on the Wednesday night/ early Thursday morning This is my 9th trip to japan so have agood idea of how to get around

Kanazawa is a great smaller city: Kenrukoen is superb, and needs to be seen in both early morning and late afternoon light..it has a completely different feel depending on the time of day. We spent a few hours each time we went. The Seisonkaku villa in Kenrukoen is also beautiful; Samurai and Geisha areas delightful; amazing gold leaf and lacquerware; Kutani Kiln; 21st C Museum of Contemporary Art; fabulous food; great shopping precinct...the list is endless; we spent 2 nights, equating to a day and a half last year, and are planning on 3 nights this year as we didn't have enough time for it all
