Check-out of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel and from Shinagawa Station board a JR Yamanote Line train to Tokyo Station. (12 mins) Make your way to the bullet train lines and from Tokyo Station board a Kagayaki bullet train to Kanazawa Station. (150 mins)
Your accommodation at the Hotel MyStays Premier Kanazawa is a five minute walk from the West Exit of the station.
After check in, spend the afternoon exploring the city of Kanazawa.
Your sightseeing should include a trip to the Omicho Market which is a 15 minute walk from the station, or board the Kanazawa Loop Bus (left loop) from bus stop #7 at the Kanazawa Station East Exit bus terminal to Musashigatsuji-Omicho Market. (4 mins)
Omicho is the liveliest of all markets in Kanazawa and is popular with the residents of the city. Many of the 170 shops specialise in fresh fish and vegetables. Lovers of seafood will delight in some of the surrounding sushi bars and restaurants that serve fresh seafood from off the coast of Kanazawa. For those who prefer their seafood cooked, tempura and grilled options are available.
For a rare look inside Japan's traditional entertainment culture, make a visit to Kanazawa's famous "Higashi Geisha District" where you can walk down the winding lanes which features rows of old geisha houses. Late in the afternoon and early evening you may see a geisha scampering between appointments in full traditional costume. Shima, a former geisha house, is open for public viewing (9:00 - 18:00/JPY500) where you can also enjoy a cup of green tea and a traditional Japanese sweet.
