KANAZAWA CONVENTION BUREAUThe capital of Ishikawa Prefecture, Kanazawa, once ﬂourished as thecastle town of the Kaga domain, was famously second in wealth only
to the shogun's own clan during the Edo period (1603-1868). About
400 years ago, lord Maeda Toshiie built a castle in Kanazawa, whichdeveloped as the castle town of the aﬄuent Kaga domain. It is said
that, during the Edo period, the city was one of the largest in Japanafter Edo (present-day Tokyo), Osaka, and Kyoto.
Successive lords from the Maeda family put special eﬀort into
promoting and developing traditional crafts and performing arts,
leveraging the ﬁnancial strength of the wealthy domain. The
traditional culture is still deeply rooted in local peopleʼs lives today.
This is one of the things that makes the city of Kanazawa so unique.
Another special feature of the historic city of Kanazawa is theendurance of a food culture that emphasizes Japanese traditions andthe enjoyment of the seasons, exempliﬁed by traditional “Kagacuisine” and Japanese sweet making, which continued to thrivealongside the tea ceremony.
Although there are no dedicated MICE facilities in Kanazawa today,
there are a large number of public facilities and hotels that can beused for MICE events. Kanazawa is also a compact tourist city whose
major attractions are scattered within a 2 km radius of the station.
Kanazawa has already hosted many international conferences, large
and small. The city is also easy to get to from Tokyo. Using the
Hokuriku Shinkansen, it takes about 2 and half hours. By air, it takes
about 1 hour from Haneda Airport to Komatsu Airport.
The Kanazawa Convention Bureau will develop proposals for MICE
events while making full use of the attractions of Kanazawa in a waythat reﬂects the wishes of our clientele as closely as possible.
Please consider Kanazawa for your event!
