Konnichiwa from Edoory Kids Japan!
Every great story begins with a place. In this post, we’ll take you on a journey through some of Japan’s most inspiring regions—places where your family’s next adventure might begin.
Kanazawa is a city that grew around the historic castle of the Maeda clan, rulers of the Kaga Domain. Remarkably, it has been spared major disasters and war damage for over 430 years, so many of its traditional buildings and streets remain beautifully intact. It’s like stepping into a living museum—but with all the comforts of modern life. Why not imagine yourself living in this peaceful, picture-perfect corner of Japan?
A Safe and Natural Environment Where Children Can Thrive
Though it’s a city, Kanazawa is surrounded by lush nature. You'll find parks where you can feel the seasons and riverside paths perfect for peaceful walks. It’s an ideal place for kids to grow up in a safe and supportive environment. The city is also known for its friendly residents and strong sense of community, which makes it particularly welcoming for families raising young children.
Variety and Abundance of Early Childhood Facilities in Kanazawa
Kanazawa has a wide range of childcare options, including both public and private institutions. Additionally, Kanazawa offers many "nintei kodomo-en" (certified combined daycare and kindergarten facilities). Some schools embrace alternative education philosophies like Montessori, and there are also international preschools—making it easier for families from overseas to find the right fit for their children.
If you’re looking to introduce your child to Japanese culture and education while enjoying a safe, enriching travel experience, Kanazawa could be just the place. Whether you're exploring ancient streets or enjoying a family walk through the gardens, you’ll feel at ease knowing your child is also having a meaningful experience. At Edventure Japan, we warmly recommend Kanazawa as a destination where both you and your child can create unforgettable memories.
