Things to do in Nanto

Beautiful garden. Avoid midday in summer or bring a fan! The teahouses inside can be a little pricey but are a welcome break from the heat.

Kanazawa Higashi Chaya Street is a place full of traditional Japanese style! The antique wooden buildings and stone paths make you feel like you have traveled back to the Edo period. There are many teahouses and small shops here where you can experience matcha, Japanese sweets, and even encounter geisha performances. It is especially romantic when the lanterns are lit in the evening, and it is a great place to take photos! It is a must-visit for those who like a slow pace and love taking photos when they come to Kanazawa!

Ainokura Gassho Village is a world cultural heritage site along with Shirakawa and Suganuma Gassho Village. When we arrived at Ainokura, it was snowing and the village was gradually covered by the first snow. For a moment, we thought we had come to a fairy tale world isolated from the world. Compared with the bustling Shirakawa-go, this place seems deserted, but I prefer this original, clean, and independent elegance. Strolling in the village, you can admire the wooden houses of various shapes. The roofs are like clasped hands, and the thick thatch resists the snow, making the seemingly weaker houses still stand tall after hundreds of years of wind and frost. At the teahouse at the intersection, drink a cup of coffee, look at the holy world outside the window, enjoy this rare tranquility and romance, and don't be disturbed by any mundane things. You won't want to leave for a long time...

The entire Gassho Village was covered with snow; even though we didn’t give up, we were blocked by the snow; but we still headed towards the steeper and more difficult new road to the observation deck; although in the end we were unable to take pictures due to the fog; but The scenery along the road also kept us lingering; finally we had a snowball fight on the hillside to complete this task

Shirakawa-go in August is undeniably hot; a ten-minute walk under the sun will leave your back drenched in sweat. Sunscreen is a must; it's unbearably hot. The houses in the Gassho-zukuri style are cool inside, with thick thatched roofs like a quilt, but there are plenty of insects outside, so bring plenty of mosquito repellent. The village is small; the main street is packed with people at midday, making it difficult to take photos without squeezing in. It cools down in the evening; the path to the observation deck has less shade, but it's a ten-minute climb up, and you don't have to wait for the shuttle bus. The observation deck is truly invigorating.

Bought the Express Pass Premium Unlimited for 4 people on Sunday, 4 Oct, during China's Golden Week. The park was packed, but the pass let us skip the regular lines on all 16 covered attractions. We rode Flying Dinosaur, Mario Kart, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park with short waits. Highlights: Flying Dinosaur

This place is worth visit even for adults where we can feel ourselves as kids again.

Nice park, a lot of entertainment, but we happened to go on a Sunday and it was extremely crowded. An upside is that you can buy a pass, which is rather affordable, and it can help you experience more in one day. We bought passes for 2 attractions, and even with them were not able to attend everything, which was a pity, cause we spent most of the day queuing. I guess the situation is different on weekdays.
