What are the best cities to visit in Japan besides Tokyo and Kyoto?

Pros

Pro
Some of the best-quality sushi in Japan

The local fish market has affordable, fresh sushi shops. There are also dozens of high-end sushi restaurants that people from all around Japan travel to Kanazawa to eat at.

Pro
Beautiful gardens and Edo-period architecture

Comparable, if not more beautiful than Kyoto's famous shrines, temples, and gardens. Since there are less people, the scenery if more peaceful.

Cons

Con
Less English-friendly

Since Kanazawa is a popular destination for Japanese people, and foreigners tend to go to Kyoto, many of the attractions in Kanazawa are less language-friendly to English-speakers. That being side, most signs are in English, and many of the main attractions still offer pamphlets and directions in English.
