Tatsumi Canal

This canal, counted as one of the three most famous and beautiful in Japan, was used for firefighting in Kanazawa Castle as well as to supply water for its residents and fill its moat, in addition to being used for agricultural purposes. 10-kilometers-long in total, the canal was built by Itaya Hyoshiro in 1632 on the order of Maeda Toshitsune, third lord of Kaga Domain. A lush nature trail follows a two-kilometer-long stretch of the canal between Daidowari and Nishiki-machi.
