Talk:Kanazawa castle

Subjective tourist information

"While not much remains of the castle, Kanazawa is still worthy of a visit. The castle town has many interesting structures. The Pond Garden (now Kenroku Park) and the Maeda mansion still stand, and the Myoryu-ji is a prime destination as well."

This section seems subjective and uncalled for in an article on the castle. Then again, I haven't been here (S-A Wiki) in a long time, so I don't know what sort of attitudes or guidelines you follow regarding this sort of stuff.

I would, in any case, disagree with the basic notion that not much remains of the castle. A lot more remains (or has been rebuilt) than in most cities. Been to Fukuoka-jô lately? Nothing there but the stone foundations of some parts of the castle. The city also has, in addition to the Kenrokuen, Maeda mansion, and Myoryû-ji temple, two active geisha districts with beautiful old late Edo period machiya style buildings, a samurai (buke) yashiki district, and a very modern art museum. If we're going to mention some sights as part of an argument that the city is worth a visit, let's mention all of them. Or perhaps the whole thing should be moved to the article on the city of Kanazawa and not addressed on the castle page. No? LordAmeth 10:05, 18 February 2009 (PST)
