Overview

This full-day walking tour in Kanazawa lasts about 7 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. A certified professional guide leads the tour and adjusts the itinerary based on your preferences. The tour visits four main sites, spending about one hour at each. First, you explore Kenrokuen Garden, known since the Edo era as one of Japan's most admired feudal gardens. Next is Kanazawa Castle, where you can view the white lead roof tiles, touch the Ishikawa Mon gate, and walk through Lord Maeda’s gardens. Afterward, the guide takes you through the Higashi Chaya District, a geisha quarter with less commercialized streets that reflect the city’s historical culture. Finally, you visit the Nagamachi Bukeyashiki ruins, a well-preserved samurai district with streets bordered by mud and straw walls from the samurai period. Food, drinks, transportation between sites, and optional entrance fees are not included.
