Embark on the ultimate full-day tour, exploring top attractions and secret treasures, including encounters with geisha and samurai.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Kyoto who? With its perfectly preserved samurai and geisha districts (you could see them both), Kanazawa is just as much a cultural jewel as its more famous cousin, with attractions your local host is eager to share with you. You might want to see the city’s shrines and temples, like Oyama Shrine (its gate marries elements of Japanese and Chinese architecture) and Tentokuin temple, built in the 17th century by the Maeda samurai clan. Speaking of the Maeda clan, Kanazawa Castle, the clan’s historic seat of power, is a must-visit, but so are the city’s modern attractions, like Omicho Market and its famous croquettes – it’s not called the “Kitchen of Kanazawa” for nothing! – or the trendy cafes and stores lining the crowded Katamachi shopping district, a small slice of the big city.

Our guide Sho was very knowledgeable and thorough for our day. We saw many beautiful areas in Kanazawa even though it was rainy, windy and very cold. Our guide lifted our spirits and we had a great time.

Show moreEven though Kanazawa was very cold, windy and wet, Katie made the day delightful with her sunny disposition. She was very sweet, energetic, fun and highly knowledgeable about Kanazawa. We had very little time in Kanazawa and felt so lucky to have her. She met us early in the morning and gave us such a rich tour, we were impressed. Our time in Kanazawa and with Katie is something we won’t forget anytime soon! Thank you!
