Immerse yourself in a half-day private tour, crafted by a local insider, where iconic sights, geisha allure, and samurai history await.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
A rival to Kyoto as the historic jewel of Japan, Kanazawa is a melting pot of Japanese art, culture, and tradition. With your local host to help you squeeze in as many sights as possible, you’ll experience the perfectly preserved history of this gorgeous city. Entertainment district Higashi Chaya is a must-visit for anyone hoping to spot elusive, ethereal geisha, while a tranquil stroll through Kenroku-en, one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, should be on every bucket list. You could browse stalls at the 280-year-old “Kitchen of Kanazawa”, Omicho Market, and see the unique Oyama Shrine with its Dutch-style stained glass on the third floor, or maybe you’ll be content to spend hours at the impressive Kanazawa Castle, the historic seat of power of the Maeda samurai clan.

Zelda was a great guide and showed us things we would not have found on or own. She also shared her favourite coffee shop and bakery. She took us to a traditional sushi restaurant for lunch.

Show moreHighly recommend the private tour. It doesn’t cost much more than a normal tour for a family of four and you can spend more time talking with your guide. Megumi was fantastic. She was personable and very knowledgeable about the attractions in Kanazawa. Would highly recommend.
