Journey through Kanazawa's hidden gems with a local, gaining insider insights on an unforgettable tour.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Some of Kanazawa’s most precious districts are overshadowed by more famous areas – but seeing the city through a local’s eyes creates a new perspective. Explore a quiet residential area where pastel-colored Rakugan confections – a Kanazawa specialty – are produced, and learn more about mysterious geisha at the geisha museum and training ground. Visit Utatsuyama Park – an expansive forest in the middle of the city with over 100 types of wildflowers – then forego crowded Higashi Chaya in favor of storybook Kazuemachi, a small riverside district lined with wood-built, feudal-era buildings where ethereal geisha play music and locals move between trendy taprooms and galleries (why not let your host recommend a hidden haunt for a quick coffee?).

Show moreI didn’t know where to start with Kanazawa with such a short time frame. We were put in touch with Katie, where we did a survey to see what activities would be suitable for our preferences and then chose from there. With some scheduling issues (on our end with transport) she was very accommodating and changed meeting times and also met us at our hotel. She is kind, full of knowledge of the Kanazawa history, area and best food spots! Once our tour with Katie was over she was very helpful with giving us information on the buses and transport around town. I would recommend this tour and hopefully you are us lucky us to get Katie for a guide.
