Spectacular sights and secret gems

Kanazawa may be known for attractions like the Nagamachi samurai district and the converted geisha houses of Higashi Chaya, but there’s so much more to be explored. You’ll uncover all its secrets with private tour guides in Kanazawa leading the way. Whether you jostle through Tatemachi street’s trendy shopping promenade, sample the famous croquettes at Omicho Market (it’s not called the “Kitchen of Kanazawa” for nothing), or see magical snapshots of the Japan of centuries ago, our private tour guides in Kanazawa will be sure to strike the perfect balance between highlights and hidden gems.

Choose your type of tour

City Unscripted offers a range of diverse, exciting tours, and our private tour guides in Kanazawa won’t waste a second of your time on attractions you won’t absolutely love.
