Discover Kanazawa's cultural treasures in a half-day private tour that takes you from the traditional Higashi Chaya District to the stunning Kenrokuen Garden, with a final stop at the bustling Omicho Market, offering a unique blend of history and local flavor.
Your journey begins under the Tsuzumi Mon, a drum-shaped gate symbolizing Kanazawa's rich cultural heritage.
Dive into the history of the Higashi Chaya District, one of the best-preserved historical areas in Kanazawa. Stroll through the narrow lanes, admire the well-preserved teahouses, and shop for unique crafts that reflect the local heritage and craftsmanship
Regarded as one of Japan's three most beautiful gardens, Kenrokuen offers an extraordinary example of Japanese garden design, featuring the six attributes of a perfect landscape: spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, water courses, and panoramas.
The castle, with its unique architecture and defensive features, tells tales of feudal Japan. Gyokuseninmaru Garden, a part of the castle grounds, is an excellent example of a Japanese landscape garden, offering serene views and a historical context.
Omicho Market has been the culinary heart of Kanazawa for centuries, offering fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables, and local delicacies. It's the perfect place to experience the local food culture firsthand. Try kaisendon, a bowl of rice topped with fresh local sashimi, for a taste of the sea.
