Which photo spots does the guide recommend in Kenrokuen and the castle park?

In Kenrokuen, the teahouse street near the Katsurazaka entrance, the curving stream seen from Hanamibashi Bridge, and the area around the lookout point. In Kanazawa Castle Park, Ishikawa-mon Gate, the Otebori moat, Hakuchoro, and the inner moat by Hishi Yagura.

Should I choose the morning or the afternoon session?

Both follow the same route with the same timings, four hours apart, so pick whichever fits your day. The morning walk finishes around 13:00 and the afternoon walk around 17:00, and lunch is not included in either.

Can I finish the walk in Higashi Chaya District?

Yes. The group normally takes a local bus from Higashi Chaya District back to Kanazawa Station, about 10 minutes, but you can choose to end the tour in the teahouse district instead.

Where are the best cherry blossom views on the route?

Along the Asano River. The tour operator recommends the area around Asanogawa Ohashi Bridge, and you can see rows of cherry trees from Umenohashi Bridge and Nakanohashi Bridge.
