Kanazawa tours

Things to do in Kanazawa

Welcome to the lovely city of Kanazawa. Boasting traditional architecture and one of Japan's most famous gardens, the centre of Ishikawa is a delightful place to explore. Learn all about the region's culture and history with a knowledgeable local guide on a private Kanazawa tour. Your guide will suggest heading to Kenroku-en (the Castle gardens) first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds. The traditional garden displays the six attributes required for classical "perfection": seclusion, spaciousness, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water and broad views (indeed, on clear days you can see all the way to the Sea of Japan). After the gardens, wander the streets of the former geisha and samurai districts, or perhaps take a short trip out of town to see the historic villages of Shirakawago, Ainokura or Takayama. Your guide will help you access the local culture, with tips on food and drink to try, and atmospheric local hang-outs. Enjoy your private Kanazawa tour!
