From Tokyo: Day Trip Kanazawa by Bullet Train with Guide

Kenrokuen Garden is a representative garden said to have the best scenic beauty in Japan. Please enjoy the Japanese four seasons and teahouse culture as you tour the garden.

There is a legendary spring that gave Kanazawa its name. Today, the well is popular as a power spot for monetary fortune, and it is said that if you circle around the well three times, your wish will come true.

At Ruins of Nagamachi Bukeyashiki, visitors can enjoy the fresh greenery of the garden trees that can be seen through the earthen walls as they walk through the streets that remind them of the samurai culture of the past. The view of the irrigation canal, which was used to transport lumber in the olden days, will calm your mind.

Like the Naga-machi Buke Yashiki Ruins, the Higashi Chaya-gai offers a walk through the streets that will take you back in time to the days when Kanazawa was a castle town. The old streets with their beautiful latticework and cobblestone pavement have been selected as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. You can visit stores that serve Japanese sweets and tea that made the taste buds of feudal lords and samurai of the time swoon, and of course, enjoy sweet treats as well.
