Private walking Tour of Kanazawa's Historical Districts 4h

We will start our tour by traveling back in time in the former "Samurai District". Here we will learn all about Samurai and the way they lived. Your guide will show you houses of high ranking and low ranking Samurais.

Next stop is Oyama Shrine, one of the most popular Shrines for Locals. The Shrine is dedicated to the Samurai who founded the city in 1583

Let's admire this beautiful garden who used to be the private garden of the Feudal Lords family.

Kanazawa Castle was home to the Maeda family who ruled over this region during the Edo period. It was built in 1580 but suffered many devastating fires. The castle was rebuilt using the traditional techniques of the time

The tea houses and historic buildings of the Kazue machi district, listed as Cultural Heritage of Japan since 2008, immerse you in a refined atmosphere filled with nostalgia.

Discover the most emblematic geisha district of Kanazawa. The district’s traditional wooden buildings and lattice-work windows retain the atmosphere of their 200-year history. Today, many of these buildings function as cafes, restaurants, sweet shops or craft shops, but some are still operating geiko teahouses. Higashi-Chaya has many shops selling gold-leaf products, in fact Kanazawa produces 99% of Japan's gold leaf production.
