Kanazawa: Ninja Temple Ticket Included & Geisha District Tour

About this activity

Discover Kanazawa’s hidden side on a cultural walking tour featuring Myoryuji, the “Ninja Temple,” and a traditional geisha district. With a local guide, learn about samurai culture, local history, hidden stairs, secret passages, trap doors, and the temple’s ingenious defenses.
