About this activity

1. More Than Just Samurai, Gardens & Geisha

2. Explore With a Local, Not Just Follow a Guide

We want this to feel more like exploring Kanazawa with a knowledgeable local friend. Ask questions, have conversations, wander down interesting streets and experience the city.

3. Your Tour, Your Pace

Some guests are fascinated by samurai history. Some love food. Others want beautiful photos or simply want to slow down and enjoy Garden.
