What to expect

Kanazawa has a cultural richness that stands out on its own. Visitors often find Kanazawa’s unique culture enchanting, offering something different from both Tokyo and Kyoto.During the Edo period, Kanazawa was known as "Kaga Hyakumangoku" and was one of Japan’s largest cities at the time. The Maeda family, who ruled the domain, were cautious of the Edo Shogunate and chose to invest their wealth not in military power but in the development of culture. This decision allowed Kanazawa to flourish as a cultural hub, preserving its artistic and historical heritage.As you explore Kanazawa with a guide, you’ll discover the aesthetic sense of the samurai, preserved in its original form, throughout the city. Kanazawa was fortunate to escape air raids during the war, leaving its historical sites intact, offering a rare glimpse into the past. This tour includes essential spots such as Omicho Market, known as Kanazawa’s kitchen and beloved by locals, Kenrokuen Garden which took over a hundred years to complete and shows totally different beauty on each season and the Higashi Chaya District, which retains its historical charm from 200 years ago.Additionally, you'll get to see hidden gems that only locals know about, such as beautiful hidden streets and a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal while viewing Japan’s oldest fountain. By spending half a day exploring the city with a local guide, you’ll gain a deep understanding of Kanazawa’s geography and history.
