Book this tour alone or include it in a custom trip
This private tour can be booked as a standalone day or included within a custom Japan itinerary, with hotels, transport, guides, cultural experiences, and local support arranged around your dates.
Kanazawa (金沢) survived the Second World War without a single air raid – spared, according to one theory, because the Americans planned to use it as a post-war administrative centre. The result is a city where the fabric of Edo-period Japan survives largely intact: two geisha districts still operating, a samurai quarter with original earthen walls, workshops producing lacquerware and gold leaf and Kaga Yuzen silk by methods unchanged for centuries.
On this private full-day tour your guide moves you through the city at the pace it deserves – Kenrokuen in the morning before the crowds thicken, the Higashi Chaya district’s narrow lanes, the Nomura Samurai House, and at least one artisan studio visit arranged around your interests. Kanazawa has more living craft traditions than any other Japanese city outside Kyoto.
