Join a 3.5-hour guided tour exploring Kanazawa’s refined culture through traditional crafts, Kaga Yuzen dyeing, and Noh theater. Begin at the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Traditional Arts and Crafts, where your guide will explain how the Maeda family and Kaga domain supported the development of Kanazawa’s distinctive arts. Next, visit the Kaga Yuzen Kimono Center to learn about this elegant dyeing tradition, its natural motifs, colors, and connection to samurai aesthetics. After viewing the exhibits, enjoy a stencil-dyeing experience and create your own handkerchief. Finally, walk to the Kanazawa Noh Museum to discover Kaga Hosho Noh, masks, costumes, and the role of Noh in samurai culture. The tour ends in front of the museum.
