Overview
  • The Kanazawa Historical Districts Tour offers a unique journey through time, immersing visitors in the rich cultural tapestry of one of Japan's most well-preserved Edo-period cities. Unlike other tours, this experience highlights three distinct historical areas: the Nagamachi Samurai District, the Higashi Chaya Geisha District, and the Kazuemachi Chaya District. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional samurai residences, explore exquisitely preserved tea houses where geishas once entertained, and admire the serene beauty of ancient wooden buildings along the Asano River. The tour also includes insights into the city's artisanal crafts, such as gold leaf production and Kutani pottery, making it a comprehensive and immersive exploration of Kanazawa's historical and cultural heritage.
  • This tour is great for anyone who likes historical sites and wants some simple clues and explanations to understand ancient Japan better.
What to expect
