A rival to Kyoto as the historic jewel of Japan, Kanazawa is a melting pot of art, culture, and history, where tradition reigns supreme. You might explore the Nagamachi neighborhood, a historic samurai district, and Higashi Chaya, where old geisha houses have been converted into teahouses and restaurants. A tranquil stroll through Kenroku-en, one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, should be on every bucket list, while the 280-year-old “Kitchen of Kanazawa”, Omicho Market, is a must-visit for street food and a perfect snapshot of local life. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Akari is a fabulous guide! She was lively, knowledgeable, and interesting. She taught us about every aspect of Japanese life and was open to answering all of our many questions. We highly recommend her!!

Highly recommend the private tour. It doesn’t cost much more than a normal tour for a family of four and you can spend more time talking with your guide. Megumi was fantastic. She was personable and very knowledgeable about the attractions in Kanazawa. Would highly recommend.
