This is a one-day, 7-hour tour around Hokuriku's first castle town, "Kanazawa," with a local guide. Kanazawa is said to be the origin of the city that Kanazawa Mido used as a base of missionary work in Honjyo in the middle of the 16th century. Later in the 16th century, Maeda Toshiya established Kanazawa castle in this area, and since then it developed as the castle town of Kaga Hyakumaishi, prospering from the 17th century during the Edo era to the end of the 19th century. After Edo (Tokyo) and Osaka, alongside the big cities of the scale after Kyoto, it is said that there was this. The samurai city formed around the castle as a vibrant merchant city, and a temple town which was arranged to protect the castle. The atmosphere of the castle town still remains as a place where Japanese culture is beautifully on display.

  • Omicho Market, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
    Omicho market is popular as the kitchen of Kanazawa citizens where seasonal fish and fruits gather, and it can be said that the crabs caught in the Sea of Japan face quite the fate, for it is here where the crabs are lined up, and then also the locally sourced fruit and oden's you can eat while walking around. You can enjoy this scene at your leisure.

  • Kanazawa Castle, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
    A symbol of Kaga Hyakumanges, was built in 1583 by Toshiie Maeda in full scale and was placed as a residence of 14 Maeda family of Kaga clan until 1869. All buildings other than Ishikawa gate and 30 Nagaya (row houses) have disappeared due to repeated fires, but since 1996 the public has benefited from Kanazawa Castle Park. In 2001, historical buildings were faithfully restored as best possible based on old pictures and old documents. The landscape has once again been revived for the present age.
    45 minutes
  • Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
    Kenrokuen is one of the three famous Japanese national gardens, listed along with Mito Kairakuen and Okayama Korakuen. The garden boasts a beautiful appearance during every season, and the stunning winter snow hanging together with the famous Koji lanterns in Kanazawa. This is both a symbol and a must-see for Kanazawa sightseeing.
    60 minutes
  • D. T. Suzuki Museum, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
    Suzuki Daisetsu Museum is a spot infused with the thoughts of a world-famous Buddhist philosopher, Suzuki Daisetsu, born Kanazawa, who made Zen culture widely known abroad. Further, Mr. Yoshio Taniguchi is represented here. He is famous for designing large portions of the New York Museum of Modern Art, in particular the extension and renovation of MoMA in 2004, consisting of three buildings, the "entrance building", the "exhibition building", the "thought space building." Here, various representations have been constructed. In the exhibits, it appears as though you passes through a long and narrow corridor that leads to a different space. There is freedom to think and feel as you wish, to touch, watch, and see things as they appear to you, as there is no formal explanation. There is also a space for the various world views of Zen, including the biggest attraction, "the garden of water glasses." Here there is a mysterious charm that draws in the visitor for whatever purpose that might be.

Sachi was our tour guide today for a fabulous tour of Kanazawa. We visited the Omi-cho Market, the Oyama Jinja Shrine, Kanazawa Castle, Kenrok-en Gardens. Sachi provided historical, cultural and lots of information that we were interested in. We also visited the DT Suzuki museum, the Kanazawa Nakamura Memorial Museum and we learnt the traditions of drinking tea. We then learnt about the lufe of Samurai and visited a number of Samurai Houses. The tour was fabulous and Sachi took the time to learn our interests and included a number of additional stops so we could visit our areas of interest. This tour exceeded our expectations thanks to Sachi's enthusiasm and her experience and knowledge of Kanazawa. Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will be lucky to have Sachi as your guide.

My day in Kanazawa was really perfect. My tour guide Toshiko showed me so many places, the weather was great, the sakura was just in full bloom and we wittnessed some amazing cherry blossom storms together! Toshiko made many pictures of me during the tour, which I am thankful for, as I am traveling alone! She explained me a lot of details and background information! It was really fun!! Thank you so much :-)!

We had an excellent tour of Kanazawa. Our guide Kazue was friendly, knowledgeable and went out of her way to show us round the city and the Kenrokuen gardens. The goldleaf workshop was also great.
