Overview
Embark on a journey to Kanazawa, a city that retains its rich history and important tourist attractions, and experience the facets of the Edo period as they were in those days.
Please select from the options if you would like to purchase a ticket with Shinkansen from Tokyo.
On this tour, you will first visit Kenrokuen Garden, considered one of the most scenic spots in Japan, where you can see the seasonal faces of the Kaga feudal lords who ruled this area, and then experience the deep connection between Kanazawa and gold.
Afterwards, we will dine at Omimachi Market, known as Kanazawa's kitchen, and local eateries, and stroll through well-preserved Edo streetscapes, including samurai residences and the flower district.
The tour also includes an optional gold leaf-applying experience, which is the largest production in Japan.
Why not slip back in time to the Edo period, experiencing colorful flowers and scenery, as well as Japan's ancient history and culture?

Kenrokuen Garden
Kenrokuen Garden is a representative garden said to have the best scenic beauty in Japan. Please enjoy the Japanese four seasons and teahouse culture as you tour the garden.

Ruins of Nagamachi Bukeyashiki
At Ruins of Nagamachi Bukeyashiki, visitors can enjoy the fresh greenery of the garden trees that can be seen through the earthen walls as they walk through the streets that remind them of the samurai culture of the past. The view of the irrigation canal, which was used to transport lumber in the olden days, will calm your mind.
2 Hours 30 Minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included
Higashi Chaya District
Like the Naga-machi Buke Yashiki Ruins, the Higashi Chaya-gai offers a walk through the streets that will take you back in time to the days when Kanazawa was a castle town. The old streets with their beautiful latticework and cobblestone pavement have been selected as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
