Activity itinerary

Kazuemachi Tea House Street (Pass by)

This is the first 'geisha' district that you will see and its small streets make you feel transported back to a different time. There are many places to take great pictures so find your best shot!

Higashiyama

2h

After passing through the other geisha district, Kazuemachi, you will get a chance to see the amazing traditional district of Higashichaya. Originally only tea houses meant for the business of geisha entertainment, you will get to enter one of these buildings and see the quiet glamour. This is also the place where you will have lunch.

Kenrokuen Garden

1h 30m
Admission ticket included

This is considered one of the best gardens in Japan and you will follow your guide around as you explore the grounds. You will also be taken inside of Seisonkaku, a villa used by the daimyo's mother, and learn more about the history of the lord and the region.

Kanazawa Castle (Pass by)

The castle is a grand example of the power of the daimyo. It is also considered a museum of stone walls due to the diversity of different ages that still remain. Your guide will paint the picture of the castle and its place in history.

Oyama Shrine

20m

This is where the first daimyo is revered and is one of the most important shrines in the city. Don't miss the small garden that makes it quite unusual for a shrine.

Omicho Market (Pass by)

This is a market famous for its fish that has existed since the late 1600s. You will pass through it on your way back to the station. Feel free to leave the tour here if you want to have dinner or if it is close to your hotel.
