Kyoto is a well-known destination for history buffs, but Kanazawa is a hidden gem that you should not miss. Here, you will learn about Japanese history and eat some fresh seafood. Meet the guide at your hotel or Kanazawa station and head towards Nagamachi samurai district, the first destination of this tour, where the guide will tell you interesting stories about historical warriors. You will also visit an old samurai’s residence with an amazing garden. Then, you will head to the fish market for an amazing lunch.

After having lunch, you will visit a gold shop where you will have the opportunity to make your own gold-painted plate or chopsticks. You will even have an ice-cream wrapped in gold leaf.

Later, you will have a cup of matcha tea in one of the tea houses in old Geisha quarters.

A tour in Kanazawa would not be complete without a visit to the Kenrokuen, one of Japan’s most impressive landscaped gardens. Each season, it has something different to offer, and no matter when you come, you will always be impressed by its beauty. The tour will end at a restaurant selected by the guide based on your preference and the honest opinion of the locals.
