Overview

Uncover two sides of Kanazawa's history in this immersive walking tour through the city’s most atmospheric districts. Explore the stone paths of Nagamachi, once home to Kanazawa's samurai. Visit a preserved residence to learn about their lifestyle. Then cross the Asanogawa River to discover the traditions of geiko culture in Kazue-machi and Higashi Chaya’s historic teahouse districts. This tour blends architecture, history, and living tradition in a way that only Kanazawa can offer.

This experience is led by a highly-rated local guide who helps connect the stories of both samurai and geiko in a culturally respectful and engaging way. You’ll explore areas often missed by tourists, get insights into Kanazawa’s unique position as a cultural hub outside Kyoto, and enjoy an intimate, small-group experience perfect for curious travelers who want more than a photo stop.
