• Kanazawa Station - Start your adventure at Kanazawa’s remarkable station, showcasing the iconic Tsuzumi Gate and Motenashi Dome.
• Higashi Chaya District - Travel back to the Edo period as you explore one of Japan’s most well-preserved geisha districts. The guide will discuss the origins of the chaya (teahouse) culture, the rigid social hierarchy of Kanazawa’s merchant class, and how traditional arts like shamisen and tea ceremonies flourished behind these latticed wooden facades. Discover why this district still resonates with the grace of old Japan, and where geisha continue to perform today.
• Kenrokuen Garden - As one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Kenrokuen offers more than just seasonal beauty—it’s a lesson in feudal-era landscape design. Wander through its carefully designed paths as the guide explains the six traditional garden attributes it represents (spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, water features, and panoramic views). Listen to stories of how the lords of the Kaga domain crafted this space not only for enjoyment but to reflect their political power and aesthetics.
• Kanazawa Castle Ishikawa Gate - Cycle around the impressive white walls of Kanazawa Castle, the seat of the influential Maeda clan for over 280 years. The guide will provide insights into the architecture—from fire-resistant storehouses to maze-like defensive gates—and the strategic significance of the castle in maintaining Kanazawa’s semi-autonomous status during the Tokugawa shogunate.
• Gyokusen-immaru Garden - Nestled behind the castle grounds, this hidden gem was once the private garden of the feudal lord. Recently restored using historical records, it offers a peaceful, contemplative contrast to Kenrokuen. The guide will walk you through the symbolism in its design and the role gardens played in diplomacy and inner-court life.
• Ruins of Nagamachi Bukeyashiki - Journey to the stone-paved lanes lined with earthen walls and uncover the lives of Kanazawa’s elite warrior class. As you explore the former samurai streets and canals of Nagamachi, you’ll learn how the samurai adapted to peacetime roles under the Maeda rule, and how their values of loyalty, restraint, and honor still resonate in the culture today.
