About the tour
The day begins with a departure from Kanazawa, marking the start of an experience full of history, culture and breathtaking landscapes.
Shirakawago
The first stop is the charming village of Shirakawago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is famous for its traditional gassho-zukuri houses, with steep thatched roofs shaped like praying hands, designed to withstand heavy snowfall. Upon arrival, you can enjoy lunch on your own and stroll through the peaceful streets, admiring the centuries-old architecture, local artisan workshops and a serene atmosphere that seems frozen in time.
Kenrokuen Garden
The journey continues to spectacular Kenrokuen Garden, considered one of Japan's most beautiful gardens and a true oasis of art and nature. At this point, the tour ends for those who have selected the "Shirakawago only" option. Please note that, for this option, admission to Kenrokuen Garden is not included.
Full experience: inside Kenrokuen
For those continuing with the full experience, the visit proceeds inside Kenrokuen, where you can stroll among crystal-clear ponds, elegant bridges, stone lanterns and carefully designed pathways, in an environment that changes with the seasons and offers a unique experience at any time of year.
Full experience: Higashi Chaya district
After visiting the garden, you will head to the historic district of Higashi Chaya, where you can stroll along cobblestone streets lined with traditional teahouses that retain the charm of the Edo period. You can also explore art galleries and local craft workshops, immersing yourself in the area's rich cultural heritage. The district is also renowned for its geishas, who keep the traditional arts alive in some of the historic teahouses.
The day concludes with a return to Kanazawa Station, wrapping up a journey full of discoveries that combines stunning scenery, living history and the cultural essence of the Hokuriku region. A complete and unforgettable experience of traditional Japan and its harmonious connection with nature.
