Overview
Kanazawa has long been known as the city of traditional crafts to the Japanese people.

In this tour, our guide will show you the city via its art and famous crafts, while sharing fascinating stories and local insights that will help you not only see, but feel Kanazawa. It is perfect for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to explore the city more deeply and at their own pace.
