Kanazawa Station
1-1 Kinoshinbomachi, Kanazawa, Japan
Begin your journey at Kanazawa’s striking station, featuring the iconic Tsuzumi Gate and Motenashi Dome.
30 Min
Higashi Chaya District
1 Chome Higashiyama, Kanazawa, Japan
Step back into the Edo period as you ride into one of Japan’s best-preserved geisha districts. Your guide will explain the origins of the chaya (teahouse) culture, the strict social hierarchy of Kanazawa’s merchant class, and how traditional arts like shamisen and tea ceremony thrived behind these latticed wooden facades. Learn why this district still echoes with the elegance of old Japan, and where geisha continue to perform today.
1 Stunde
Kenrokuen Garden
1-1 Marunouchi, Kanazawa, Japan
One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Kenrokuen offers more than just seasonal beauty—it’s a masterclass in feudal-era landscape design. Stroll through its meticulously planned paths as your guide explains the six traditional garden attributes it embodies (spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, water features, and panoramic views). Hear stories of how lords of the Kaga domain shaped this space not only for pleasure but to reflect their political power and aesthetics.

Kanazawa Castle Ishikawa Gate
1-1 Marunouchi, Kanazawa Castle, Kanazawa, Japan
Cycle around the imposing white walls of Kanazawa Castle, the seat of the powerful Maeda clan for over 280 years. Your guide will share insights into the architecture—from fire-resistant storehouses to maze-like defensive gates—and the strategic importance of the castle in maintaining Kanazawa’s semi-autonomous status during the Tokugawa shogunate.
30 Min
Gyokusen-immaru Garden
3 Marunouchi, Kanazawa, Japan
Tucked behind the castle grounds, this lesser-known gem was once the private garden of the feudal lord. Recently restored using historical records, it provides a quiet, meditative counterpoint to Kenrokuen. Your guide will walk you through the symbolism in its design and the role gardens played in diplomacy and inner-court life.
30 MinEintritt inbegriffen
Ruins of Nagamachi Bukeyashiki
3 Nagamachi, Kanazawa, Japan
Ride to the stone-paved lanes lined with earthen walls and discover the lives of Kanazawa’s elite warrior class. As you explore the former samurai streets and canals of Nagamachi, you’ll hear how the samurai adapted to peacetime roles under the Maeda rule, and how their values of loyalty, restraint, and honour still echo in the culture today.
