A local guide will guide you through the city of Kanazawa, which has a different face from the daytime. It's a deeper experience than going through the local roads, which you can't see much in ordinary sightseeing. This private tour will be suggested by your guide according to your interests, interests, and pace. Of course, there are also themes and recommended courses for each season. First of all, after joining the guide, we will have a brief hearing including the place where we will end, and then we will walk through Kanazawa's night, where you can feel the history. *Since it is a private activity, even if you are not good at walking, we can make suggestions according to your pace. *Transportation fees will be charged separately, but you can use a route bus or taxi on the way to travel efficiently.

After the Noto earthquake, many of my grandfather’s beautiful Kutani ware pieces—vases, tea cups, and plates—were broken. I couldn’t throw them away because they held so many memories. Instead, I decided to give them a new life by transforming the fragments into unique accessories. As a former instructor of gold leaf art in Kanazawa, I’ve spent years working with gold, and its delicate beauty inspired this workshop. I hope you’ll enjoy the same sense of creativity and tradition. During the experience, you’ll also savor Ishikawa’s famous Kaga-bōcha tea, served on a 100-year-old Wajima lacquer tray, along with Kutani ware teacups that survived the quake. It’s a moment of history, craftsmanship, and hospitality—all in one experience.

This isn’t “hit every famous spot” sightseeing. It’s a Kanazawa walk where your guide translates the city—and we find what’s lost in translation: why Kanazawa became so beautiful. The route is story-built: Kenrokuen’s composed nature, Kaga Yuzen up close (materials, craft, time), a matcha pause in a samurai residence garden, and the teahouse district’s “iki” and “hana.”You’ll go beyond stereotypes, tracing samurai spirit → handwork → elegance. Kanazawa flourished as the Kaga Domain (“Kaga million koku”), the largest outside the Tokugawa. Watched by the shogunate, Kaga invested not in military power but in culture—protecting artisans and raising crafts as pride. That’s why it’s dubbed “Little Kyoto,” yet it’s also a samurai city: grace with quiet tension. Ideal for travelers tired of spot-hopping, craft/design/garden lovers, and Japan repeat visitors. First time here? No worries—no knowledge needed, minimal jargon, flexible pace, and small groups for easy questions.
