The Kanazawa Historical Districts Tour offers a unique journey through time, immersing visitors in the rich cultural tapestry of one of Japan's most well-preserved Edo-period cities. Unlike other tours, this experience highlights three distinct historical areas: the Nagamachi Samurai District, the Higashi Chaya Geisha District, and the Kazuemachi Chaya District. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional samurai residences, explore exquisitely preserved tea houses where geishas once entertained, and admire the serene beauty of ancient wooden buildings along the Asano River. The tour also includes insights into the city's artisanal crafts, such as gold leaf production and Kutani pottery, making it a comprehensive and immersive exploration of Kanazawa's historical and cultural heritage.
This tour is great for anyone who likes historical sites and wants some simple clues and explanations to understand ancient Japan better.

4 adults booked this tour together, and it was just us. We were a little apprehensive about the length of time, needlessly so. Lucy is a fantastic guide. She was raised in Germany and France, has lived in Japan for 7 years and speaks fluent English. We toured the Omicho market, the three key neighborhoods of Kanazawa and the Castle. We asked Lucy a thousand questions about Japan culture, habits, rules, and history. She was amazingly informative and loved the back and forth with our questions. The time flew by and we are all delighted with how much we saw and learned today. I would rate this as the best of our tours in Japan.

Lucy was personable and knowledgeable. Alot of great little points to keep things interesting. We are sure without Lucy's help there were alot of things we would have missed about Kanazawa. Enjoyed the tour very much and the insightful conversation along the way. Would highly recommend.

Had a great walking tour with Lucy! She has lived in Japan for several years now and has great knowledge of the Kanazawa area, especially the geisha and samurai areas. Would recommend to anyone!

Lucy was simply amazing. As well as guiding around the highlights of Kanazawa, her knowledge of and respect for Japanese history, and her insights into modern-day Japanese culture, were so valuable. She also followed up after the tour with some great local restaurant recommendations. Lucy’s tour was one of the top highlights of our 3 week trip and we would urge anyone visiting Kanazawa to join her!
