Kanazawa Walking Tour – Experience Tradition, Food & Nature

Step into the heart of Kanazawa, where history, nature, and local life come together. Our Kanazawa Walking Tour is designed for travelers who want to explore beyond the guidebook — from tasting seafood at Omicho Market to walking through the peaceful paths of Kenrokuen Garden and discovering the samurai spirit at Kanazawa Castle.


Why Kanazawa Is Perfect for a Walking Tour

Unlike Tokyo or Kyoto, Kanazawa offers a calm yet deeply cultural atmosphere. The city’s compact layout makes it ideal for exploring on foot. As a local guide, I’ve seen countless visitors fall in love with Kanazawa’s charming blend of traditional crafts, friendly locals, and delicious street food.


Tour Highlights

Omicho Market – Taste the Heart of Kanazawa

Known as “Kanazawa’s Kitchen,” Omicho Market has been feeding the city for over 300 years. You’ll stroll through colorful stalls filled with sushi, grilled seafood, and seasonal fruits.
🦀 Try local favorites like snow crab, gold-leaf ice cream, and fresh sashimi bowls!

Kanazawa Castle – The Samurai Legacy

Kanazawa Castle tells the story of samurai culture and architecture. Its iconic white lead-tiled roofs were designed to resist fire, symbolizing both strength and beauty.
Here, we share hidden stories about the Maeda Clan, who ruled Kanazawa for over 300 years.

Kenrokuen Garden – Harmony of Nature and Design

One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Kenrokuen is breathtaking in every season — cherry blossoms in spring, lush greens in summer, autumn colors, and snowy landscapes in winter.
Our tour ends here with time for photos and stories about Edo-era garden design and Zen aesthetics.
