What To Expect

Higashi Chaya District

A chaya (lit. teahouse) is an exclusive type of restaurant where guests are entertained by geisha who perform song and dance. During the Edo Period, chaya were found in designated entertainment districts, usually just outside the city limits. Kanazawa has three, well preserved chaya districts, Higashi Chayagai (Eastern Chaya District), Nishi Chayagai (Western Chaya District) and Kazuemachi.

Kenrokuen Garden

Kenrokuen (兼六園) in Kanazawa is justifiably classified as one of Japan's "three most beautiful landscape gardens" alongside Mito's Kairakuen and Okayama's Korakuen. The spacious grounds used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle and were constructed by the ruling Maeda family over a period of nearly two centuries. Opened to the public in 1871, Kenrokuen features a variety of flowering trees which provide the garden with a different look for each season.

Our driver Waka went above and beyond. Not only did he bring us to each destination quickly and comfortably, he also personally guided us around certain sites such as Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden, providing extra information and context to our visit to Kanazawa.

Got the highlights of the city on our own pace. Some more free time in the Geisha district to roam the shops would be fun but ultimately we had an extra half day in Kanazawa to do that. Our guide Hiro was very knowledgable.
Great experience
