Uncover two sides of Kanazawa's history in this immersive walking tour through the city’s most atmospheric districts. Explore the stone paths of Nagamachi, once home to Kanazawa's samurai. Visit a preserved residence to learn about their lifestyle. Then cross the Asanogawa River to discover the traditions of geiko culture in Kazue-machi and Higashi Chaya’s historic teahouse districts. This tour blends architecture, history, and living tradition in a way that only Kanazawa can offer.
This experience is led by a highly-rated local guide who helps connect the stories of both samurai and geiko in a culturally respectful and engaging way. You’ll explore areas often missed by tourists, get insights into Kanazawa’s unique position as a cultural hub outside Kyoto, and enjoy an intimate, small-group experience perfect for curious travelers who want more than a photo stop.

Excellent so glad I selected this one with Selda as my guide. Very informative and you know she is good when the people at the places we visited knew her and welcomed her coming with me. So much information and so kind and patient with me as we walked around. Will definitely ask for her again and do this tour again as there was so much to see.
