The Higashi Chaya District was our highlight of the tour, with charming streets lined with traditional wooden buildings. It was interesting to learn about the geisha culture and we even got to peek into a tea house, which was a real treat. It was an ideal way to experience the timeless treasures of Kanazawa.

Our guide Akari was amazing! She was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. She even took us to a special local venue for the best Kanazawa curry!
