Itinerary
We go to Tokyo station from your hotel in Tokyo by public transportation and take a bullet train to go to Kanazawa.
We will arrive at Kanazawa station after about 2 hours and a half ride of the bullet train and take buses to go around Kanazawa.
Kenrokuen Garden is a representative garden said to have the best scenic beauty in Japan. Please enjoy the Japanese four seasons and teahouse culture as you tour the garden.
Like the Naga-machi Buke Yashiki Ruins, the Higashi Chaya-gai offers a walk through the streets that will take you back in time to the days when Kanazawa was a castle town. The old streets with their beautiful latticework and cobblestone pavement have been selected as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. You can visit stores that serve Japanese sweets and tea that made the taste buds of feudal lords and samurai of the time swoon, and of course, enjoy sweet treats as well.
At Ruins of Nagamachi Bukeyashiki, visitors can enjoy the fresh greenery of the garden trees that can be seen through the earthen walls as they walk through the streets that remind them of the samurai culture of the past. The view of the irrigation canal, which was used to transport lumber in the olden days, will calm your mind.
We come back to Kanazawa station and head back to Tokyo
After arriving at Tokyo station, we will take you back to your hotel and end of the tour.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
