Begin your journey at Oyama Shrine, where the unique blend of Japanese and European architecture sets the stage for Kanazawa’s fascinating history. Stroll through the grounds of Kanazawa Castle, once home to powerful samurai lords, and hear stories of life in Japan’s feudal era.

Take a relaxing break at a traditional tea café in Kenrokuen Gardens, one of Japan’s most beautiful gardens. Enjoy a refreshing drink while soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

The highlight of the afternoon is a hands-on Kaga Yuzen experience, where you’ll create your own beautiful piece of art to take home – usually a small traditional bag. Guided by a local artisan, learn about the delicate techniques and vibrant colours that make Kanazawa’s silk dyeing world-famous.
