A city day with room to enjoy it.
Use this route as a starting point. Stop order and time at each place are adjusted around your pickup, interests, opening hours, and the pace of your group.
Kenrokuen
Begin with a garden walk and time to notice its changing seasonal details. Choose a shorter loop if you prefer a gentler pace.
Kanazawa Castle Park
Continue to the neighboring grounds. Selected restored buildings can be visited when opening times and your interests align.
Omicho Market & lunch
Explore the market before a lunch break. Seafood is a popular choice, but your meal can be planned around dietary preferences.
Higashi Chaya
Finish among the traditional teahouse streets, with time for craft shops and a café stop.

What is included in the quote?
Your written proposal confirms the touring duration, meeting point, return point, guide or driver service, and transport arrangement. Admission tickets, meals, local transport, ferries, parking, tolls, and optional activities are included only where explicitly listed. There is no fixed published price for this sample route.
Can we shorten the day or reduce walking?
Tell us your preferred walking distance, steps you want to avoid, and any wheelchair or stroller requirements. We can propose fewer stops, more rest time, or vehicle support. Access arrangements are confirmed for the chosen sights before booking.
Can we add a cultural experience?
Yes, subject to availability. An experience generally replaces a sightseeing stop or needs a longer day. Let us know what interests you so we can include booking requirements and costs in the proposal.
