It was such a joy to bring together travelers from the US, Australia, Europe, and the Philippines—all eager to get a "Taste of Kanazawa". ✨

A beautiful day for Ian and his guests to dive into Kanazawa’s rich samurai heritage. 🏯✨
From the historic Nagamachi district to the scenic grounds of Kanazawa Castle Park, these iconic spots are must-sees!

The last snow in Shirakawago! ❄
While it's already spring in Kanazawa, winter lasts a little longer in the mountain villages.
Kumiko celebrated the occasion by taking her guests to a Sake tasting.

Our guide Nozomi loves sharing Kanazawa’s rich craft heritage with her guests. From intricate fabric dyeing to the fine art of metal inlaying, it’s always a treat to go behind the scenes and watch skilled artisans bring tradition to life. ✨

& of course there is always time for a lunch stop on a Full Day Tour with us 🥢️

Smiley faces all across Kanazawa during our tours last week! Walking under cherry blossoms in full bloom make for such a special atmosphere. 🌸

The guests on our Taste of Kanazawa last week were lucky to experience Kazuemachi's cherry blossom trees in full bloom. 🌸
👉Swipe for the beautifully crafted seasonal Wagashi we tasted in Higashi Chaya.

When in Takayama, a Hida beef dinner is a must. Our guide Kumiko took her guests on a night tour followed by delicious a full-course meal. Is there a better way to end a full day of sightseeing?


🇯🇵

A private dinner party hosted by a Geisha is one of the most exclusive experiences in Japan. Last week, our guests had the pleasure to fully immerse themselves in the traditional art of entertainment. From fun games to perfecting sake pouring, the evening was a full success and the memories will last for a lifetime.


🇯🇵

Ian and his guests were blessed with a sunny day and cherry blossom trees in full bloom this week! Everyone had a great time exploring Kanazawa's samurai heritage in Nagamachi and the Castle Park.

Inami is a fantastic day trip from Kanazawa for anyone who is interested in hands-on experiences and traditional crafts! The driving tour includes a visit of an artisan's atelier with the chance to have a close up look at the impressive pieces. Guests can also try their own skills at a sake cup carving workshop, and use the handmade cup for a tasting at a local sake brewery.

This family had the pleasure of exploring Kanazawa with Nozomi on 3 occasions. First up was a day tour covering locations like the D.T. Suzuki Museum and an artisan workshop. In the evening, they explored the Higashi Chaya district by night on a private tour and enjoyed a local meal to end the day. Stay tuned for the pictures from the private Geisha experience on day 2!

Appreciation of our artisan's work doesn't have any age limit. This week, our guide Nozomi took a family with a baby girl to a Kaga Yuzen (Kimono Dyeing) artisan. The colourful designs quickly grabbed the attention of the youngest visitor. Thanks to the master's enthusiasm in showing her his work, she left the workshop with a big smile on her face.

We take some time out to visit another Kanazawa Master, Shijimaya san, a descendant of the Samurai and preserver of many original Samurai swords and other feudal-era weapons. A wealth of history, culture and battle stories. If you are interested in getting your hands on an original Samurai sword or witnessing a demonstration of the skill and mastery of swordsmanship, look no further.
