Recommended spots:
Kenrokuen
Located next to Kanazawa Castle, the Kenrokuen garden is considered one of the top three most beautiful gardens in Japan. Visitors can enjoy a variety of trees and flowers that change colors throughout seasons.
Kanazawa Castle
Kanazawa's symbolic icon, Kanazawa Castle was built in 1583. The well-restored castle is worth visiting to see the traditional skills of Japanese carpenters who carefully put the building together without the use of any nails.
Omicho Market
Located in the center of the city of Kanazawa, Omicho Market has been the largest fish market in Kanazawa since the Edo period (1615 - 1868). The market is filled with more than 200 specialty shops and is a great place to stop by for a fresh seafood lunch.
Your tour concludes with a drop-off back at the original departure point.

Kyoko was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable and was very patient and considerate with my 80 in-laws. Her English was also very good. She made our experience in Kanazawa very memorable. We felt that we got information we would not have gotten in a larger group tour. Also, it was wonderful to have a car pick up drop off curbside.
See Kanazawa your own way and at your own pace by chartering a vehicle for the day. Select a limousine, van, or bus for your private group (a maximum of 15 people) and decide whether or not to be accompanied by a local guide. Set your own route according to your own interests and see the best that Kanazawa has to offer.
