Itinerary

Higashi Chaya District

one hour

Chaya is a traditional place of feasts and entertainment, where Japan’s famous geishas have been entertaining people through dances and playing traditional musical instruments since the Edo period. Higashiyama is the biggest chaya district in Kanazawa, and provides the opportunity for a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural past. We will have a photo shoot session in the area
Ochaya Shima

15 min Admission not included

Optional: Shima is a historical geisha house in the Higashi Chaya-gai district of Kanazawa. The building is now a museum and gives visitors a look at the life of the geisha who once entertained here.
Kazuemachi Chayagai

20 min

Adjacent to Higashiyama chaya district, Kazuemachi offers the experience of traditional places of entertainment and dining in a uniquely Japanese setting, but is less crowded compared with the more famous Higashiyama. Ideal location for photo shoots.
Kenrokuen Garden

one hour Admission not included

Kenrokuen is justifiably classified as one of Japan's ‘three most beautiful landscape gardens’. The spacious grounds used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle, constructed by the ruling Maeda family over a period of nearly two centuries. Opened to the public in 1871, Kenrokuen features a variety of flowering trees which provide the garden with different aspects and features depending on the season. My personal favourite is Spring, but Nno matter what time of year, you won’t want to miss a visit to this magnificent, quintessential Japanese garden. You cannot miss a photo session here. It is a must do!
Kanazawa Castle

15 min

Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the Maeda Clan’s power over the Kaga Domain in Edo period Japan. The castle's thick outer walls still stand ranked and angled like a massive ziggurat. Visit to my favourite part of the castle – Ishikawamon Gate – to round out your visit. We will have photo shoot session.
Kaga

5 min

We will pick you up/drop off in Komatsu/Kaga area.
