Itinerary

Shirakawago

1 h 40 min

World famous Shirakawago is a must see in Japan. You will feel like you are doing a time travel here. Japanese old tradition and unique Gassho zukuri houses still exist here. Photo shoot session by a professional photographer to capture your travel memories.

Stop 3

45 min

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
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.
Kanazawa Station

5 min

We will pick you up at 8am/drop off at your hotel at 6pm in Kanazawa.
