Discover a unique experience that will take you from the vibrant Kanazawa to the magical village of Shirakawago and the charms of Kanazawa.

The day begins with a departure from Kanazawa, marking the start of a journey filled with history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. The first stop is the charming village of Shirakawago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Famous for its traditional gassho-zukuri houses, with steep thatched roofs shaped like praying hands, this picturesque village was designed to withstand heavy snowfall. Upon arrival, visitors will have free time to enjoy lunch on their own and stroll through the peaceful streets, admiring the centuries-old architecture, local artisan workshops, and the serene atmosphere that feels frozen in time.

The journey continues to the spectacular Kenrokuen Garden, considered one of Japan’s most beautiful gardens and a true oasis of art and nature. Its ponds reflecting trees and flowers, elegant bridges, stone lanterns, and carefully designed pathways create a harmonious and peaceful environment that changes with the seasons, offering a unique experience at any time of year.

Later, the itinerary moves on to the historic districts of Nishi Chaya or Nagamachi, depending on the day. Both neighborhoods preserve Kanazawa’s traditional charm: Nishi Chaya, with its classic teahouses, transports visitors to the Edo period, while Nagamachi, the former samurai district, captivates with its cobblestone streets and residences that retain the elegance of centuries past.

The day concludes with a return to Kanazawa Station, wrapping up a journey full of discoveries that blends stunning landscapes, living history, and the cultural essence of the Hokuriku region. This is a complete and unforgettable experience, leaving a lasting impression of traditional Japan and its harmonious connection with nature.
