Your day commences with a departure from Kanazawa, embarking on an experience steeped in history, culture, and awe-inspiring scenery. The first port of call is the UNESCO World Heritage village of Shirakawago, renowned for its traditional gassho-zukuri houses. These homes, with their steep thatched roofs, are ingeniously designed to withstand heavy snowfall. Here, you have the opportunity to savour lunch at your leisure and meander through tranquil streets, appreciating the timeless architecture and local crafts.
The adventure continues to Kenrokuen, one of Japan’s most esteemed gardens. This haven of tranquillity boasts ponds, bridges, and seasonal landscapes that harmoniously blend art and nature.
For those who have chosen the tour option that also includes Kanazawa, after visiting the garden, the next destination will be the historic districts of Nishi Chaya or Nagamachi, depending on the day. After exploring these areas, you return to Kanazawa Station, bringing an end to a memorable day encapsulating the cultural richness and natural splendour of the Hokuriku region.
