★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 361 reviews · from $134

Kanazawa highlights in 4 hours with a private English guide: Higashi Chaya, samurai districts, Kenrokuen Garden, and castle park. Pickup included.

“Should be made clearer on the site that: - the half day tour would only cover 2 (max 3) of the 4 sites listed - we would be expected to pay the bus/taxi fare for travelling with the guide around Our guide was decent. Compared to other walking tours I've been on, the price is way too steep for the standard of the tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 141 reviews · from $21

Make your own ring in Kanazawa with a hands-on hammer texture pattern, customize materials and finish, and take it home the same day.

“Was a very nice experience, we were the only ones doing it and we made a ring for one another. You don't actually make the ring, you just make the pattern of the ring which has many choices. Also, the fee on this ad is for the smallest size, to get a normal sized ring (silver) it cost us an extra 11000 yen (about $110), which we paid onsite. But we enjoyed the experience nevertheless.”
