★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,049 reviews · from $122Our pick

Full-day tour from Kanazawa to UNESCO Shirakawa-go and Kenrokuen Garden, with wagashi sweets, gold leaf craft time, and geisha district stops.

“Yasushi San was very informative and we had a great time with him, Shirakawa is a place taken from a post card, beautiful, early morning was great as not many tourists were visiting. In the afternoon the gardens were amazing and it rained like crazy so we skipped the sweet making but we gather again for the post card and walk to the geisha neighborhood. Very kind and very interesting all the things we learned.”
