Kanazawa Samurai & Geisha Spaziergang mit 2 Handwerksbesuchen und Mittagessen

Amazing experience. Our guide Tomo was outstanding. So warm and welcoming and knowledgeable. We toured the Samurai district and visited one of the houses and spent a short period of time in a geisha district where we had lunch with our guide in a local restaurant. The highlight though is visiting two local craft shops. One produces lacquer from tree sap, the same way it has been done for hundreds of years. The shop has been run by the same family since the Edo period! Then we visited the last remaining workshop that creates washi paper umbrellas, by hand. The skill and artistry on display are truly special.

This was the best tour in our trip. Our guide Yoto was amazing and shared lots of cultural information. The craftsman we visited were really interesting and shared a lot about traditional trades in Kanazawa. She was very kind to my daughter and son, showing them origami while sharing a meal with us. The lunch restaurant was great. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

The visit with the local craftspeople was interesting, and our guide was pleasant and attentive. We would have appreciated more historical context about the Samurai District and deeper insight into the world of the geisha.

I very rarely rave about walking tours but this one deserves a mention beyond doubt. So much was packed into the four hours yet still we did not feel rushed at all.Our tour guide, Tetsuya, was a wonderful knowledgeable and fun guide who was able to answer all of our questions. The traditional crafts of lacquering and umbrella making were both interesting and astounding and held the attention of both of my teenage children. There was plenty for lunch and the ninja temple was just the perfect end and completely unmissable. I cannot recommend enough. Money very well spent, arigato gozaimasu Tetsuya🙏🏽

Tomo was incredibly kind throughout this excursion, she took us to visit two traditional workshops for making lacquer and Japanese umbrellas, as well as a samurai house and the "ninja" temple not far from the geisha street where we all had lunch together. An excursion that the whole family enjoyed (2 boys aged 11 and 14).

Such a knowledgeable guide. We learned loads and he was able to answer all our questions and was very attentive. Definitely recommend.

"We had an absolutely unforgettable time in Kanazawa! This walking tour far exceeded all our expectations. Diving into the rich history of the samurai and geisha districts was deeply immersive—we felt like we were walking through a beautiful historical movie. A huge thank you to Rai and his assistant Iku for such a wonderful experience! Your knowledge and hospitality made the day truly special. Visiting the artisan workshops was a highlight—getting to see such incredible craftsmanship firsthand was priceless. And the lunch was the perfect, delicious ending to our tour. Thank you, Rai and Iku, for making these 4 hours fly by like a blink of an eye! We highly recommend this tour to everyone!"
