Our final stop in Kanazawa offers a rich and immersive experience of Japan's cultural and historical heritage. Enjoy a stroll through Shiakawago Village, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses. These unique structures, with their steep thatched roofs, are designed to withstand heavy snowfall. The Wada Family Residence is one of the largest and most well-preserved houses in the village, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Edo period.

Visit Higashi Chaya District, a beautifully preserved historical area that dates back to 1820. This district is famous for its traditional wooden buildings and teahouses where geishas once entertained guests. You can wander through the narrow streets, explore the charming shops, and perhaps enjoy a cup of tea in one of the teahouses

Finally, visit Kanazawa Castle, originally built in the late 16th century. Although much of the original structure was destroyed over the years, the castle has been meticulously restored. The castle grounds include the reconstructed Gyokuseninmaru Garden and the impressive Ishikawa-mon Gate, which leads to Kenroku-en Garden, one of Japan's three most beautiful gardens. This spacious garden, dating back to the 1670’s, features stunning landscapes, including ponds, streams, waterfalls, and tea houses. Each season brings a different kind of beauty to the garden, from cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant autumn leaves.
