VISIT KANAZAWA, JAPAN - Official Travel Guide

This tour offers a unique walking experience where locals and travelers come together to explore Kanazawa. Whether you're a visitor seeing Kanazawa through local eyes or a resident experiencing your city from a traveler’s perspective, it’s a new way to connect with the heart of the city.

Hop aboard the Kanazawa Light-Up Bus and discover two of the city’s most atmospheric geisha districts. At night, these areas reveal a quieter, more elegant side—far different from the bustling daytime crowds. Then, ride the bus again and hop off at Katamachi, Kanazawa’s busiest nightlife district. As we walk through the streets, you’ll learn how layers of history—from the Edo period to today—are woven into the neighborhood’s character.

The tour ends in Katamachi, where you’re free to continue exploring, grab dinner, or hop back on the Light-Up Bus with our staff to return to Kanazawa Station. Either way, it’s a perfect way to experience the magic of Kanazawa at night.

Why not escape the summer heat and discover a different side of the city—one that comes alive in the glow of evening lights?
