The Light-Up Bus Walking Tour: Discover Kanazawa’s Art & Garden Highlights

Explore Kanazawa by night with locals and discover stories you won’t find in guidebooks.

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 on the Kanazawa Light-Up Bus and experience the city’s art and architecture under the stars.
We’ll first visit the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art at night, followed by viewing the beautifully illuminated exteriors of the National Crafts Museum and the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of History (also known as the Red Brick Museum).
Then, back on the bus, we’ll make our way to Oyama Shrine and a traditional Japanese garden—Gyokusen’inmaru Garden—where you may catch a glimpse of the fireworks from the softly lit paths.

The tour ends in Korinbo, where you can enjoy dinner on your own or hop back on the Light-Up Bus with our staff to return to Kanazawa Station. A perfect way to spend a summer evening in Kanazawa!


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


Route: Kanazawa Station → 21st Century Museum → Honda-no-mori Park → Oyama Shrine & Gyokusen’inmaru Garden 

●All tours are conducted in English and Japanese.

Walk-ins welcome! If there are available slots, you may join on the day of the tour.
