Asano River Area Clean-Up & Guided Tour - Leave it better than you found it -
【Who Can Join】Travelers, local residents, and Kanazawa citizens
More Than Cleaning.
Feel the Heart of Kanazawa.
In Japan, cleaning is more than just keeping places clean. It is a way to show respect and care for the places we share. We believe in leaving a place as clean as we found it — or even cleaner. Join local residents to clean the beautiful streets of Kanazawa. Through this shared experience, connect with local people and learn about their daily lives. After cleaning, enjoy a special visit to a former traditional teahouse and a geiko rehearsal hall, places not usually open to the public. Experience the culture and traditions that the people of Kanazawa have cared for over generations.
Respect the place. Connect with the people. Discover the culture.[
