Get ready to experience Kanazawa’s rich craft heritage on this unique tour, where tradition and creativity come to life. Kanazawa is renowned for its rich craft heritage due to several historical, cultural, and geographical factors that have shaped its development as a center for traditional Japanese arts and crafts. Being a creative person myself, I'm looking forward to sharing my passion for crafts with you and taking you mainly off the beaten paths to selected places in Kanazawa. During this immersive tour, we will visit several artisan shops producing and selling high quality local crafts.
