This tour lets you experience the authentic food culture of Kanazawa through Omicho Market and a local ramen stop. We begin by walking through Omicho Market with your guide, introducing fresh local seafood, market snacks, seasonal vegetables, and hidden gems. You’ll hear real stories from vendors and learn seasonal tips—insights into Kanazawa’s food culture that ordinary sightseeing cannot provide. After the market, we visit a local ramen shop carefully selected by your guide. These are places where local residents actually eat, not tourist-oriented restaurants. You can enjoy classic Japanese flavors such as soy sauce (shoyu), miso, and salt (shio) ramen. Instead of “just looking,” this tour blends eating, learning, and discovering, offering a deeply satisfying food experience. A compact tour perfect for those who want to understand Kanazawa through its flavors.

Beautiful beaches, old temples and shrines and a unique astronautical museum await you in the city of Hakui. Less than an hour north of Kanazawa on the Noto peninsula, this city is truly a slice of rural paradise. The beaches here are long and make for a great escape during the heat of the summer! Historically, this area was a crossroads whether that was during the Sengoku or Warring States Period over 300 years ago, and that importance is still seen today in the National Heritage Site of Myojoji Temple. The Sea of Japan Coast is quite spectacular and diverse, with beaches interspersed between captivating rock formations. Finally, you can experience a unique space museum that has both information about UFO sightings in the area and real NASA moon landers. This area is an excellent mix of traditional and natural beauty with the quirkiness of modern Japan. It is definitely a city not to miss when visiting Kanazawa!
