Experience Art & Culture Tours in Kanazawa with Withlocals

"Très belle visite avec Lucy. Elle s’est adapté à nos besoins et nous a fait faire une très belle visite. La conversation était agréable avec elle et elle connaît bien son sujet. Ce fut très apprécié de toute la famille, dont mes deux plus jeunes qui ne parlent pas pour l’instant d’autre langue que le français."

"We had such a great time exploring Kanazawa with Lucy. She shared so many interesting stories and showed us a side of the city we never would’ve found on our own. We learned a lot about local crafts — from gold leaf to the art of making traditional sweets — and met some really kind people along the way. The highlight was watching a pottery master at work, shaping clay with such calm and precision. It was a relaxed, inspiring afternoon that we’ll definitely remember."

"Lucy is a personable and knowledgeable guide. Adaptable to our needs, she showed us besutidul gardens, crafts and culture the artisans and workshoos we visited, pottery, confectionery shop and molds, gold leaf were fascinating. Thank you Lucy for a delightful morning!"

"We had a blast on our walking tour with Lucy through the artisan workshops in Kanazawa. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable too. We got to go to places we would never have found on our own, to see some of the most amazingly skilled individuals and their crafts, which are painstakingly made with both common and precious materials. This tour is off the beaten path, and highly worthwhile!"

"Lucy was amazing. We loved her and wish she could go with us everywhere. The tour itself was very informative and provided us with lots of history, information and anecdotes. The pace was perfect, our many questions were answered thoughtfully and with detail. It was all around great!"

"I absolutely loved my tour with Lucy around the ateliers of Kanazawa, discovering local arts and crafts, and understanding a bit more the culture and history of the city.
