Shirakawago and Kanazawa Day Tour and optional bullet train

About this activity

Enjoy a tour that you can start directly in Kanazawa or with round-trip transportation from Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka by bullet train. Begin with Shirakawago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its gassho-zukuri houses and traditional scenery, where you’ll have free time and can enjoy lunch on your own. The tour reaches the stunning Kenrokuen Garden, where the tour ends for those who have chosen the “Shirakawago only” option (admission not included). For those on the full experience, the visit continues inside the garden, enjoying its ponds, bridges, lanterns, and pathways in a setting that changes with the seasons. Then, finish by exploring the historic Higashi Chaya district. Then, return to the starting point after a day full of culture, history, and stunning views.
