Samurai Castle Town Kanazawa Tour!

I went to Kanazawa on a hot day when the temperature exceeded 35 degrees and even a little movement made me break out in a sweat. Kanazawa is known for its heavy rainfall, so much so that there is a saying, "Even if you forget your lunch, don't forget your umbrella." We were blessed with good weather all day!

Until now, the only way to get from Kansai to Kanazawa was to use the Thunderbird direct express train, but with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on March 16th of this year, it became necessary to transfer to the Shinkansen at Tsuruga Station! Tsuruga Station is a platform for conventional trains and The Shinkansen platform was built, so it has changed a lot. If you don't have a lot of luggage, you should be able to transfer in about 10 minutes, but there are quite a few people who miss their trains, so please make sure you have enough time to transfer before boarding. Please do so.

When I got off at Kanazawa Station for the first time in a while, I saw many inbound tourists as rumored. This seems to be a very popular tourist destination. The inbound tourists were sightseeing in Kanazawa city and then going a little further to visit the World Heritage Site, Shirakawa River. There were many people going to Shirakawa-go and Takayama area. There were tourist maps in multiple languages at the tourist information center, but most people were looking at brochures for Shirakawa-go and Takayama area. The tour bus was full. They are often busy, so make sure you check to see if you can make a reservation before you go!

Today, I'd like to introduce a sample tour (half day) that I'm planning to post on the website. The tour departs from a hotel in the area around JR Kanazawa Station or from JR Kanazawa Station!
