This isn’t a scripted food tour—it’s a flexible, personalized tasting experience through Kanazawa’s rich culinary culture, guided by a local host who knows the city’s flavors inside and out. Whether you're craving comfort street food, regional specialties, or something unexpected, your journey is built entirely around your appetite and interests.
From the stalls of Omicho Market to tucked-away snack counters and lively izakaya streets, you’ll explore the neighborhoods where locals actually eat. Expect to uncover hidden gems, hear the stories behind the dishes, and enjoy spontaneous moments that go beyond what’s listed on any menu.
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to tell us about your tastes and preferences. Based on your responses, we’ll match you with a like-minded host who will reach out to co-create your ideal food adventure. You’ll have the freedom to adapt the route as you go—because in Kanazawa, the best meals are often found where you least expect them.
This is a walking tour. Your host will meet you at your selected hotel, and the tour will begin on foot. If you’d prefer to meet at a central location instead, please choose the meeting point option. If your hotel isn’t on the list, simply select the central landmark option. This is a private walking experience. Once you’ve booked, our Experience Planners will get in touch to confirm the meeting point and help with any final details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable start to your personalized tour. NO private vehicle is included. For longer distances, your host may suggest using public transport. Any transport costs can be settled on the day.
This is a great central point to meet your host if your hotel is not listed.
