Start your morning with a guided walk through Omicho Market, just after it opens—when the freshest flavors of Kanazawa are on display. Your local guide will share the food culture of “Kanazawa’s Kitchen,” which has served the city for over 300 years.

Taste six seasonal items in small portions, including Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) sushi, sweet shrimp miso soup, Kaga lotus chips, wagashi (traditional sweets), and roasted green tea.

An AI-powered interpretation earpiece will assist throughout the tour, and the guide will take photos and send them to you for free on the same day.

With up to eight guests per tour, you’ll enjoy a relaxed pace even in narrow alleys. After the market, stroll to a quiet photo spot near Kanazawa Castle’s stone walls. Please wear comfortable shoes for gentle slopes.

Savor the best of Kanazawa through its food and culture!
