Event Overview
The walking tour is organised by "eye on Kanazawa", the one and only English information magazine for foreign tourists published in Kanazawa. This is not an ordinary, cliched guidedーtour; be prepared to get surprised by facts and stories you don't find online or in guidebooks. Highly recommended for those who would like to appreciate Kanazawa in a deeper sense.

Tour route
Each participant will receive a set of a tour guide system receiver and earphones so that you will be able to clearly hear the guide, who will speak through a transmitter with a microphone attached to her. This is NOT an automatic translation machine. The guide will speak in English and participants will hear the guide's explanations in English through the guide system.
