KANAZAWA, A DIVE INTO THE FEUDAL ERA
A true gem of Japanese tourism, Kanazawa is known as “the golden marsh”. Its inhabitants live to the rhythm of the waves and a distinctive way of life. The city is defined by its local craftsmanship and art.
ONE NIGHT IN A MINSHUKU

IN THE HEIGHTS OF TAKAYAMA
A small town perched atop a mountain amid old wooden houses and craft shops, this village has preserved its old-world charm. It is the ideal place to sample sake in its many forms, with six breweries to explore. From Takayama, set off on an excursion into the Japanese Alps.
Takayama shines brighter still in spring, with one of the country’s finest festivals featuring parades of ornate floats.
