行程詳情
This exclusive art and craft tour offers deep insights into Japanese craftsmanship through curator-led visits to two outstanding museums in Kanazawa: the National Crafts Museum and the Nakamura Memorial Museum.
Located within the Kenrokuen Area Cultural Zone, these museums provide a refined introduction to modern and contemporary crafts, as well as tea ceremony utensils from the Edo period onward. This tour is designed for travelers seeking intellectual depth, cultural context, and access beyond standard museum visits.
A sophisticated experience featuring commentary by curators specializing in crafts
National Crafts Museum is the only national museum among Japan's five that specializes exclusively in crafts and design. It stands as the most suitable venue for gaining a deep understanding of crafts.
Through guided commentary from active curators or certified craft experts, participants can learn how to appreciate crafts and grasp the essence of Japanese culture. A special pamphlet, newly created for this tour, allows visitors to explore Japanese craft history while delving into the Maeda clan's samurai legacy that transformed Ishikawa Prefecture into a hub of craft production.
