What you'll see and do

  1. Shomyo Falls

    There is a short hiking trail up to the base of the falls. The 350m waterfalls were first formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, which carved the path of the valley.

    80 minutes here

  2. Midagahara

    At the Midagahara Wetlands Plateau, we'll hop out the bus to take a trek through the trails. Bring a bento with you, as we'll stop and have lunch while we look out over the wetlands. From this high viewpoint, it's easy to feel on top of the world, above even the clouds themselves. Eat up, as you'll need the energy! There are a few routes around this area, but your guide will help you keep your bearings and get the best views for how much time we have here.

  3. Tateyama Murodo

    Once we've explored the plateau to its fullest, we'll get back on the bus and make the final ascent to the top of the mountain, Murodo. There is a small station here with a café, some shopping areas and a restaurant. If you declined to bring a bento, you can take some time and have lunch here. The area out at the back of the station is a series of large hiking trails. Your guide will explain the different routes available as you make your way to one of the most famous sights on the mountain: Mikurigaike Pond.

Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kanazawa.

How much does Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks cost?

+

Prices start at $28000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kanazawa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks take?

+

Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kanazawa is not rushed.

Is Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kanazawa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kanazawa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kanazawa and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Kanazawa Day Tour: Shomyo Falls & Tateyama Mountain Walks start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kanazawa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Kanazawa?

+

On Outty we rank every Kanazawa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include World Heritage Shirakawa-go and Experience Tours from Kanazawa, Kanazawa Full Day Tour (Private Guide), Kanazawa Highlights: Garden, Castle, Samurai & Geisha+Taxi. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Kanazawa?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Kanazawa?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
