Take the ship’s Shuttle bus to Kanazawa Station ($20) and purchase day ticket for the Loop Bus (Y800). (Get ahead of the crowd if possible) You can get on and off wherever you wish. Recommend time at Higashi Chaya Geisha area, Kanazawa castle, Kenrikuen Garden and Oyama Shrine. Return to ship by free shuttle from the station. An easy way to see this beautiful city!

Excellent port to explore on your own. We used the ship-provided shuttle to go into town on our own and then used the city's tourist bus to go to Kenroku-en (garden), which was magnificent, despite some drizzles. From the garden, we walked down to the historic Chaya district and then on to the market. Foodies should not skip the market, especially seafood lovers. Our self-touring was capped off with a stop at the Pokemon Center store near the train station and shuttle bus pickup.
