Kanazawa Tours

My My parents and I are enjoying this trip. We really liked the scenery and the lunch here. On the bus, I learned about the UNESCO Omicho-gassho-zukuri style village. I like listening to stories. Thank you, Team Leader Kana and the bus driver. Keep it up—make sure to keep offering day tours

We started and ended on time. Our tour guide, Ceasar, was helpful and knowledgeable about the tour. Special thanks to our bus driver, Yamafuji, who brought us back safely to Kanazawa.

Although the itinerary was packed and we were constantly switching between different modes of transportation, Vivian and all the tour members managed their time exceptionally well. No one was ever late for any leg of the journey. Vivian was also very clear about meeting points and times, and she paid special attention to the elderly members who needed extra care. Besides the snow walls, the mountain and tree scenery along the way up Tateyama Kurobe was beautiful. The weather was particularly good on the day we visited, and we saw everything we hoped to, except for a rainbow over the waterfall. It was a very fortunate, relaxing, and enjoyable trip.

our guide Vivian was great we had a mixed language group and ache accommodated for both English and mandarin speaking members. very knowledgeable about the loactaions and giving information and recommendations during transfers to maximize time spent exploring our destinations. was great to see so many places in one trip obviously some places were starting to close down by the time we reached Takayama but that’s noting to do with the tour just a packed schedule busy throughout the day.

Had a great time. Our guide Keita took time to give us lots of background info. We did the full day tour that included painting the Daruma and this was a fun activity and a great way to also see parts of Kanazawa. I would definitely recommend this tour.

What an amazing tour! Mike was very a great guide and very knowledgeable about the towns and their history. Some of the small museums has very little information provided, but Mike was able to give us thorough explanations with engaging storytelling. We would never have found out about the wood carving village Inami, but it was such a great place to learn about local history and craft traditions. This tour provide very good value and never upcharged us or surprised us with unknown fees. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to explore beyond Kanazawa.

On the way to Shirakawa-go, we stopped by Takayama Old Town to enjoy the festival atmosphere and had a wonderful time in beautiful Shirakawa-go. Thank you to our guide, Yukino, and our driver for your kind guidance and safe driving.

Mariko-san was an incredible guide! She was so warm and attentive that our 1-day tour truly felt like a private experience, keeping us comfortable and engaged with wonderful local insights and facts. She even gifted us her own handmade origami as parting gifts. Our driver, Hajime-san, was equally accommodating and took extra effort to bring us to fantastic photo spots along the way. They made a wonderful team—highly recommended!

The itinerary was very tight, the tour leader was competent, and the driver—an experienced female driver—was very steady. The condition of the bus was a bit old, and the APA Hotel in Kanazawa was located in a remote area, making it difficult to find food after checking in late at night.
