Fantastic 5.0
This unlimited pass is such a great deal! Visiting just two or more attractions already makes it worth the price, and it's super convenient to simply scan the QR code for admission! Highly recommended for travelers who aren't in a rush and want to leisurely explore Kanazawa 🙂

My wife and I just got married and wanted to experience the country side of Shirakawago and the heritage of Hida-Takayama. We’re fortunate enough to get seats in the front row of the bus. The incredible scenery and changing leaves in the fall by themselves would have easily been enough, but what took this over the top was the exceptional hospitality of our guides. They provided the perfect balance of historical education on the bus while allowing us to experience each destination in a unique way. The restaurant in Shirakawago was extremely unnexpected and delicious. I highly recommend skipping the observatory and experiencing the city. I also highly recommend trying the world famous pudding in Shirakawago and the famous Hida beef in Takayama! Can’t thank our amazing host/guides enough! Truly life changing! Btw, we took these photos ourselves on our phones, enjoy!

We had the most amazing guide for this tour, Yasushi, who made the day so enjoyable and relaxing. He gave us great and valuable information on the bus so we could have as much time to ourselves in Shirakawa-go once we arrived. His local food recommendations were spot on, some of the best food we have had. The gardens were beautiful and the craft sessions were a lot of fun and something a bit different and special to add to our trip. Highly recommend this tour.

Guide was Ricky and he was helpful and generous with recommendations on what to look out and what local food to eat. We reached all 3 places on time and there was sufficient free time to explore around. The trip also includes a night stay at a hotel at Kanazawa, thank you!

Vasara Kimono Rental gave me an amazing experience. The staff were patient, friendly, and very professional in helping me choose a kimono that suited my style. The dressing process was quick, comfortable, and done with great skill. There were many beautiful kimono designs to choose from, and the hair styling option was totally worth it—simple but elegant, perfect for photos around the city. The location was convenient and close to popular sightseeing spots, making it easy to start exploring immediately after getting dressed. Overall, the service, quality, and experience were excellent. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a smooth, enjoyable kimono rental in Japan!

Here’s a polished version you could post as a review: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful private walking tour in Kanazawa with our guide, Akari. The experience felt truly personalised and we loved being able to shape the tour around our interests. Akari was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and such a delight to spend time with; her eagerness to share insights and answer our questions really deepened our understanding of the culture and sights. Having that context made everything so much more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kanazawa!

Great 4.0
After an initial mixup with the tour being overbooked, Daniel sorted it out and the group got a taxi to follow the bus. This a good day trip, albeit pricy, with destinations that are difficult to reach without a car. We recommend it.
