Kanazawa

The staff were friendly and professional. They carries so many beautiful kimono and accessories. So it is worth it to buy the more premium plan. We are very happy with their service.

We had a wonderful time at the tea ceremony, which was led by a very professional woman. The ceremony was conducted in French, which was a real plus. Everything was perfect, and I highly recommend this activity during your stay in Kanazawa.

What a fantastic time. The owner/instructor was great, such a joyous energy. The class exceeded our expectations, it did not just feature sushi but also side dishes and a local specialty. I have never been a huge tamago fan but I guess I just had never made my own. So delicious and doable at home. So happy we took it, cannot recommend it any higher. A must book.

Guides were very knowledgeable about the area and even the driver can speak English. It was snowing during our visit. The time given to explore the area was just nice, not too long or too short. The agent was also very helpful to accommodate to our dietary requirements. Recommended.

The weather was great, and it was a fulfilling trip. I took some wonderful landscape photos. Yasushi was a fantastic guide. During the trip, I asked about the bear incident. I’m sorry my English isn’t very good—I was trying to make a joke to lighten the mood. I truly hope all disasters have passed and won’t happen again. Peace and safety are the most important things.

We had a great experience on the Shirakawa-go, Kenrokuen, and Higashi-Chaya tour. The pace was a bit rushed, but it was exactly what we needed to see all the highlights in just one day. We also really appreciated that the tour started and ended exactly on time. Huge thanks to our guide Cesar for a very thorough tour, clear instructions, and helpful sightseeing tips. He did a great job keeping everyone on schedule. Shout-out as well to Ikeda-san, our bus driver, for driving safely despite the heavy snow and for kindly lending us his umbrella. The tour operator was also very responsive to our questions on WhatsApp, which made everything smoother. Overall, a well-organized tour and a great option if you want to cover a lot in one day.

Such a great tour with good enthusiastic guide 小Xi and safe Japanese driver. Big coach was clean and comfortable. The scenery along the way was beautiful. Everything went well. We were very lucky to have a guide who spoke clearly and gave detailed instructions, information and recommendations both verbally and through WhatsApp. The itinerary was excellent with sufficient time at every stop. The tour is self-guided so we enjoyed the flexibility to do what we want and roam around freely based on the many places suggested by 小Xi who WhatsApp the exact location on Google maps to us. He also provided maps and gave food suggestions. We stayed at Hotel MyStays Kanazawa. Rooms are clean and new but very small. Double bed is also very small for two people. Best to ask for twin beds when booking this tour. Breakfast at the hotel was great with a wide spread of local and continental food. Overall we enjoyed this tour very much. Highly recommend this over a day tour to Shirakawago/Takayama.

Gareth is excellent, nice and helpful and can take care of everyone during the trip.

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!
