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.

Beautiful walk, well-maintained areas. My two boys, aged 11 and 13, enjoyed the place and searching for key points on the map. Recommended.

this was an amazing private tour with Hiro. he was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic which made the whole experience so enjoyable! would highly recommend.., and you can wander back around after the tour using the same day tickets…. so much better than Tokyo tour (for standing buildings and stories)

Selda was an excellent guide. We highly recommend her if you are American for her strong English speaking ability. We were guided through the Samurai and Geisha districts on a rainy day. We also visited a few local shops, the Omicho market, and had a local lunch. We finished out with the Kenrokuen garden and castle wall. It feels like we packed a lot into a single day.

This tour was amazing. Our guide Yasushi was extremely knowledgeable and so much fun. He was the best. I recommend doing this tour early into your Kanazawa stay, that way during the rest of the trip you will know more of the history of the town and great places to visit. I would recommend this tour to everyone who comes, whether you’re by yourself or with a group.

I had a truly wonderful experience. The tour was engaging, enjoyable, and very informative, and I learned a lot throughout it. Selda was warm, helpful, and lovely to spend time with. She also shared excellent recommendations that made my time in Kanazawa even more special. Thanks to her recommendation, I also went to a geisha show afterward, which was absolutely incredible. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it !

Masayo was amazing! She really made us feel welcome and was so helpful and receptive to requests. She knew so many people, brought us into local shops, and had recommendations for after the tour that were all so amazing. She even stayed a little past her time to help us find a good place to eat. If you have group that wants to tour Kanazawa, please ask for Madayo for a lovely time.
