Things to do in Kanazawa

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.

Aiko was fabulous. She spoke very good English, Spanish, Japanese, and others. She was entertaining and educational making custom materials that enhanced the experience. The tour was a great way to see the village, garden, and gisha district, and to make candy and a gold leaf post card. I recommend the full day optiin. Best way to see it all.

This day trip was very well organized and made it easy to visit Shirakawago without worrying about transportation. Shirakawago itself was stunning, especially the traditional gassho-zukuri houses, which felt like stepping into a postcard. The schedule was smooth and gave enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.

I had an absolutely brilliant time during this tour! Our tour guide was very insightful, knowledgeable, and knew the locals well! We were able to try some local handmade sweets as well as warm tea for free, while searching for all the little kittens around Inami! Stunning history and views. I'd highly recommend. The transfer for me heading from Kanazawa to Takayama was incredibly easy. They just took my bags to the other bus for me, I didnt have to lift a finger! I'd say the only con for me is booking with Klook, you annoyingly can't just book one ticket so I had to buy 1 adult and 1 child ticket even though it was just me :( so for any solo travellers reading this I'd recommend booking directly with the tour guide company instead for a better deal!

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!

If you’re exploring Kanazawa this pass is extremely worth it I’d say! It paid for itself really fast and makes entering all the main attractions much smoother as well since you don’t need to get cash out or anything, super convenient!

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.

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.
