Things to do in Kenroku-en

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 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.

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.

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.

The tour guide was very nice and friendly. Participants were mostly western people but the guide would use simple English to make the communications smoothly without barrier. I like the atmosphere the guide showed up. The Japanese hospitality was sooo nice and would be valued to all people visitng Kanazawa.

The guide, Daniel was very informative and helpful. Make our trip in Kanazawa a memorable one.

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 !

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.
