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.

It was a wonderful visit and, despite the rain, Toma guided us through the beautiful gardens and the castle, sharing fascinating stories and anecdotes along the way. I highly recommend this guided tour to everyone!

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

Visiting Geisha House Shima was the highlight of my trip. Our guide explained the tea house traditions and the instruments, and it felt so personal and authentic. Highly recommend if you want to understand the culture, not just see the sights.
