KANAZAWA STATION -kierrokset

Meillä oli hieno kokemus Shirakawa-gon, Kenrokuenin ja Higashi-Chayan kierroksella. Tahti oli hieman kiireinen, mutta se oli juuri sitä, mitä tarvitsimme nähdäksemme kaikki kohokohdat yhdessä päivässä. Arvostimme myös suuresti sitä, että kierros alkoi ja päättyi täsmälleen ajallaan. Suuret kiitokset oppaallemme Cesarille erittäin perusteellisesta kierroksesta, selkeistä ohjeista ja hyödyllisistä nähtävyysvinkeistä. Hän teki hienoa työtä pitäessään kaikki aikataulussa. Erityiskiitokset myös Ikeda-sanille, bussinkuljettajallemme, turvallisesta ajosta runsaasta lumisateesta huolimatta ja siitä, että hän ystävällisesti lainasi meille sateenvarjoaan. Matkanjärjestäjä vastasi myös erittäin nopeasti kysymyksiimme WhatsAppissa, mikä teki kaikesta sujuvampaa. Kaiken kaikkiaan hyvin järjestetty kierros ja loistava vaihtoehto, jos haluat nähdä paljon yhdessä päivässä.

We ended up having a private tour on the Friday. Hide was our guide for the day and he was fun and informative and would thoroughly recommend doing this tour as Hide loves his job and is the perfect man to show you his region with excellent knowledge.

Erittäin ystävälliset ja asiantuntevat matkaoppaat. Erittäin antoisa kävelykierros. Suosittelen lämpimästi.

Amazing tour given to us by Daniel!Highly recommend this tour as you will experience and see places that are not your average 'touristy' activities. The Gold leaf foiling was so much fun (staff were so kind) and was great to have something uniquely your own to take home. Ninja Museum was amazing as you can see armour and weapons up close. Daniel was the best tour guide. So down to earth and personable. Book now everyone, you won't regret it! Ps we got graced by a prying mantis at stautes honouring the Seven Samurai! Look at this cute little guy!!

Erittäin oivaltava kierros, ja englanninkielinen oppaamme Katie sekä naiskuljettajamme ovat erittäin lämpimiä ja ystävällisiä. Aloitimme aamun käsityökokemuksella Nousakussa – opimme valmistamaan tinasta Sake-kuppeja/astioita. Sitä seurasi maisemallinen ajomatka Shirakawagoon, jossa koimme Gasso-tyyliset talot ja kulttuurikokemuksen. Söimme herkullisen Hida-naudanliha-aterian lounaaksi… söimme kaiken lautasiltamme. Kaiken kaikkiaan erittäin nautinnollinen kierros, paitsi että oli sateinen päivä.

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.

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

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!
