Excursii KANAZAWA STATION

We had a great experience on the Shirakawa-go, Kenrokuen, and Higashi-Chaya tour. The pace was a bit rushed, but it was exactly what we needed to see all the highlights in just one day. We also really appreciated that the tour started and ended exactly on time. Huge thanks to our guide Cesar for a very thorough tour, clear instructions, and helpful sightseeing tips. He did a great job keeping everyone on schedule. Shout-out as well to Ikeda-san, our bus driver, for driving safely despite the heavy snow and for kindly lending us his umbrella. The tour operator was also very responsive to our questions on WhatsApp, which made everything smoother. Overall, a well-organized tour and a great option if you want to cover a lot in one day.

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.

Ghiduri turistice foarte prietenoase și bine informate. Tur pietonal foarte util. Recomand cu căldură.

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!!

Un tur foarte instructiv, iar ghidul nostru vorbitor de engleză, Katie, și șoferița noastră sunt foarte calde și prietenoase. Am început dimineața cu o experiență artizanală la Nousaku – învățând să facem cupe/farfurii din tablă. Apoi a urmat o plimbare pitorească până la Shirakawago, experimentând casele în stil Gasso și cultura locală. Am avut un prânz delicios cu carne de vită Hida… am terminat fiecare bob de pe farfurii. În general, un tur foarte plăcut, cu excepția faptului că a fost o zi ploioasă.

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!
