“A Wonderful Day in Kanazawa with Yogi!”
We had a wonderful day exploring Kanazawa with Yogi! He was an excellent guide for our group of 5 —informative, easy to understand, and very hospitable. He shared so much about the places we visited and helped us appreciate the city’s history and culture. Our tour included Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Castle, the samurai residential district and Nomura Samurai House, and Higashi Chaya, the historic geisha district. We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful gardens, and exploring the castle and samurai houses was a highlight for me. Learning about how people lived and the culture of that time made these visits especially interesting. Higashi Chaya was also a very pleasant place to walk around, take in the atmosphere, and enjoy the traditional surroundings. The itinerary offered a lovely combination of history, culture, and beautiful scenery. Yogi’s warm hospitality and the information he shared made our day memorable. We felt very welcome and truly enjoyed having him introduce us to Kanazawa. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city. Thank you, Yogi, for giving us such a wonderful day!

“Amazing time in Takachiho Gorge with Katsu!”
We had a wonderful time with Katsu on our road trip to Takachiho Gorge. It was the perfect relaxed schedule that allowed for last minute changes and just amazing views and experiences. Special thanks to Katsu for securing a boat for us at Takachiho Gorge in advance of the trip (amazing he was able to do it!!) and being unflappable when my daughter had a (very unwarranted) panic attack over going near the volcano (thank you, Katsu!!). It was an absolutely lovely day - we couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend this tour and highly, highly recommend going with Katsu on it. You will have a wonderful time!
