Kanazawa Private Car Tours

“Awesome Guide!”

Having Yoji as our guide in Kanazawa was the best decision we made on this trip! My family and I was a group of 6 and were fortunate enough to have Yoji show us around the city. He was so accommodating, patient, caring, and informative. Originally the tour was a walking tour but we requested a private car and Yoji made it happen. We were able to fit in all the destinations we wanted to see and although it was a packed day, we did not feel rushed at all. Coming into Kanazawa, we did not have have much expectations and Yoji made this trip memorable. He walked with us to each site, gave us the history and info about each place, but also never once rushed us. He ate with us, he made reservations for dinner for us, gave us recommendations, I can go on and on. He understood what my family liked and did his best to accommodate us. He even found a local sushi restaurant to accommodate our group because we wanted a sit-down place to eat. At the market, we tried the fresh scallops -- it was soooooo delicious. He even bought us some fried puffer fish to try and paid it out of his own pocket. These were items we would have never tried had it not been for his suggestion. My 5 star review is just another of the same because how can anyone give him anything less? He is simply the best. Yoji, thank you so much for taking the time to show my family and I around your city. Thank you also for your kindness in helping us around the train station! We wish you and your family the best in your next endeavors!

Debbie san, Thank you so much for such a kind and heartfelt review. It truly means a lot to me. I had a wonderful time as well and genuinely enjoyed every moment we shared. First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit Kanazawa, and for choosing me as your guide. Just reading your comments fills me with gratitude and reminds me how rewarding this job can be. If the tour became even a small part of your memorable experience, that makes me incredibly happy. Thank you again for giving me such a precious opportunity. Kind regards, Yoji

“Great day visiting Shirakawago”

Yoji was not only extremely knowledgeable of the area, but he is a super nice guy and seems to really understand what his clients are looking for in the tour. He is flexible with schedule and helped us to navigate the train system, actually stopping by the station with us and helping get the right tickets for the rest of our visit. Highly recommend Yoji.

“A worthwhile and scenic excursion from Kanazawa”

If you are visiting Kanazawa and wish to take the scenic excursion to Shirakawa-go and Takayama, I can think of no better first step than making contact with Yoji. Yoji proved not only knowledgeable, but highly personable. Since there were six of us in our group, seven with Yoji, a rental car was required. Yoji facilitated this arrangement as well as setting an itinerary for us that was both full and flexible. We never felt rushed and Yoji was always willing to make adjustments. His choices for street food, ice cream and ramen were all spot on. Conversationally, Yoji is affable and open, with a depth of interests and experiences to draw from and his command of the English language is excellent. There are other guides you may choose in the Kanazawa area. Some may be less expensive. I can't speak to the others, I can only speak to my family's experience with Yoji and collectively give him our highest endorsement. This was money well spent and an experience well worth having.
