Kanazawa Private Tour Guides

“Great time in Kanazawa”

We enjoyed a great day in Kanazawa with Yosie! Yosie tailored the tour perfectly to our wishes and guided us through the city always considering our needs. We were very impressed by her great english skills and deep knowledge about the area and about a broad range of topics we discussed and very much enjoyed her friendly personality.

“A very full day with an excellent historian and storyteller”

Lee really knows his stuff and has a good time showing those lucky enough to have him as a guide around the Kanazawa area. His banter is easy, articulate, and very well informed. He was on time and helpful with other arrangements we were making along our trip which was above and beyond what one might expect. From the geisha village, to the Maeda shrine, a samurai home as well as that of a foot soldier, he made the stories of life in that era his passion and it comes through. We not only learned a lot about the area, but we laughed a lot as we learned. Try Lee out, you will not be disappointed.

“Amazing guide!”

We had the most wonderful day in Kanazawa with Yoji. His English was exceptional and his knowledge extraordinary. We had booked him for 7.5 hours and were worried it would be too long, but the day flew by. Yoji just strolled around the city taking us through the castle, the amazing gardens, the best coffee so far in Japan and we finally found examples of the no nails building techniques, which are just brilliant. Through the Geisha district, then the Samurai district, viewing original Samurai homes from a foot solider to the head of Samurai armies. He took us to a local soba noodle restaurant for an amazing lunch, plus a lot of fascinating little shops that you would normally disregard or walk by. It was the most memorable day, made so by a wonderful human, that has given us an insight into the Japanese culture, both past and present that will remain with us for a long time. The weather was also perfect, so a beautiful way to bring our Japanese holiday to a close.
