Megumi was a wonderful guide. She was very friendly, had an incredible amount of knowledge, and a great way of sharing it. The tour was packed with interesting facts, fascinating stories, and local insights. I learned a lot and really enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend!

“Beautiful traditions of Kanazawa!”

Naoto is a great ambassador of his hometown Kanazawa. He is well spoken, thoughtful and very informative about the history and traditions of the Samurais, the Geishas and the feudal lords. The beauty of the Keroken Gardens was amazing and we enjoyed learning about the significance of the design and water and panorama view features. Very interesting enjoyable! Thank you!

“Kanazawa “Golden” Tour”

Six of us were all looking forward to this 6 1/2 hour tour but ended up being very disappointed with the day to the point where four of our six dropped out of the tour. Although our guide was a sweet little older gentlemen, who was supposed to be a certified in English speaking Guide, this tour proved to be too much for him. Hideo, our guide, was extremely difficult to understand and did not provide very much information about the various sites that we visited. The sites themselves were great, but we learned very little about each of them. We spent a lot of time waiting for transportation be it shuttles, buses, or taxis. It seemed as though this was Hideo’s first tour of this area. The gold leaf experience was a very enjoyable hands on activity that we all enjoyed, walking away with our own creation. Overall, the sites were well worth seeing and the gold leaf experience was well worth it but unfortunately, we all wanted to not just seeing the site but learn about them as well.

Thank you for your excellent review. We could enjoy pasting gold leaf experience. On the tour day so many tourists including your travelers from your cruise ship visited Kanazawa, so many sightseeing buses were very crowded with people. The bus is running evey 15 minutes, so depending on the timing, it takes some time to wait for the bus. Anyway I have to appologize you that you didn't feel learning so much from me, but I was going to show you as much information as I knew. For your information I already guide Kanazawa more than 20 times and get excellent review. I wish you and your friends good health and happiness. I hope to see you again in the future.
