A Full day tour to SHIRAKAWAGO & Old town,TAKAYAMA And Kanazawa City-Tour

We have a wonderful holiday in Kanazawa thanks to Yoji-san, his attention is beyond our expectations, he even cared for us the day before and after his booked tour and he helped us and suggested the best way to Kanazawa and to our next destination, he even droved us to find stores for our grandchildren’s needs and facial for my wife and translated and explained to my wife which not included in tour. His knowledge on local food is outstanding we loved all the restaurants he recommended. Most importantly being a local in Kanazawa gave us more information about Kanazawa than official information. We noticed his personality is very amiable and knows lots of people in Kanazawa. We really enjoyed our time with Yoji-san and felt he is our friend than just a local guide.

A MUST WHEN VISITING KANAZAWA

This tour was more than we expected! Raphael is an excellent person and knows a lot about the culture and main landmarks of Kanazawa. He took us to the best hidden gems and made sure that everyone in our group was satisfied with their visit. We took this tour with my 70 year old mom and aunt. He was extremely patient and made the necessary alterations to the itinerary so that they could as well get the best of the tour even if they couldn't make the hike. He has great recommendations about local crafts and I would definitely book this experience again in the future since this city was one of our favorites :) maybe even thanks to Raphael's guidance! Thank you Raphael for your patience :) see you soon!!
