Fantastic Kanazawa Guide

We planned a 1/2 day guided walk in Kanazawa and lucked out! Yoji was not only an excellent guide for this ancient city and its most interesting sites, but also a resource for small and unique local shops and special restaurants (that we visited and loved!). Our time with Yogi expanded on day 1 and we hired him for a second half day. Thank you Yogi for sharing your knowledge of this charming city and all of its special places. We didn’t want to leave! Carey & Susan

Carey B.

Thank you very much for such a great review and comment. I’m very pleased that you enjoyed Japanese curry as lunch and the restaurant I suggest for dinner! I knew you love the food!! It was like yesterday. I enjoyed and chatting with both of you during the tour. Please recommend Kanazawa to any friends who are planning to come to Japan^_^
