“Top Choice for Exploring Kanazawa”
Hideo is an excellent guide! He answered all our questions and created a very complete itinerary with a great pace. We had plenty of time to visit temples, make stops to explore, and even do some shopping along the way. Hideo is very attentive, respectful, and kind — a wonderful guide and a great choice for a tour in Kanazawa.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. You showed the interest in kaga temari ball that parents gave their daughters who would marry into someone's family, so you got the beautiful ball. And 100% of gold leaf is produced in Kanazawa. You got the golden statue that protects your year of the Chinese zodiac. I'm sure you enjoy Japan trip. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness.
