“Wonderful day with Haru”

We had a fabulous day touring the Kanazawa area with Haru. She was very organized and made prior reservations for us to do activities that we really enjoyed. She is extremely sweet and has an excellent command of the English language. Haru went out of her way to make certain that we enjoyed our day. We very highly recommend her for your tour.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Diane! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the day and I did too. I look forward to seeing you again when you come back for another trip!

“A kind and attentive guide who made us feel welcome”

We spent one and a half days touring Kanazawa with Haru and truly appreciated her punctuality and sense of responsibility. When we arrived at our ryokan on the first day, she was already there waiting for us, which made us feel very welcomed and well taken care of. Haru was knowledgeable about the main sights, and she made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. Overall, it was a pleasant and enriching experience. We’re grateful both to Haru and to GoWithGuide for making this connection possible.

Thank you so much, Hans for your kind words. I enjoyed spending showing around Kanazawa to you and your wife. I hope you will come back to see other parts of the region in the future. Arigato gozaimasu!

“Money Very, Very Well Spent...”

We really can't say enough to recommend Raphael and his services as a guide to Kanazawa beyond saying it was one of the best decisions we made during our recent trip to Japan; Carol & I thank him from the bottom of our hearts! He was fun, knowledgeable, well-connected, personable, and an all-around interesting person to spend time with. His itinerary was curated, thoughtful, educational and designed to leave one with a tailored experience and deep appreciation for a truly wonderful city that's outside the typical Japanese city spotlight. We didn't realize it at the time, but Raphael's explanation of the role/influence of Maeda Toshiie paid huge dividends the rest of our trip and helped us connect many dots in our learning about Japan's history. And if spending 9+ hours with a fun guy learning about a fascinating city isn't enough, you can always ask Raphael about his views on coffee, izakayas, Japanese pancakes and Echizen cutlery -- as we did -- and he will deliver. Please do as we did and invest in a tour with Raphael. It will be a fond memory and money well spent.

Robin, Carol, Thank you SO much for this brilliant review. If I had wanted to write it for myself, I would not have done a better job. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you around, sharing some of Kanazawa's history, culture, arts, gastronomy and secrets & I am so glad you've truly enjoyed it! All the very best to you two! Hope to cross your paths again some day! Raphaël
