Kanazawa Tour Reviews
“Great Day with Yoji in Kanazawa”
We were guided by Yoji today. Our first stop was Kenrokuen Garden and Castle. It was lovely garden - one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. A special highlight was seeing an eagle/kite bathing in a stream. It was a very special moment, and Yoji said he had never seen it before. The castle was very beautiful. After the garden and castle, we visited the samurai district, had lunch, and then visited the geisha district. Everything was serene, not crowded, and quite a change from what we have seen in the more populous Tokyo, Osaka, etc. We can highly recommend Kanazawa. We can especially recommend Yoji, who was knowledgeable, active, and kind. He organised the tour such that we were able to complete the tour despite the terrible heat. Thank you Yoji! We appreciate everything you did for us!

Yoji is a great guide, his English is fantastic and he knows a lot of the local history. It was a pleasure spending half a day together to see the sights and he was very helpful afterwards as well for the remainder of our stay.
