“Kanazawa with a local/world traveler”
Yoji gave us a fantastic experience touring Kanazawa at the height of cherry blossom season. He taught us about the places and their history and guided us effortlessly through the park, the samurai district and the geisha district, but also provided us answers to all of our questions about living in this region and in Japan. Since he has lived in many different countries before he came back to be near his family, he had interesting perspectives, including having spent number of years in the United States. Even before we came to visit, he called local restaurant on our behalf and made a reservation and made other great suggestions. The visit simply would not have been as wonderful without him. Highly recommended.

“Kanazawa on day two in Japan”
Yoji, Was just delightful, a very intelligent man with a great understanding of his town. Also, very adept at given is opinions and thoughts to some out of the ordinary question we asked. Took us to the very places we wanted to see and a very quant restaurant that the locals would eat at for one of the best meals we had on your trip. Also, a recommendation for some Kobe beef at a nearby restaurant by our hotel was just brilliant. In summary couldn't have been better Five stars *****
