“Beautiful city with an excellent guide!”

Hideo was a wonderful guide! He is amazingly kind and patient, and very thoughtful. He is extremely knowledgeable, and made seeing Kanazawa very easy. Having a native Japanese speaker with us was incredibly valuable, and his English is very good. He was so nice that after our tour was over he even escorted us to a fantastic sushi restaurant, and then returned to make sure that we understood how to order. I recommend Hideo for anyone that needs a tour guide, he is great!

You are wonderful guests and I'm very glad to receive your excellent review. I'm sure you enjoyed Kanazawa culture such as gold leaf, Geiko and Maiko house (a little Kyoto), Kenrokuen Garden (one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan), and Samurai house. Luckily we could see early bloomers of cherries. I hope you enjoy Japan trip.
