“Kanazawa: A great destination with an excellent guide”

The one-day tour of Kanazawa with Yoji K. is an excellent way to see the city's historical treasures. Kanazawa may not receive the same amount of press as Kyoto, but its historical sites are remarkably well-maintained. Because the major attractions are all within walking distance of each other, it is easy to see a lot of the city in a single day. In our opinion, the sites here are just as impressive as those in other major tourist destinations.Yoji is a knowledgeable and professional guide who shares interesting historical context at each stop along the way. In addition to the sightseeing, he introduced us to great local restaurants, including an excellent spot in the fish market to try the local seafood. He also provided helpful recommendations for other towns on our itinerary, one of which ended up being our favorite stop of our entire trip.

“Amazing guide!”

We had the most wonderful day in Kanazawa with Yoji. His English was exceptional and his knowledge extraordinary. We had booked him for 7.5 hours and were worried it would be too long, but the day flew by. Yoji just strolled around the city taking us through the castle, the amazing gardens, the best coffee so far in Japan and we finally found examples of the no nails building techniques, which are just brilliant. Through the Geisha district, then the Samurai district, viewing original Samurai homes from a foot solider to the head of Samurai armies. He took us to a local soba noodle restaurant for an amazing lunch, plus a lot of fascinating little shops that you would normally disregard or walk by. It was the most memorable day, made so by a wonderful human, that has given us an insight into the Japanese culture, both past and present that will remain with us for a long time. The weather was also perfect, so a beautiful way to bring our Japanese holiday to a close.

My group and I hired Yoji for three separate tours had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Kanazawa and area with him as our guide. His English is flawless and he is attentive, thoughtful and knowledgeable about his city.

We felt completely taken care of and came away with a much deeper appreciation for Kanazawa. Five stars without hesitation. I am crossing my fingers to tour with him again!
