Very interesting and enjoyable visit to the history and sites of Kanazawa during the cherry blossom season. - Sachiko showed us all of the sites we wanted to see in Kanazawa. The samurai and geisha districts are well preserved and provide a brilliant look into the interesting history of the city and Japan. Sachiko constantly checked that she was showing and explaining what was interesting to us and moving at a pace we were comfortable with. The castle and the gardens were spectacular with the abundance of cherry blossom.

Great day in Kanazawa - I am in Kanazawa with three of my girlfriends. We had an amazing tour today with Kenzo including the park filled with cherry blossoms, the geisha district and the samurai district. He gave us so much historical information and also provided us with lots of interesting information on current everyday Japanese life. He was an excellent tour guide.

Fabulous artisan tour of Kanazawa - Nozomi-san gave me a wonderful culture tour of Kanazawa. She is so knowledgable and I learned a lot from her. As well as visiting the gardens and the geisha district, we visited a parasol maker and learned about her incredible craft. Nozomi-san took me to the best places to see the work of Kanazawa artisans, places I would not have known to go to without her. My tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan! Cannot recommend highly enough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

An Unforgettable Kanazawa Experience with Ian Walker & Kanazawa Tours - We had the most wonderful day on our tour, truly one of the highlights of our trip.
A very special thank you to our fantastic guides
Ian Walker from Kanazawa Tours, whose knowledge, warmth and attention to detail made the entire experience so enjoyable and seamless.
We started with a beautiful gold leaf experience, creating our own trinket box, which was such a unique and special activity. From there, we explored the charming geisha district, enjoyed a gold leaf sakura cherry blossom ice cream (which was absolutely delicious!) and were lucky enough to see stunning cherry blossoms along the way.
Lunch was lovely (I had a delicious seafood meal), and the day just kept getting better. Visiting Kanazawa Castle and the gardens was unforgettable easily some of the most beautiful gardens we’ve seen in Japan.
To finish, we went to Morihachi, a historic confectionery that’s been around for over 400 years, where we made traditional Japanese sweets — such a memorable and authentic experience.
The entire day was perfectly planned and so enjoyable from start to finish. We truly loved every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kanazawa!

Delightful Day in Kanazawa - Great overview of Kanazawa with Kenzo! He was flexible and helped rearrange the itinerary so that we could bring lunch to my injured husband. What a delightful day. Thank you, Kenzo.
