Great Tour Highly Recommended - Very good tour. It was a rainy day. Yumiko was an excellent tour guide. We negotiated the weather without a problem. Moreover, when we visited Kenroku garden, she explained the meaning of the garden so that even I, who knows nothing of Japanese gardens, could appreciate this work of art. Please book Yumiko. She is excellent

Great family visit to Kanazawa - Excellent time exploring Kanazawa and learning its history with our guide, Yoshi-san. Getting around the city was easy with him as our guide and he took us to the tea house districts, the Myouryuji temple, and Kanazawa castle. He taught us about the local culture, as well as how Kanazawa came to be and why it flourished as a hub of culture. He als recommended a lot of activities and food for us to try

Powerful overview of Kanazawa - This was the second time that I did a tour with Yoshiさん. It was just as exceptionally executed as the first tour! Yoshiさん ably demonstrated his knowledge of Kanazawa history and made my friend and I really appreciate the place we were visiting. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Yoshiさん.

Kanazawa with tour guide Yoshi - Worth every penny! This tour was a game changer because one thing is seeing the temples, castle and garden but with this tour you learn that there is so much more behind it. Our guide was Yoshi and we are extremely greatful with him, he explained us everything in detail, responded doubts about the places we visited and even a little about japanese culture in general. He was very polite, friendly and in the best mood so we could learn about the places we saw. My wife and I couldn't be happier with Yoshi.

A visit in Kanasawa - We had a very enjoyable day with Yoshi, examining Kanasawa’s castle and garden, geisha and samurai homes. Yoshi was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. The length of the tour was a bit long for us seniors, considering the amount of walking and stairs!

Lovely City Tour - The 4 places we selected to visit were great, well worth seeing. The tour took up nearly the whole 6 hours, time well spent. We had to take 5 buses which saved time and walking, but discovered later that we could have purchased a 24 hour/day ticket a bit cheaper and still had rest of the day to utilise it.
