A Perfect Way to Start your Kanazawa Trip
Yuzuki was an excellent guide. Warm and personable and very knowledgeable. He shared many little nuggets of information about the trees and statues in the garden, the Geisha, their homes, the Samurai and the prominent families that shaped Kanazawa.

Akari truly made my visit in Kanazawa special. She quickly understood my interests and adjusted our walk through in most enjoyable way. She has great knowledge of Japanese history and culture and it was a pleasure to learn from her. Our communication was flawless too. Even after the tour was over Akari went to the trouble make dinner reservation for me. She is simply the best!
