Unforgettable Kanazawa - The walking tour of Kanazawa with Yasushi was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Japan. He was very polite, courteous, knowledgeable and had a very good pace for the group. He was very kind to always check on us and make sure everyone in the group was having a good time. On top of that, his insights and tidbits of Japan and Kanazawa are something I will not forget. Please book Yasushi through Japan Panoramic Tours if you’re in Kanazawa. Highly recommend :)

This tour delivered - An awesome day seeing the beautiful sites in Kanazawa. Our guide, Yasushi, was super friendly and knowledgeable, he even kept the kids intrigued across the whole tour period. Kanazawa is an incredibly beautiful place - I honestly felt like crying walking through Kenrokuen - a wonderful blend of tradition, artistry and wonder. This tour delivered.

Don’t miss this tour!!! Best tour! - Yasushi is GREAT! We walked through all kinds of locations and learned a lot, and even ate a little bit in the market. English is also very hard to come by in Japan, but his English is flawless and very understandable! Don’t miss this tour!

A walking tour with Yasushi - Yasushi is knowledgable, fun and vibrant. Excellent tour to the heart of Kanazawa. A suggestion would be to add the samurai quarter as well to the splendid tour
