A great overview of the sights and history of Kanazawa - Despite the bad weather (cold and raining) we very much enjoyed our day exploring the sights of Kanazawa with Sho. He took us to a number of interesting places (small museums, historical districts, houses and shrines, craft workshops) we would never have found by ourselves. He provided a lot of background information and history, and also took many photos of us which he made available to us after the tour via his online drive.

Kanazawa Private Tour - Shoten, thank you for a wonderful experience touring Kanazawa and the great memories you have created for our family. We appreciated your knowledge, professionalism, how you adapted to our Australian sense of humour and the great photography. Ending the tour with the world-famous Kanazawa golden ice cream was a hit with the kids. All in all a fun day and a great way to appreciate the beauty, history and culture of Kanazawa.

Family fun in the rain. - We were in Kanazawa on a very rainy day. Sho was a great guide. He planned a tour for us that met our needs and interests, and took us to an excellent restaurant for lunch. We enjoyed our day very much.

Amazing tour - We could get a taste of Kanazawa and its beauties with our guide, Shoten, who showed us and explained Japanese culture. He organized a fantastic lunch where we discovered Yuba! Without a doubt, the experience with the guide enriched our trip! Thanks Shoten. Adriana and family

Interesting, pleasant and comprehensive tour with Yoshi - Hideharu Yoshino, our guide was helpful knowledgeable and caring. He made early contact to clarify our needs. He followed these since when we met. In addition to clear information at the objects, it was interesting to also talk generally about how it is in Japan. He helped us with ticket purchases to Shinkansen. He took us to a real local place for lunch. The tour we perceived as comprehensive.

The Best Day! - We had such a fun time with Yoshi and loved our day in Kanazawa, where there's so much to see and do. We saw the beautiful Kenrokuen garden, Kanazawa Castle park, the teahouse district and the Oyama jinja shrine. He went out of his way to find the most delicious sushi restaurant for us and we definitely enjoyed choosing artisanal soy sauce from the place that makes it. Yoshi is an expert guide and he and our driver took such good care of us. It was just the perfect day in Japan.

Beautiful Kanazawa - Yoshi was a marvelous guide! His knowledge of the history, culture and area was exceptional. We were a bit delayed in departing the cruise terminal, as Yoshi was waiting in the terminal, but had no sign indicating my name or that he was with Japan Guide Agency. We spent a good bit of time, each thinking the other was delayed. Once we were underway, the tour was excellent.

Great Guide and A Day to Remember - We greatly enjoyed our time in the Kenrokuen Garden. It was a beautiful, peaceful place. My wife is a gardener and found it fascinating. If you are a gardener, it's something you should not miss. I enjoyed the tour of Kanazawa Castle, it is being reconstructed and will be awesome when complete. If you go there wear slip-on shoes. Throughout, Yoshi provided knowledgeable and interesting commentary about sites in Kanazawa and living in Japan in general. He is easy-going and he fielded our many questions easily. He adjusted the schedule to meet our interests. It was a relaxing day, but you cover a lot of ground.
