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.

Perfect - Yoshi was fantastic… He was so intent on giving us a wonderful experience… To see everything and understand everything. I particularly like traveling on the buses with him… That was a very local experience. I would highly recommend Yoshi to anybody.

Outstanding guide in Kanazawa - Yoshi was an amazing guide and enhanced our Kanazawa experience with his extensive knowledge of the city, history, culture, food, and more. He brought many things to life that we would not have experienced or understood on our own.

The perfect guide for Kanazawa. - Yoshi was fabulous and brought many things to life that we would not have experienced or understood on our own. He was knowledgeable, articulate, friendly and has a wonderful sense of humor. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kanazawa. Their visit, like ours, will be greatly enhanced with him as their guide.
