picked us up in our hotel and made the 3h of the tour fly by. Harumi showed us a lot of Kanazawa’s sights (well known and hidden), explained us the context and shared valuable insights you could hardly find as a tourist exploring on your own. Apart from her knowledge, it was fun to spend time with Harumi who shared as well some insights of Japanese everyday’s life today with us. Harumi even helped us in a pharmacy when the 3 h were over. As non-native English speakers we were happy and relieved that Harumi’s English was excellent. All in all we enjoyed the splendid tour and the time we spent with her and we highly recommend Harumi as a tour guide!
