Selda, our guide was personable and provided good insights into the culture and customs of the people in Kanazawa and other locations in Japan. She took time to answer our questions, and to explain local customs. We were able to have a good exchange of ideas during our time together and we shared information about our backgrounds, which made the tour feel very personal.
