My reviews

    We went to the fish market and I tried several snack's and a local beer. I really liked the street food and that it were different animals and cooking method's, that was great so I didn't eat the same cooking method. I liked the explanation of the geishas and the guide and also the golden leaf ice cream. My guide was well informed about the history and explained it well and tried to get it interesting. The Samurai home whit the tee was great, was the first time driving that Macha Tee. The Kanazawa Hot Dogs

    Our family of four enjoyed seeing some of the sites and learning about history or significance of the sites. We didn’t feel rushed and appreciated some of Akari’s recommendations about restaurants and other sites to visit during our visit. I would definitely recommend a tour with Akari!

    Akari was a great guide, super responsive and helpful when planning the itinerary, and knowledgable when we were on the tour. She even helped us make lunch reservations afterwards to ensure we had a wonderful time in Kanazawa.

    Akari is very knowledgeable about Kanazawa and was able to impart that knowledge very effectively so we learnt a lot about the city.
