What Our Travelers Think

Grittin Apr 2025

We had the pleasure of having Rimiko san as our tour guide in Kanazawa. She is not only a professional and informative tour guide, but a kind, patient, and friendly person as well. While we did lot of walking and learning about the history of Kanazawa, she was always attentive to our desires. For a short 1-day trip, she did her best to help us get the most out of the city with perfect pace for our family of seven including two small kids. She also knows the best spots to get good photos for our memories and the pictures are a delight. I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting to see and experience Kanazawa. Thank you Rimiko san!

Sho was an amazing guide - he took a lot of great photos of us and showed us unique things about the sites we visited. Since he had background as an engineer, he made learning about the castle building really interesting!

The tour of Kanazawa was great! Mouri showed us many places and customized the tour to our liking. We were able to spend more time in the places we want and skip the areas we were not interested in. There is a lot of walking! So be prepared and wear good shoes!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
