It was wonderful having Natsuko as our food guide in Kanazawa! She has lived there her whole life and was an excellent historian. She took the time to get to know us beforehand and chose the best restaurant to share local foods. Spending time with Natsuko was a joy - she felt like an old friend! We highly recommend this experience as it allowed us to know the city on a much deeper level.
