We loved the tour, it was exactly what we were looking for. Dodging the main tourist stream, but still soaking up the full experience! A lot of insights of the city, culture and history.

Yuzuki is a fabulous guide. He found out beforehand our interests and what sights we had already seen in Kanazawa and planned our tour accordingly. We visited the Higashi Chayamachi District but on the way Yuzuki introduced us to some delightful hidden gems away from the crowds. We enjoyed learning about the area as well as other aspects of Japanese culture. Yuzuki is very knowledgeable and his command of the English is excellent.

Excellent walk through downtown Kanazawa with Mouri. He showed us some special locations for the fall colors and brought us to some hidden spots along the way. I do think some hidden food spots would have been a great addition, it's hard to fit in eating and sightseeing into a 4 hour window. My recommendation to City Unscripted would be to add another hour or so to incorporate an authentic lunch option.
