We had such a great day with Megumi! She showed us around all the areas of Kanazawa we wanted to see, found us fantastic food, and was a delight to simply spend time with chatting and laughing. She took such good care of us and was always checking in to make sure we were doing well and had what we needed. We couldn’t be happier with the day. Thanks Megumi!

Megumi was delightful. We learnt new ways of sampling market food in the market. Her explanations of the Geiko area helped us understand this part of Japanese culture.
