Akari was super nice and accommodating. She gave us many tips and walked us to some beautiful hidden corners while giving us lots of information about the area and its history.

I was skeptical at first as I had already walked around and seen a few sights but the inside knowledge of Kanazawa along with many experiences you cannot do yourself. I would not hesitate to book this type of experience in any city I went to. Kanazawa is a favourite after going to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

Yuzuki was a highly knowledgable guide, not just with Kanazawa, but also with Japans history overall. He was able to show me places Off of the beaten path, that I would never have found on my own! I will book again the next time I am back in Kanazawa!
