Kanazawa through a local lens
loyrirkt, October 2026
Excellent tour! Our tour guide Sachiko-san is a Kanazawa native and was a great ambassador for her city. We had a very pleasant day strolling through gardens and historic districts while learning so much about the city and local history. Highlights included seeing the garden in a samurai house and watching a gold leaf artisan cutting a sheet of gold leaf. Highly recommend!

A memorable day in Kanazawa
Navigate07742080543, October 2026
We booked a full day tour of Kanazawa. The tour was great; we did not only see most interesting historical sites of the city, but had also the opportunity to meet local artists and see how they work. This was complemented by the experienced guidance of Nozomi Kondo-san, who provided lots of valuable information. Nozomi-san's knowledge about all things related to Kanazawa and her kind personality made this day a truly memorable experience. We are looking forward to come back to this beautiful place in the not too distant future.

Amazing day with sachiko
291matts291, October 2026
Sachiko was amazing. She is friendly, knowledgeable, fluent in English and just a lovely person to spend the day with. Our visit with Ohi (toshio Ohi chizaemon) was the best 90 minutes of our vacation. The geisha and the Kimono tours also well worth it. Learned a lot today. Thank you Sachiko.
