Our tour guide Tomoko was wonderful. So knowledgeable of the area and took her time to walk at our pace and answer all of our questions. She was able to engage our teenage daughters and really bring the history of Kanazawa to life for them - pointing out so many aspects and details we would have missed. She kindly brought us to some shops and the best place for lunch. We highly recommend the tour & Tomoko!

Masayo is more than I’ve could have asked for. She was super supportive with all my wishes and she adapted all places which I wanted to visit. She almost knows everyone in Kanazawa, which is great as the locals recognize her and obe time we could enter a Geisha house eventhough it was closing in 5min… She also took a lit of pictures of me with my phone so i could upload them on my instagram. She loved it to support. She has a great knowledge of all the places we’ve visited. I highly recommend a Kanazawa tour with her! Much love, Sandra
