Amazing morning in Kanazawa!

Published on Jun, 2024

Our expert guide Hideo was a great source of knowledge about Kanazawa from explaining the buses/trams we needed to catch to talking about the feudal system, architecture and the buildings of historic interest in an engaging and descriptive way. We would have loved a full day tour, but my partner was still recovering from foot surgery. A huge thanks to Hideo and Japanawaits for providing a day that we will never forget!

Magnifecent

Published on May, 2024

Hirano was the best guide ever !!! She was very knowledgeable and as a local she gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip that were really helpful. We loved having her and spending our tour with her. She even stayed longer with us because she enjoys her work. Recommended for sure.

Kanazawa half day tour with Harumi

Published on Mar, 2024

Our tour guide was Harumi. We had a great experience in spite of the rainy conditions. Harumi was very professional and knowledgeable, and went the extra mile to accommodate us, was fluent in English as well as Spanish. We loved the sites and the interaction with her. We would highly recommend the tour and Harumi as a guide.
