5.00A very fun and interesting tour with excellent explanations and stories that summarize Kanazawa people Life . As a local , Kazuko the guide knows some unique little stories that add a lot of charm to the walk. We all know the poor level of English among the Japanese, but Kazuko speaks perfect English , easy to understand , perhaps because she lived abroad for a few years. She knows how to adapt to different speakers and always finds good answers.

5.00I had a truly enjoyable experience during the Kanazawa tour on December 20, 2025. This time, we visited the stunning Kenrokuen Garden and the historic Kanazawa Castle, both of which were absolutely beautiful and rich in history. Walking through these iconic sites gave me a deeper appreciation of Kanazawa’s culture and heritage. Our guide, Kaz T, was once again exceptional. She was very knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and patiently answered all of my questions. Her insights made the visit more meaningful, and I learned a lot throughout the tour. The tour was both informative and enjoyable, and I highly recommend Kaz T to anyone exploring Kanazawa. Kudos to her for such a well-guided and memorable experience!
