Thank you for a wonderful start to my day. It was an amazing tour and I particularly liked our stop at the Omicho market and the variety of food tastes chosen by our thoughtful guide Sachiko. This market was alive with people, scents and tastes - Sachiko pointed out local vegetables and fish along the way . The geisha district was also fascinating and our visit to the gold leaf artisan workshop was inspiring. Thank you to the Hughes family as well for making this experience so memorable. I thoroughly recommend this tour.
Great value and excellent guide

This was a nice paced introductory tour being guided through the Omicho market and into the Higashi Chaya region. Our wonderful guide, Kenzo selected some regional foods for us to try in the Omicho market (great selection Kenzo) and we even got to try some Fugu (puffer fish). Along the way we learned a little history and some geography. We finished in Higashi Chaya which allowed us some time to explore on our own. I was hoping to try some of the local crab and thought we would be making our own selections but I understand why this would be too difficult for the guide to manage several different people all on their own shopping spree. Definitely start your Kanazawa trip here as it will help you to learn what you will search for in the restaurants during your stay.
Flavorful roadmap !

This morning we met with Ian, next to the Mister donut, easy meeting point and start of the tour, we quickly enter the market and get a look around the different food available there, Ian is really insightful and makes it really enjoyable! We tried different sashimi and some delicious pork, we continue our trip to the Geisha district and again Ian gives us plenty of detail about the history of the place. We finished by a gold leaf producer, really nice cherry on the top of this tour ! Thank you Ian for this great moment 😄
More than a normal food tour!

Saya was the best!! She showed us so much around Kanazawa, so much more than we had expected. First stop we had a lot of fresh sashimi and good food at the Omicho market, and then a quick snack on the way to the Historic Chaya district, where Saya shared a lot of history about the geisha tradition and also the Shinto religion. We had a lot of fun and regret that we didn’t do this T the start of our trip in Kanazawa so we know what to eat for the rest of our time here!
Fun and interesting food tour
