“Our guide Reiko-san was the highlight of the tour — her deep knowledge of Kanazawa and samurai history, plus her own samurai ancestry, made the experience truly memorable. She was flexible with our itinerary and passionate in her storytelling.”
“We started our Kanazawa trip with this tour, and our guide Yumiko was fantastic. She communicated well ahead of time, customized the itinerary to our preferences, and even found a lunch spot that accommodated our shellfish allergy. Highly recommended!”
