Wonderful tour
"We had a wonderful tour with Yogi last week. His English was excellent and so we had no problem communicating. It was so helpful to have someone to guide us around and answer all our questions. Our mistake was to arrange the tour towards the end of our time in Kanazawa rather than at the beginning. "

Relaxed, fun bop around with Yoji San
"Wonderful morning tour in Kanazawa with Yoji! He is knowledgeable about the cultural history of the area and he was warm and friendly. We enjoyed his company and learned quite a bit on our bop around from the Geisha districts, to gardens, to the Samurai residence and in between. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy his city, even helping us make a reservation at a big deal restaurant in the area. We highly recommend choosing Yoji San as your local guide for lovely Kanazawa."

Thank You, Lucy!
"We spent a full day with Lucy exploring Kanazawa. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and super accommodating (which was particularly important because we were traveling with an infant). I also loved hearing about her experience living as an expat in Kanazawa - highly recommend!"
