Kanazawa Højdepunkter: Have, Slot, Samurai & Geisha + Taxi

Very nice tour, Yasushi the guide an excellent guide, hes very friendly, he told us all the information amazing, he’s always checking up on everyone of us worrying about if everything is alright. He explained us every detail and all the information required in a very fun way, with quizs, comparations, histories… We went to Kanazawa garden where he told us every detail and the history from the origin, then we went to the district, we saw it all and had time to see how gold leafs were made and try ice creams with gold leafs. Definitely 10/10 experience completely recommended.

My hotel is not far from these attractions. But I decided to take a tour to safe some times. Yasushi is our tour guide. He’s amazing. He’s very informative and he knows the stories and history well. He’s very funny too. He did an amazing job. We visited the garden, the geisha town. He showed us where to have the gold leafs ice cream. He even brought us to the shop where the gold leafs were made. I was impressed. Thank you very much Yasushi.

1. We love the visit in the Kanasawa Park Kenroku-en park, the tour guide took time to explain the history, and the art, philosophy for us. 2. We went to the icecream place with the gold leaf of 1 um thick. Very nice experience. 3. We went to see how they made the gold leaf. And very good skills. Wonderful experience!

Yasushi was a fantastic guide and made our experience exploring Kanazawa very memorable and exciting. We enjoyed exploring the gardens and Geisha district. The walking tour also stopped at a gold leaf making studio — very neat to see the artists at work and learning about the heritage of this craft. Yasushi brought a great energy to the tour and is so knowledgeable. Thanks for an incredible Kanazawa tour! Looking forward to our next visit.

A huge thank you to Yasushi for giving us one of the best experiences of our trip to Japan! We were fortunate to have Yasushi as our private guide for the day, and the tour was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome and ensured that every moment was enjoyable, interesting, and perfectly organized. Yasushi's knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and local traditions was truly impressive. He shared fascinating stories and insights that brought every location to life, and he was always happy to answer our questions with patience and enthusiasm. What made the experience truly special was Yasushi himself. He was incredibly kind, professional, funny, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best possible day. The tour never felt rushed, and he adapted it perfectly to our interests. It felt like spending the day with a good friend who happened to know everything about the places we visited. Without a doubt, this was one of the highlights of our entire Japan trip. We cannot recommend Yasushi highly enough. If you have the opportunity to book a tour with him, do it—you won't regret it. Thank you, Yasushi, for an unforgettable day and for creating memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Book this tour! Yasushi was incredibly knowledgeable with the perfect amount of history and explanation. Great pace, and thank you for the taxi ride between districts. Thank you Yasushi for helping us appreciate Kanazawa and its beautiful history.

It was so amazing yasushi was an awesome tour guide. He kept a perfect pace and we stopped to take breaks just enough that I never felt too overwhelmed by the heat. He is so passionate about Kanazawa and I feel like I learned so much from him. I would 100% recommend taking a walking tour with him!

Title: A Passionate Local Guide Who Made Kanazawa We don’t usually join walking tours because we normally prefer exploring on our own. However, joining Yasushi’s tour turned out to be one of the best decisions we made in Kanazawa. As a Kanazawa native and former teacher, he combines deep historical knowledge with the ability to explain complex topics in a clear and interesting way. Throughout the tour, he shared not only the history of Kenroku-en, Kanazawa Castle, the Samurai District, and the Higashi Chaya District, but also many stories about everyday Japanese culture, traditions, and modern society. Those insights made the experience much richer than simply walking through these beautiful places on our own. What impressed us most was his enthusiasm. He genuinely loves his city, and that passion is contagious. He encouraged questions, happily answered every one of them, and even stayed longer than the scheduled tour to make sure we could fully enjoy each stop. The tour never felt rushed despite covering so many places. Our family especially appreciated how engaging he was with our son. He kept him interested throughout the afternoon with fascinating stories and historical details, which is not an easy thing to do. By the end of the tour, we didn’t just feel that we had visited Kanazawa—we felt that we had come to understand it. Thank you, Yasushi, for making our visit so enjoyable and unforgettable. We would recommend your tour without hesitation.

It was an amazing trip with yasushi and I got to see a lot of cool things and learned a lot from the castle walk and yasushi was super energetic and good at answering any questions.

Yasushi was an excellent guide for our tour of Kanazawa. He was very knowledgeable and gave us detailed explanations about the city’s history, culture, architecture, and local traditions. We learned a great deal from him throughout the tour. Our children especially enjoyed listening to his stories and explanations, which made the tour interesting for the whole family.
