The natural rock formations at Natadera Temple have been revered as a sacred place for well over 2,000 years. The cliffs and caves were shaped by volcanic eruptions and eroded by ocean currents. They tower above the temple’s mossy forests, traditional-style gardens, and carp-filled ponds, earning Natadera a star in the Michelin Green Guide.

Amazing tour with incredible photos

We had the pleasure of having TK as our tour guide in Kanazawa. He is not only an excellent tour guide, but also a top-notch professional photographer who is kind, patient, and friendly. While we did a lot of walking and exploring sites around the city, TK always guided us good spots for him to take photos for our memories. We are very delighted with the finished products as they all look truly incredible photographs. We are impressed with the quality of all photos. We wouldn't be able to produce photos of such high quality by ourselves. But thanks to TK, these incredible photos are made possible. For a short 1-day trip, TK did his best to help us get the most of the city with perfect pace for our family of 7 including 2 small children. TK was attentive to our wants and needs and is someone you can talk to on any topic as well, an absolutely nice person. For anyone going to Kanazawa and wanting a trip a bit out of the ordinary with amazing photographs as souvenirs, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. And we will definitely book a tour with TK again when we revisit Kanazawa in the future.

Amazing tour

We were very happy with this tour. The itinerary was very good. It covered mostly places that are less visited by tourists. We especially like Natadera Temple where the scenery was so breathtaking and the ambiance was so serene. The temple is definitely one of the most beautiful places we've ever visited in Japan. If you're looking for less crowded tourist places in Ishikawa, I highly recommend this tour. We also had the pleasure of having TK as our guide and also a professional photographer who is kind, patient and friendly. While we did a lot of walking around tourist sites, TK always guided us good spots for him to shoot good photos for our memories, and we were delighted with the finished products as they all look truly incredible photographs.

TK was attentive to our wants and needs and is someone you can talk to on any topic as well. an absolutely nice person. Though the weather made the trip difficult, TK did his best to accommodate everyone's needs, he took care of us to make sure we had fun and covered all the sites in the itinerary. His vehicle is new and very clean. He drives very smoothly and made the journey comfortable. For anyone going to Kanazawa and wanting a trip a bit out of the ordinary with amazing photographs as souvenirs, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
