Visite en voiture d'une journée complète à Noto (voiture privée)

We enjoyed a full day trip from Kanazawa to the Noto Peninsula with driver Takeshi-san. He was an excellent guide and took us to see some very interesting sights, such as terraced rice fields, a local market and a salt farm. We enjoyed a beautiful seafood lunch, some good music and a drive along the beach. But most of all we got an understanding of the effects of the devastating earthquake that hit the Noto area two years ago and how huge and ongoing the reconstruction works are. Thank you Takeshi-san!

It was really pleasant. Our driver/guide Junki was very friendly, considerate, and attentive. Highlights of the day were the drive along Chirihama and the boat ride at Ganmon; very impressive.

Stunning views, traditional crafts, and rich culture were fascinating. Our guide was fantastic, personalized the tour perfectly. Every corner of this area has something special.

We had a wonderful time with our guide and driver, Nori. The rice terraces, salt farm, and driving on the beach were all memorable experiences. This is a wonderful "deep cut" that shows a part of Japan that many tourists never get to see - I highly recommend it.

Noto peninsula is a beautiful area! our guide/driver Mai was great as well. Unfortunately, it was raining a lot during our tour and this impacted some of the activities we could do- mostly the salt farm since they require sunny days for the salt making process. Customer service was top notch when I mentioned we were unable to experience the full tour. Despite this and even in the rain, the views from the rice paddies are something we will remember forever. What a beautiful place!

Nozomi was our guide for an amazing tour of Noto Peninsula. We cannot say enough good things about her; she made the day! Noto Peninsula has beautiful coastal scenery, but it was our time with Nozomi that we remember the most. She was absolutely delightful -- outgoing personality; incredibly knowledgeable about any and all aspects of Japanese life, history and culture; gracious; impeccable English; loads of fun to spend time with. She went above and beyond to make sure that not only were we enjoying our time on Noto Peninsula, but also that we would get the most out of our solo days in Kanazawa, recommending restaurants, shops, etc. Nozomi is a gem; hands down one of the best guides we have ever had on an international trip.

Decided to see more of the countryside and Kanazawa Tours provided this excellent option of visiting the Noto Peninsula- Taka arrived to pick me up and off we went for a day of exploring- so much fun- saw markets in Wajima, salt making processes, driving on beaches- that was fun especially in a large car, rice paddies tiers and Kiriko museum (large lanterns of the Wajima area) and brilliant scenery! Taka was an excellent drive and most knowledgeable and I had such a great time away from. cities and seeing rural Japan.

First I want to say, that the name of the company is Kanazawa Tours. I offer this because I was confused by TA's name when initially doing research on choosing a tour in Kanazawa for myself, my husband and son (age 24). Second, and more importantly, I want to say that this tour ranked among my favorite that I've taken around the world. The customer service in arranging the tour was excellent and responsive. Mike, who I think is the owner, helped tailor this tour for what we wanted, which was food-centric. We went to an outdoor market where we purchased local fish and then took it to a little place that cooked it for you (like for a $1.00) and ate it there. Amazing and unique experience. Then went to rice fields (lucky to be there during harvest). I cannot put into words the beauty of the fields, right alongside the crashing ocean...magnificent! Then onto a salt manufacturer (if you can call it that). The process is to take ocean water and spray it out to dry and then boil it down. The owner of the place was just wonderful. Also went to a winery. Also made stops along Noto's rugged coast and through quaint villages. Our driver/guide was outstanding...Thank you Taka! To me, understanding different cultures by interacting with locals is what makes travel so special. This tour was excellent and I recommend it 100%.
