Magnificent Colors of Kanazawa tour
The experience with our guide Saya Miyashita was exceptional; she was punctual, attentive, her explanations and comments were inclusive for the whole group, she used didactic visual material, the tour was at our pace without rushing, she took magnificent family photos of us, and she was detailed in her explanations regarding the history, architecture, and anecdotes. We took a break to have drinks and desserts, which allowed us to socialize more with her and chat among the group. We finished with an activity at the kimono museum, where she explained the process of making them and the difference in the art of their construction compared to other places in Japan (painting); in the end, we painted a canvas to take home a nice bag as a souvenir, she gave us a souvenir as a gesture, and the experience she created for us in Kanazawa we will take with us forever to Mexico, Spain, and Norway. :)

A wonderful day!
What a wonderful day we had with Nozomi. Her enthusiasm and knowledge was outstanding and she made sure we had the best time. We so enjoyed seeing the tatami makers at work and the highlight was the umbrella ladies. To see the skill of these artisans and their passion for their work was a delight. They made us feel so welcome and having the opportunity to try some sewing of an umbrella was a great experience. Our time in Kanazawa was most certainly enhanced by our day with Nozomi and we feel we made a new friend. She was just the best!

Amazing tour!!
I had an amazing time being guided around by a lovely, chatty woman called Saya. She was very welcoming and confident in answering any inquiries she was asked. It was very intimate which I was worried could have made it awkward but she was really friendly and nice to talk to. Around halfway in, we went into a café and tried yummy cold food (which was perfect on the sunny day!), I had a tirimisu parfait that I fell in love with! I think the stop was a great idea to cool us down and it’s very considerate for older people who may need a break from walking. We were also shown around Kenrokyen, a stunning garden and castle with gorgeous views and interesting history. To finish off, we designed a small Japanese styled bag, we were given stensils to paint over which meant we didn’t even need to be good at art to bring home a gorgeous bag! This took the pressure off and meant I could really enjoy the experience. Overall I would definitely recommend doing this tour!!

Wonderful Kanazawa!
We highly recommend the "Colors of Kanazawa" tour. Our guide, Nicola, was fantastic and shared fascinating stories about the rich history of Kanazawa Castle and the breathtakingly beautiful garden.
The absolute best part of the experience was the workshop at the end, where we got to try our hands at the traditional color and dyeing technique ourselves. It was incredibly fun and a wonderful souvenir to take home.
Thank you, Nicola, for a memorable and educational day!

Book this tour for a great overview of the gardens and castle.
Saya is an excellent guide with a great deal of knowledge. She was able to answer all our questions.
The break was excellent with a great dessert. I didn’t know about coffee jelly, but it was amazing.
We got a good overview of the castle and gardens. Both were excellent to see and our visit wouldn’t have been as enjoyable had we been on our own.
We were most surprised by how much we enjoyed the craft dying at the end. It was fun and I think kids as well as adults would enjoy it.
Overall this was a great value and made a favorable impression of Kanazawa.

It sounds like such a well-rounded and enjoyable experience, thank you for sharing! We’re so glad Saya’s knowledge helped bring the castle and gardens to life, and that she could answer all your questions along the way.
It’s great to hear you discovered coffee jelly too—such a fun and unexpected treat! And the craft dyeing experience really is a highlight for many, so it’s lovely that you enjoyed that as well.
Saya will be delighted to read your kind words. Thanks so much from all of us at Kanazawa Tours.

Mindful tour
Great afternoon with Saya. Lovely guide - very informed and spoke excellent English. I got kick as I was the only one on the afternoon tour and we had the peak of sukura in the sunshine. Made for a great day wondering around the beautiful city. Lovely spot too to drink coffee and eat mochi overlooking blossom trees. Best part of the day was the kimono studio and the chance to do some painting. Learnt so much about the history of the city but also about modern day Japan.
