Kanazawa Tour: Spring 2026

We had an amazing tour with Liam. He tailored the tour to meet our needs. We spent time in the Kenrokuen Garden and Kanazawa Castle park on a chilly rainy day but it was so worth it. Our tour guide, Liam, spoke English, had an amazing sense of humor, was skilled at photography, was very knowledgeable about Japanese history. He also has the patience of a saint. The tour went at our pace. Liam asked if we were interested in taking photos in key spots as well as places that he noticed we were interested in. We ended up with amazing photos, inside jokes, and memories that will last a life time. We had loads of fun and Liam captured our laughter in through the photos. Thank you, Liam for making our tour special and the recommendations for restaurants and other things to see and do in Kanazawa. It was well worth every penny. We're glad we didn't cancel because of the weather. The rain gave the photos character and the umbrellas served as props! The Fords spring 2026
