Experience Full-day tours in the best of
Kanazawa with Withlocals

"Lucy was PHENOMENAL! My wife and I spent the day with Lucy on the Ultimate Kanazawa tour and left wishing we could spend more time in this beautiful City. We learned so much from Lucy about Kanazawa and its history and we are so grateful that Lucy was able to answer so many of our questions. It was clear to us that Lucy loves her City and she was so enthusiastic to share her knowledge and experiences with us. We also appreciated the great conversation with her as we were walking between spots and over lunch, and by the end of the day, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a new friend. Thank you Lucy for making Kanazawa a true highlight of our time in Japan."

"Yoji was incredibly generous with his time and level of communication before, during and and in-between our tours. A true gentleman and an absolute pleasure to interact with!"

"Lucy was a great guide for an 8 hour tour and our family of 5 (college and high school kids) had a great experience. She is from France originally and has lived here for 6 years and has an interesting perspective of what life is like and a very thorough understanding of history of the area. She is thoughtful and very intelligent and we really enjoyed her in-depth explanation of many aspects of the city: garden, geisha life, sumarai, castle, gold leaf craft, craft museum, ninja museum. Weather was rainy and cold but the 8 hours flew by since we were all very interested in what she showed us and this beautiful and interesting city"

"Yoji is a superior guide. His English is superb and he exceeded our expectations as a knowledgeable guide- willing to take us to a restaurant of our choosing for lunch. So accommodating, personable and thoroughly enjoyable to be with. We were so lucky to have found him and highly recommend him to future customers. Thanks, Yoji"

"Yoji was an amazing guide for our first time in Kanazawa, his local region. He customized a full day driving tour for us for all the key sights we wanted to hit. He is super intelligent and personable, speaks amazing English (he studied for years in the US), and even provided us with great recommendations for the next stops on our trip. Yoji also helped us to make dinner reservations with restaurants by calling them for us. Also the curry place he took us for lunch was one of my favorite meals of the many exceptional ones we’ve had over the last two weeks. I could not recommend Yoji more!! :)"

"Monse was a fountain of information and we had a great time albeit that it was a rainy day. Would highly recommend her as guide to anyone visiting Kanazawa. 1-2-3 and pictures taken as a great memory of our visit. "

"We spent a full day with Lucy exploring Kanazawa. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and super accommodating (which was particularly important because we were traveling with an infant). I also loved hearing about her experience living as an expat in Kanazawa - highly recommend!"

"Lucy is incredibly well versed in not Kanazawa but generally in japanese history and culture and can casually explain all I ever wanted to know about this wonderful and fantastic country. I had a great time exploring the city with her and can recommend the experience when you are interested in learning about the rich culture."

"Lucy was a fantastic guide and a great conversationalist. She has a wealth of knowledge and history about Kanazawa, and we were enthralled the entire day and learned lots... not just about Kanazawa, but also about Japanese culture and society from an outsiders perspective having lived in Japan for many years."

"Wij hebben een volle dag met Lucy doorgebracht en zij heeft ons op een fantastische manier Kanazawa laten zien. We hebben genoten van de mooie tempels, het kasteel, ‘geheime’ kleine tuinen en de grandeur van één van de beroemdste tuinen van Japan. Heerlijk geluncht en in het geisha-discrict iets fris gedronken. Ze nam ons mee naar de leukste winkeltjes en nam de tijd om alles rustig aan ons uit te leggen. Wij kunnen Lucy aan iedereen aanbevelen. Nogmaals hartelijke dank voor de superfijne dag Lucy!"
