Our guide, Nicola, did a great job explaining the Geisha district and its history and culture. He appropriately adapted the pace for our mobility-challenged guest. The family-run izakaya for dinner had tasty, local food and sake. I would recommend!

The day trip with Tako was fantastic and delightful! Before the tour, she already shared many insights and detailed instructions on how to get to the meeting point. She was ever so curious, and we had no problem at all finding newer and newer topics to discuss about each other's cultures. The program is well-organised, and Tako has prepared additional materials to demonstrate Japanese culture – we learned so much about the blend of Shinto and Buddhism, sake and soy sauce making, the history of the country trails, and more. The ladies at the temple were charming, friendly, helpful, and generous. I felt so lucky and grateful to get to meet them and the story behind building such a strong community. We ate the best vegetarian menu set in Japan, with beautiful plating, which they guided us through each step. 🍱 I highly recommend this day trip to anyone who wants to move farther from the main tourist attractions to get indulged with more local stories, which may or may not include a half-eyed frog. 🐸 Thank you, Taki, for the experience! ✨

Jorge speaks 4 major languages and knows the backstreets of Kanazawa. Amiable, entertaining, and flexible. Will adapt to customers’ needs. He has very interesting and thorough information. Suggestions: carry a flashlight and be able to walk a lot. Food was a different preparation and good example of Japanese cuisine.

The host Tetsuro was very knowledgeable with the history of Japan especially Kanazawa we came away having learnt so much about this beautiful culture. No geisha seen but learnt a lot about them too. Ended the tour with a traditional Japanese dinner which was so beautifully presented.
