Title: What's a Private Kanazawa Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Seafood, Kenrokuen, and the Coast
In the morning, one of the guests said they wanted to eat crab, which left me wondering what to do (normally a reservation is required at least two days in advance, and outside of that only pre-season crab is available), but they were very satisfied at a local sushi restaurant near Kanazawa Port. The guests were also interested in soy sauce, and at a soy sauce brewery they tasted the different varieties and purchased every type available. Since they were staying another night in Kanazawa and the weather was fine, with an unseasonably warm temperature of 21°C, they wanted to see the coast, so we stopped by Uchinada Beach. After visiting Kenrokuen Garden, the teahouse districts, and Kanazawa Castle, they enjoyed taking in the vast expanse of Uchinada Beach. I introduced some recommended places to visit the next day, and the tour came to an end.

Yoshi is an exceptional guide where he took us to the best market stalls at the fish market where every food we indulged in (including the sea snails and eel liver) were superb. The walking tour of the tea houses (Geisha district) and knowledge of the history of both the precinct and greater Japan was first class. Yoshi is also a kind and caring person and made conversation very easy, including when we wanted to dig into the country’s cultural values and lifestyle

Viator review: Kanazawa Customized Private Tour in 1 Day with Licensed Guide
YOSHI met us at our hotel and was very friendly and helpful. We walked around the city and he took us to view several different spots including samurai living quarters, geisha houses, the beautiful garden built by Maeda san. Yoshi was knowledgeable about the entire city and it’s treasured history. He inspired me to do some reading on Maeda san, a leader who played a huge part in the development of the city. Yoshi was an excellent guide, and even provided a LOT of recommendations and useful information for after our tour. We would definitely recommend YOSHI san! Note: you will need a IC card to board some of the city buses.
