Title: What's a Private Day Tour of Kanazawa from the Cruise Terminal Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
At Kanazawa Station, while taking photos at the Tsuzumi Gate, I explained the tsuzumi drum, and the guests expressed a wish to see an actual one in person. At Omicho Market, the guests tried raw fish for the first time, and after the seared nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), they were delighted, saying it was their first time experiencing fish that melts in the mouth. At Seisonkaku, we compared a high-ranking samurai residence with the Nomura Family residence, and at the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum and the Honda Museum, the guests were amazed by the armor and the sankin-kotai (alternate attendance) system. A walking aid was used, and the taxi was a semi-London-style vehicle. Although the driver, who mentioned it was their first time supporting a guided tour, provided excellent assistance. The Kanazawa Cruise Terminal is new, but meeting up with the guide is somewhat inconvenient. It would be helpful if entries could also be made in English.
