Guest Review (from UK)

“Yuji met us at the market and gave us a great tour. He recommended local delicacies and shared facts around the market’s history. He was incredibly gracious and kind, extending our tour to the castle, gardens and samurai district. We couldn’t have asked for better guide for our stay in Kanazawa.”
