Haru is a great guide. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, genuine and professional guide and woman. Her English is fluent and clear. Thanks to her we had a wonderful time in Kanazawa.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Odelia! I had a great time with you all too. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your trip and discover good food throughout Japan. Please be safe!
Haru knows her city very well. She is very pleasant and speaks good English. We have learned a lot from her and it was a pleasure to have a full day tour of Kanazawa with her.
Thank you so much Alev! It was fun walking around the city with you all. I hope you will continue exploring the country safely. Enjoy!!
We could not have a better choice than Haru She is so interesting and organized For a perfect day out in Kanazawa it’s impossible to find anyone better than Haru
Thank you so much Roy! I enjoyed the day with you all. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan. Bon voyage!!
This tour is an excellent way to experience aspects of Kanazawa dining and drinks that would be very difficult to experience otherwise. The tour started at one of the best high end cocktails bars I have ever been to, continued at a more traditional izakaya, then ended at a tiny five seater bar for one of the most unique nights I have had anywhere. Haru is super knowledgeable and personable, and was also very responsive leading up to the tour. If you want to know what it's like to eat and drink like a local in Kanazawa, then this tour is for you.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I enjoyed your company as you were passionate about food and very knowledgeable as well. I hope you will come back to Ishikawa in the future to discover more fun places. Please continue to have a safe travel and I wish you happy holidays!
