Fun Night Out!

Arun_S, May 2026

This was a fun night out. It was raining and there were only two of us but our guide Yuji was great. He shared his knowledge about the areas we passed thru, its history, etc. We enjoyed his food recommendations and we ended the night at a jazz bar where we had so many laughs with him and the bartending staff. Highly recommend.

Fun hidden spots

Fun time. Went to some great spots never would have found otherwise. Our guide Yuji was fun friendly and informative.

I had a great time on...

I had a great time on this tour with Yuji. Yuji met us and took us to this amazing izakaya where we had a nice meal then walked us through the Geisha district to this really cool bar. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun evening!

Kanazawa ight Tour

Jody_Y, Feb 2026

We had the absolute pleasure of doing the Kanazawa Night Tour with Yuji, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Japan. Yuji curated the most incredible evening for us. He selected a spectacular dinner restaurant that was pure, authentic Japanese cuisine — the kind of place you would never find on your own as a visitor. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully presented, and deeply rooted in local tradition. It was exactly the immersive experience we were hoping for. After dinner, he took us to a second-level bar for cocktails that was truly out of this world — intimate, stylish, and such a unique atmosphere. It felt like stepping into a hidden gem only locals know about. To wrap up the evening, we visited a sake bar where I enjoyed a sake flight. Yuji took the time to explain the different profiles and helped me discover that I absolutely love the sweeter varieties. It was such a fun and educational experience, not just a tasting. What really sets Yuji apart is his warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail. He reads the room perfectly, creates a relaxed yet elevated experience, and makes the entire night feel seamless. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish. If you are considering a Kanazawa Night Tour, do not hesitate — book with Yuji. He is awesome, and this tour is an absolute must.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a warm and thoughtful review. This night tour is still quite new for us, so receiving words like yours truly means more than we can express. Knowing that the experience became one of the highlights of your time in Japan is incredibly encouraging and gives us great motivation to keep improving and growing. Yuji puts his heart into creating each tour, and we are genuinely happy that his attention to detail, local knowledge, and hospitality made your evening special. Thank you again for choosing our tour and for your kind support. We sincerely hope to welcome you back to Kanazawa someday. With our deepest gratitude, Amazing Tour Japan
