    Kumiko gave us an excellent tour of Takayama

    Kumiko was a great guide from before the start (she dropped off a welcome note and a suggested itinerary to our hotel on the evening prior to the tour) and to after the finish of our tour (when we found leaflets had been dropped off to our hotel to help us with forthcoming stops on our tour). She welcomed us at the meeting point with a poster with my name on it and then discussed the suggested itinerary. We were very happy to go along with her suggestions. We went to a temple where she arranged with the priest for us to go inside which was a very interesting experience, then on to the market, to a museum, a shrine and the old houses. It was very varied and Kumiko gave us useful explanations backed up by well prepared visual aids. She was very safety conscious. At the end she prepared a little thoughtful gift for us. We highly recommend a tour with Kumiko.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Kumiko made your tour so special from start to finish. It sounds like the itinerary, the temple visit, and all the thoughtful touches really made for a memorable day. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her. Best wishes from the team at Kanazawa Tours!

    Great tour - highly recommended

    We had a half day walking tour of Takayama with Ikue. This was exactly what we expected, taking in a range of the sights. Ikue was flexible and made several suggestions on possible things to see at our choice and kept the pace perfect throughout. Excellent knowledge and impeccable English, with a friendly personality. Perfect experience.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. Ikue is known for her friendliness and great local knowledge, and we’re happy she made your walking tour of Takayama exactly what you hoped for. We hope to welcome you again soon! All the best from Kanazawa Tours.
