    Katie was delightful and gave us a choice of Kanazawa highlights to visit in our 4 hours. The Kenrokuen park was my favourite - incredibly beautiful. We saw a lot without rushing and Katie was very personable, great company and even ran over time in order to help me find her recommended instant dashi in a store.

    Iku requested information from me in advance regarding my interests & what I hoped to experience in Kanazawa…then she planned our itinerary to combine my ideas with her own professional experience to create a fantastic day. This is her city & she knows every corner of it.
