We had an amazing half day tour with Rina. We booked it at the last minute but she emailed straight away with a custom itinerary that really suited our needs, packing in as much as we could. She was very punctual and knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic about answering all of our questions. We had the option of travelling by taxi, although tempting with 34C temperatures I highly recommend sticking with the e-bikes, which was super fun for our teens and also safe (she takes us through back streets with shade) and you see so much more on bicycle. Our favourite was the Ninja-dear temple which was my favourite in all of Kanazawa. Fascinating history of this temple/ fort with hidden trapdoors (they accept contactless payment), although the tour is in Japanese English booklets are provided and it is easy to follow along. Was great to have Rina book this in advance for us. Thank you Rina for making this tour so thrilling for us, would highly recommend it.
A great way to experience kanazawa
