A full day of sights and activities! Our excellent guide, Yashumi was very knowledgeable. Shirakawa is a lovely and historic village worth seeing. The afternoon was equally enjoyable, including a visit to Kenroken Garden, and making a gold leaf postcard. One of the best tours I’ve been on.

We went with Aiko and Yasushi and they were so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable about the area. Shirakawa-go was beautiful and having free time to explore was perfect. The afternoon experiences were fun and different to do on a tour. The itinerary was a great mix of structure and free time. Highly recommended as an easy and fun way to experience Kanazawa!
