About local Lucy
3 July 2025
Lovely and informative

Lucy was very accommodating of our young family and tailored the experience so all of us had things to look forwards to. The gold leaf workshop was fun for us as well as eating gold leaf ice cream from the shop it was invented! The historical districts were amazing. We really appreciated Lucy’s time and efforts with our family.

Amazing Tour with Raphael

Raphael was so patient with our group, and he fully customized our tour to meet our interests and needs. He is genuinely a wonderful person. You cannot go wrong choosing him as your guide! 10 stars!!!

Awesome experience

We wanted to know more about Samarai, Geisha's and the history of Japan during the Edo period, and Raphael was a wealth of knowledge as we toured the Samarai District. He also cheerfully answered all of our questions about everyday life in today's Japan. And showed us where to find the best coffee in Kanazawa! I would highly recommend Raphael if you want an informative tour.
