We went on the Noto full day tour with TK and highly recommend the experience to anyone interested to see the area and have beautiful photos to document the experience! TK is fluent in English, having spent many years in Australia and the UK, so he could answer our questions, chat with us over lunch, direct us on photo taking, and translate for us at shops and restaurants. The day of our tour the weather was intense (heavy rain and strong wind), but we made the most of it. We visited Wajima Market, Wajima Kiriko Art Museum, a public foot bath, stopped for lunch, traveled to Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces, and due to weather skipped the beach highway and visited a shrine instead (our preference given the conditions) before returning to Kanazawa. We were with TK from 8am-4:30pm. Along the way TK took photos of us and was able to send us a shared folder of 30 edited photos the same evening (ahead of schedule). We took couples photos but you could do solo portraits or family portraits too. We don't take ourselves very seriously so we requested TK take funny photos of us too. He provided a great mix of humorous, scenic, and romantic photos for us to remember our trip by. If we hadn't booked with TK, we would not have been able to fit these sites into our itinerary without renting a car ourselves or going on a bus tour. The price was comparable to other private tours that did not include an English speaking guide nor professional photos. This tour or others guided by TK are a must when in the Kanazawa area.
