Hi! I'm Yukari. I'm a government licensed guide of Kanazawa city.(Kanazawa Visitor's Host) I was originally born and raised in Toyama prefecture. I had moved 2 times within Hokuriku region in my childhood for my fathers job. I've been living in Ishikawa for 16 years in total.(4years in my childhood and 12years since I married. ) I have a family of 4. I'm raising 2boys and have 2dogs. I love animals, nature, music, photos, camping, and good food. So if you feel that I might have a similar taste with you, my tour will bring you a satisfied explore. Here in Kanazawa, tourists have been increasing in number since the opening of Hokuriku Shinkansen in 2015. Many of foreign tourists are walking around throughout the city holding their smartphone by hand. Every time I see those people, I felt that I might be able to do something which make their trip more memorable. This is the reason why I took the license of Kanazawa Visitor's Host and started a local tour guide. Although I've just started as a tour guide in 2018,I sincerely enjoy making a personalized plan that every single guest would be able to make the day here in Kanazawa perfectly. I have ever lived in Toyama, Fukui, Ishikawa, Chiba, Tokyo (Japan),and Toronto (Canada). I have ever been to USA (Seattle, LA, CA, NY) Australia (Cairns) New Zealand(Auckland) Korea, China, and Canada (many cities). Let's go for Kanazawa tour just for you! Please feel free to contact me if you have any inquiries. Yukari                                                                                                                                 

Hyogo Tour Guide - Hideo Y.

Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585. I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof. In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships. When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it ! These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people. I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

Great tour in Kanazawa

Yukari-san guided my clients around Kanazawa for a day. There was a bit of a mix-up when they met in the morning, but she handled it smoothly, and my clients seemed to really enjoy the tour. Thank you for showing them Kanazawa’s beautiful gardens and sharing its rich history. She’s a fantastic guide, and I’d definitely love to work with her again for future tours!

Thank you for your warm review. I couldn’t make it without your help. I am really happy to know that they have enjoyed the tour. I also appreciate your fantastic offer! :)

Awesome Guide!

Raphael was our guide for 2 days. We did a day trip to Shirakawago and a tour of Kanazawa. He was very professional, easy-going, and understood our needs. He was flexible and an excellent communicator. Highly recommended!

Kristi, That was an absolute pleasure taking you around. Although a bit cold for this season, I am glad you were able to experience snowy weather & mountain for a few hours. Thank you for your nice words & review. Much appreciated. Kindest regards, Raphaël

The quintessential tour guide.

Yoji is kind, personable, reliable, knowledgeable. This being my first visit to Japan, a visit to relatively remote Shirakawago, Suganuma and Ainokura inspired some trepidation for me. Commencing with the planning phase, with his quick response to request, flexibility to adapt the schedule, through his punctuality on the day of trip, through his willingness to make an addition to the itinerary on the day of the trip. His professionalism , dependability and kindness made for an outstanding experience for me. If a six star rating was possible , this would be one of those. Thank you Yoji!!
