Shirakawago Private Tours

“The Best Guide! ”

You won’t find a better tour guide—Jorge is a tourist’s dream. With his unique and inspiring background, he offers a rare dual perspective: the critical eye of an outsider, and the lived experience, respect, and connections of an insider. Add to that his broad scholarly knowledge and deep curiosity, and you’ve got a guide who can speak insightfully on everything from history to daily life to shopping. From the start, Jorge listened closely to what we wanted and tailored the day to match. He checked in with us throughout, making sure the pace, content, and focus were right. Whatever you're looking for, he can make it happen. Our only regret is that we didn’t hire him to guide (or plan) our entire Kanazawa visit—or our whole trip to Japan. Jorge lived in Shirakawa for three years (so if you’re headed there, don’t even consider anyone else), but he told us his best tour is of Kanazawa. We believe it. We only had one day with him, but he filled it with insight, conversation, flexibility, and generosity. He gave us extra time at both ends, never rushed us, and shared knowledge that went far beyond the typical tour script. He truly went above and beyond in every way! Make the most of your time in Japan: hire Jorge. You won’t regret it.

Dear Sage-san, It was a real pleasure bringing you to Shirakawa-go and I am very grateful for your kind words and for choosing my tour! It is of the utmost importance for me to provide all my guests with experiences that suit their needs and wants. That being said, your words warm my heart, especially my knowledge and curiosity that matched your own knowledge and great curiosity! I am a walking nerd and I deeply enjoyed sharing my experiences living in Shirakawa-go and I hope that I will be able to guide you through Kanazawa in the near future and share with you my deep love for this city and its inhabitants!
