I spent my formative years in Kanazawa and pursued my master's degree in the United States. Having lived in Washington D.C. and California for six years, I then resided and worked in China and various Southeast Asian countries. My passion lies in exploring new destinations and connecting with people worldwide. Now, it's my turn to extend the same hospitality I've received to you. I specialize in crafting personalized tours tailored to your interests and preferences. If you're a food enthusiast, you've come to the right place. For those seeking to delve into Japan's rich history and culture, I highly recommend joining my full-day tour in Kanazawa. Additionally, I offer tours to Shirakawago and Takayama. Let's embark on an unforgettable journey together.

“A Fantastic Day with Yoji – A Wonderful Guide for the Whole Family!”
We had a fantastic day with Yoji! He was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience both enjoyable and enriching. The tour was fascinating, well organised, and varied, with plenty of interesting insights along the way. Yoji made us feel very welcome, and our teenage kids really enjoyed spending the day with him, too! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kanazawa.

“Yoji K is an Excellent Driver and Guide”
Really commend Yoji K who picked us up at Fukui and drove us through to Kanazawa on a full day one way Private Explore Fukui, Eiheiji temple and knife village Tour. We were 2 couples travelling with our luggage. Nothing was a problem for Yoji. His communication was fabulous, car was clean and comfortable and Yoji shared lots of local knowledge. My only concern was not with Yoji it was with gowithguide in that they would not release Yoji contact till the day prior to our tour which left us very uncomfortable. Would recommend gowithguide review their policy.
Yoji K.
Dear Donna san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure spending the day with all four of you and showing you around Fukui. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable throughout the journey. I also appreciate your feedback regarding the contact details. Thank you again, and I hope to see you all in Japan someday! Yoji

“Great way to spend the day with a wonderful guide”
Our group met Yoji as planned at the cruise terminal and we promptly made our way through the countryside to Shirakawago. Although it was slightly rainy, it did not disappoint. We enjoyed all the activities of the day and also visiting Takayama and having a wonderful lunch. The scenery is so peaceful and well worth the trip from the coast. We would highly recommend Yoji as guide.
Yoji K.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed Shirakawago, Takayama, the beautiful countryside, and lunch despite the rainy weather. It was a real pleasure spending the day with your group, and I’m glad the trip from the coast was worthwhile. Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope you all have many more wonderful memories in Japan! Yoji
