About Tour Guide Haru G.
Thank you for your interest in choosing me as your guide! I will be your friend in Kanazawa, a city with rich culture and history, modern and old co-exist.
I'm originally from Ishikawa Prefecture where Kanazawa is the capital. In the past, I lived in New York for many years.
After coming back to Japan, I have worked in the travel industry for a decade and learned a lot about inbound travelers. I also obtained my guide license in 2017 while I was working for successful inbound travel agencies. Living abroad and promoting Japan as a destination made my love for the country stronger and I'm passionate about sharing it with others. Now I am ready to explore Japan with you!
