About Tour Guide Yuichi W.
Hello, I'm Yuichi, an English tour guide in Hokuriku region.
If you are thinking about traveling to historical places
such as Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go and Takayama, I am willing to offer a tour.
I can bring you to those popular destinations
from my base, Toyama city.
These are the examples of my tour:
Kanazawa - Shirakawago - Takayama
Takaoka - Gokayama - Shirakawago - Takayama
Toyama - Tateyama Kurobe Alipne Route - Omachi (Nagano Pref.)
During the tour I like to provide simple explanations about Japanese history,
and small tips for using the Japanese language on your request.
My interests are food, cooking, sake and wine
as well as Japanese novels and movies.
It would be possible to add those tastes to our tour
including a visit to local wineries, movie scenes, etc...
Finally, I will do my best to give you a pleasant stay.
Looking forward to seeing you in Hokuriku!

“An exceptional guide”
Yuichi-san is a kind and attentive guide. He was very punctual and organized the tour in a way that allowed us to visit Shirakawago, Ainokura, and Sunagami calmly and efficiently. His detailed explanations truly enriched the experience. We were very happy to have him as our guide — it was one of the highlights of our trip to the Japanese Alps.

Hi, Mariana-san. Thank you for your warmest comment! I’m so delighted you had a very good opportunity to visit all three villages where you can see the locals live in simple but still lively way. It would be great if you would tell your friends and neighbors about this marvelous experience.

Kenrokuen garden and Kanazawa castle park are really popular places for tourists in Kanazawa area, Hokuriku region. Both places have lots of attractions, so I think guests should enjoy taking enough time to go around there. I have seen many cases that tourists go around both places without enough time, so I made this see around with enough time. Each spots have meanings, so I will guide you about the meanings as best I can.
