About Tour Guide Haru G.

Thank you for considering me as your guide! I am excited to become not just your guide, but your friend as we explore Kanazawa together—a city where rich cultural traditions seamlessly blend with modern vibrancy.


Being a native of Ishikawa Prefecture, with Kanazawa as its heart, I have a deep connection to this place. Though I spent several years living in New York, I’ve always carried the spirit of Japan with me. Upon returning to Japan, I immersed myself in the travel industry, gaining over a decade of experience and obtaining my guiding license in 2017 while working for successful inbound travel agencies.


My time abroad has given me a profound appreciation for Japan’s uniqueness, and my passion for sharing its beauty and culture with travelers has only grown stronger. Now, I am eager to share that enthusiasm with you as we explore Japan together, uncovering hidden gems and experiencing its timeless charm.

Reviews

Fab guide, so knowledgeable

Haru was a thoroughly knowledgeable and perfect guide and great at making sure we were fully understanding what we were looking at at the shrines and temples but more than that she gave us insights into the Japanese customs and approach to life. Such a wonderful change from Tokyo - Kanazawa is a place which has beautiful gardens and such history and Haru gave us a great 4 hour tour. We visited Samurai House which gave us real insight into how people lived, the castle which was fascinating and Haru was so knowledgeable about it answering all our questions. A wonderful day, so much knowledge, we glided through the tour, very efficient planning, transferring between sites. clearly loves her job, she moved along just at the right pace, well prepared with background information not just about the sites we were visiting but the history of Japan too. We thoroughly enjoyed the day! - Many Thanks

Thank you very much, Robert! It was a real pleasure showing you and your family around my city. I hope you had a wonderful dinner and a great time exploring the city the following day. I’m truly honored to receive such kind words. Arigato-gozaimashita!!

100% Recommendation

Haru was welcoming, friendly and guided us very well throughout the whole day. She was very considerate (f.e. pointing out nearby restrooms, where to shop souvenirs) and made sure to fulfill our request to have crab meat for lunch at Omicho Market and even gave us recommendations for suhsi dinner options (It was very delicous!). Haru spoke english very well, the day was planned good and she was spontaneous, when needed. We saw everything we wanted within this 7 hour walking tour of Kanazawa. Thank you Haru for your tour and wishing you all the best!

Wonderful day with Haru

We had a fabulous day touring the Kanazawa area with Haru. She was very organized and made prior reservations for us to do activities that we really enjoyed. She is extremely sweet and has an excellent command of the English language. Haru went out of her way to make certain that we enjoyed our day. We very highly recommend her for your tour.
