About Tour Guide Yoji K.


Hello,

I'm Yoji, based in Kanazawa.

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.

Reviews

Great day visiting Shirakawago

Yoji was not only extremely knowledgeable of the area, but he is a super nice guy and seems to really understand what his clients are looking for in the tour. He is flexible with schedule and helped us to navigate the train system, actually stopping by the station with us and helping get the right tickets for the rest of our visit. Highly recommend Yoji.

Fantastic Guide - Great Day!

Jogi communicated extremely well in setting up this tour and then communicating how to meet up with us in the port. The day was perfect for the four of us. Great tour of Shirkagowago and Takayama. Showed us unique places and even helped pick out some unique food items to try. Great conversation in the car and tour about a variety of subjects. He spoke excellent English. I highly recommend Yogi as a tour guide.

Thank you very much for such a great review and comment. I had a wonderful time with you all yesterday. The conversation in the car was the most fun part to me. I personally had great time with you yesterday. Cherry blossoms in Shirakawago was perfect! Again, thank you for giving me such a great opportunity. Have a wonderful time in the rest of your journey.

Highlights of Kanazawa

We got off our ship earlier than expected, but Yoji was there. What a wonderful day. The Kanazawa Kanagawa Castle and Park were absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our walk through the market, the Samurai district and the Geisha district. Yoji certainty knows his hometown well. He also selected a delicious soba shop for our lunch. Like Yoji, the owner/chef was a unforgettable personality. Yoji is the best!!!
