Shirakawago, with its stunning Gassho-style thatched-roof houses, is a UNESCO World Heritage site that captivates visitors with its beauty. Recognized in 1976 for its cultural significance, it offers a glimpse into Japan's rural life and traditions. Surrounded by scenic landscapes, it attracts tourists from overseas. Shirakawago, which showcases Japan's changing seasons, retains a fantastical beauty of the countryside. Please enjoy the scenery that cannot be experienced in Tokyo Osaka, or Kyoto.

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.

“Yoji is an excellent guide!”
Yoji was excellent —super friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable! He took us to all the best sites in Kanazawa and gave us additional info to bring everything to life. When we finished early he helped us do our laundry and explore our neighborhood a bit. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend a tour with Yoji if you’re visiting Kanazawa!

“A fantastic tour of Kanazawa's highlights ”
We had a great time with Yoji! He was engaging, knowledgable, and super accommodating. We only had a short time in Kanazawa, and he helped us make the most of it with an efficient plan that didn't feel rushed. Our entire family enjoyed our time together. The conversations we had with Yoji were as interesting as the sights. Highly recommended!
