Here in Kanazawa, tourists have been increasing in number since the opening of Hokuriku Shinkansen in 2015. Many of foreign tourists are walking around throughout the city holding their smartphone by hand.
Every time I see those people, I felt that I might be able to do something which make their trip more memorable.
This is the reason why I took the license of Kanazawa Visitor's Host and started a local tour guide.
Although I've just started as a tour guide in 2018,I sincerely enjoy making a personalized plan that every single guest would be able to make the day here in Kanazawa perfectly.

“The most delightful day!”
I'm so pleased that we were able to book a tour of Kanazawa with Yukari san. The visit felt effortless and joyful under her guidance. Our itinerary was personalized for our needs (time, interest, activity level, weather) and she had so much insightful information to share about each place we visited. We have enjoyed many tours over the years, but spending time with Yukari stood out among them. The visit to Kanazawa felt like a day out with a good friend in possession of a knack for being a generous host. Yukari is considerate and well versed in local history, craftsmanship, and delicious food. We highly recommend her to anyone considering a guide.

“An excellent tailored visit to suit our interests.”
Yukari is an excellent guide. She took the time In advance to learn about our interests and what we had seen already, to ensure she took us to the best gardens, an important temple and beautiful private houses. We saw so much in half a day. Yukari speaks English very well and was an excellent communicator about Japanese history and culture. We greatly enjoyed our time in Kanazawa and the time we spent with Yukari- we would not have found these places on our own.
Yukari S.
Thank you so much for writing a wonderful review. I am truly glad that you were able to enjoy the beautiful sites of Kanazawa even in a rain with me. Hope some ideas of Japanese gardens give you some inspirations about your lovely garden.

“Outstanding Tour of Kanazawa ”
My wife and I toured Kanazawa with Yukari. We hit all the highlights in just one day: Samurai District, Omicho market, Higashi Chaya, Kenroku Gardens and Castle Park. Yukari was a pleasure to work with in planning and on the tour. Excellent English. Communicated a lot of additional information at each site and was very patient answering our many questions. We highly recommend her.

Kanazawa es una ciudad castillo que se desarrolló alrededor del castillo Kanazawa. Este tour de un día lo llevará a los principales lugares turísticos de Kanazawa. Kanazawa es una ciudad compacta, por lo que pueden recorrerla prácticamente a pie. Podrán sentir la clásica atmósfera japonesa mientras disfrutas del hermoso ambiente de Kanazawa. Hay mucho que ver, pero pueden cambiar el contenido si hay algo más que les gustaría ver. Soy flexibles, así que informenme si tienen alguna solicitud.
