About Tour Guide Yukari S.

Hi! I'm Yukari.

I'm a government licensed guide of Kanazawa city.(Kanazawa Visitor's Host)

I was originally born and raised in Toyama prefecture.

I had moved 2 times within Hokuriku region in my childhood for my fathers job.

I've been living in Ishikawa for 16 years in total.(4years in my childhood and 12years since I married. )

I have a family of 4.

I'm raising 2boys and have 2dogs.

I love animals, nature, music, photos, camping, and good food.

So if you feel that I might have a similar taste with you, my tour will bring you a satisfied explore.

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.

I have ever lived in

Toyama, Fukui, Ishikawa, Chiba, Tokyo (Japan),and Toronto (Canada).

I have ever been to USA (Seattle, LA, CA, NY) Australia (Cairns) New Zealand(Auckland) Korea, China, and Canada (many cities).

Let's go for Kanazawa tour just for you!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any inquiries.

“Yukari S. – The Perfect Guide”

We had a wonderful day exploring Kanazawa with Yukari. She took us to the city’s most interesting places, and at every stop her clear, engaging explanations brought Kanazawa’s history to life and helped us appreciate what we were seeing. Yukari paid close attention to what interested us throughout the day. Whenever we wanted to make a small change or take a detour, she happily adapted the itinerary. We felt that she genuinely cared about making the day special for us. We travel often as a couple and have met many excellent guides around the world. We both agree that Yukari is the best guide we’ve ever had. Thanks to her, we enjoyed every moment in Kanazawa, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting the city. Thank you, Yukari, for a wonderful day we’ll remember for a long time! Boaz and Michal

“Beautiful day”

Yukari-san made our visit to Kanazawa special. She picked up on our interests early and reshaped the walk around them, which made it far more enjoyable. Her knowledge of Japanese history and culture runs deep, and we loved learning from her. Highly recommended.
