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!

“Excellent communication and caring”
Yukari has excellent communication skills. She put my mind at ease when organising the trip for my parents. She also took good care of my elderly parents on the day. My parents had a most enjoyable trip thanks to Yukari.

“Excellent 6 hr + 3 hr tours in Kanazawa”
Splitting our Kanazawa tour into a three-hour afternoon session on arrival and a subsequent six-hour tour proved to be a perfect decision for my wife and me. This approach ensured we could thoroughly experience all the major highlights of Kanazawa without feeling rushed. We were incredibly fortunate to have Yukari as our guide. Her warm personality, good English, and impressive knowledge of Kanazawa's history and attractions were invaluable. She even exceeded our expectations by helping us secure bus tickets for our next destination. I offer my highest recommendation for Yukari as a tour guide in Kanazawa.
Yukari S.
Thank you so much for writing the wonderful review for me. I was able to plan the tour thanks to your precise request. I appreciate that you and your wife were very cooperative and we could make the day more memorable and enjoyable. I will definitely enjoy the new underwater world through your eyes. Thank you!

“Great tour in Kanazawa”
Yukari-san guided my clients around Kanazawa for a day. There was a bit of a mix-up when they met in the morning, but she handled it smoothly, and my clients seemed to really enjoy the tour. Thank you for showing them Kanazawa’s beautiful gardens and sharing its rich history. She’s a fantastic guide, and I’d definitely love to work with her again for future tours!
