About Tour Guide Megumi Y.

Hello,I'm Megumi.

I was born and raised in Kanazawa, and this city is not just where I live — it is a place I truly love and am deeply proud of. Surrounded by history, traditional culture, and seasonal beauty since childhood, I naturally developed a strong connection to Kanazawa’s past and present.


My passion for sharing the stories behind this beautiful city is what inspired me to become a tour guide. From the rich history of the samurai districts to the elegance of traditional gardens and the local lifestyle that many visitors might miss, I enjoy bringing Kanazawa to life through authentic, personal storytelling.


Because this is my hometown, I can offer insights that go beyond guidebooks — local perspectives, hidden details, and a deeper understanding of the culture that only someone who grew up here can share. My goal is not just to show you famous sights, but to help you truly experience Kanazawa and create lasting memories.


I look forward to welcoming you to my city and sharing its history, charm, and spirit with you!

A Must-Do Experience in Kanazawa with Megumi

Megumi deserves 5 stars without hesitation. Although she was officially already fully booked when we contacted her, she still made it happen for us and kindly arranged a wonderful 3-hour tour starting at 7:30, which we greatly appreciated. Throughout the tour, we could truly feel how much Megumi loves Kanazawa and how proud she is of her city. She is clearly deeply devoted to her work as a guide, and that passion came through in every explanation, making the experience even more authentic and memorable. We especially appreciated her fascinating insights into the true history of the geisha tradition, as well as Kanazawa’s samurai heritage. She was warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, and she brought the city to life in a remarkable way. After benefiting from her guidance and historical knowledge, we truly feel that this tour is a real must for anyone visiting Japan. Kanazawa and Kyoto, together with the legacy of Edo-period Tokyo, are essential to understanding Japan’s historical and cultural heritage, and Megumi helped us appreciate that in a rich and meaningful way. Thanks to Megumi, our visit to Kanazawa was far more enriching than we could have imagined. We are sincerely grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and commitment, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
