About Tour Guide Yuichi W.
Hello, I'm Yuichi, an English tour guide in Hokuriku region.
If you are thinking about traveling to historical places
such as Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go and Takayama, I am willing to offer a tour.
I can bring you to those popular destinations
from my base, Toyama city.
These are the examples of my tour:
Kanazawa - Shirakawago - Takayama
Takaoka - Gokayama - Shirakawago - Takayama
Toyama - Tateyama Kurobe Alipne Route - Omachi (Nagano Pref.)
During the tour I like to provide simple explanations about Japanese history,
and small tips for using the Japanese language on your request.
My interests are food, cooking, sake and wine
as well as Japanese novels and movies.
It would be possible to add those tastes to our tour
including a visit to local wineries, movie scenes, etc...
Finally, I will do my best to give you a pleasant stay.
Looking forward to seeing you in Hokuriku!

Hi Ana, I don't know how to thank you for such a warmest comment! Absolutely, it was a great honor for me to guide such a wonderful people as Sergio and you. In particular, I cannot help showing my respect to Sergio who made a fantastic decision in the middle of your journey. Besides, it was also fun for me to talk with you, two. On our way to each destination, I think I could provide you with recent interesting topics about Japan's society. Although I think I have to brush up my English, I'm so motivated by receiving such a warmest comment here from you. Please keep in touch. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Toyama Pref. or somewhere in Europe!

“An experience to remember”
Yuichi was a very good guide who tailored our tour to what we want to see and exper. The tea ceremony was something we added and he facilitated where we could get tickets and also able to navigate everything for us and explained to us what each place signifies. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good guide in Kanasawa.

Hi Irene, so nice to hear from you. I'm so delighted to hear you enjoyed the whole course of our trip. I was also able to have a good time in Kanazawa with such a nice family group like you. I wish we could more leisurely travel around Kanazawa and Toyama Pref., if you would come next time!

Hello Angela. Thank you so much for sharing the history tour with me on March 14th. It was also fun talking with Peter about the politics of Japan and Australia when we were driving. I know you two are veteran Japan traveler but please remember there are more and more to offer in Japan's rural areas including Toyama Prefecture :)
