About Tour Guide Shoten S.
Hello, my name is Shoten, please call me Sho. I was born in a local area in Toyama prefecture. I majored in civil engineering at a college and am interested in historical infrastructures.
After graduation, I continued to study English at a local English circle. In international activities, I also guided foreign people around Toyama Prefecture, Ishikawa Prefecture, and Gifu Prefecture.
After retirement, I work as a guide interpreter and a translator.
The Hokuriku region has many sightseeing spots, including beautiful landscapes like Kenrokuen Garden and Tateyama, tasty food like traditional Kaga dishes and fresh seafood from Toyama Bay, and traditional crafts like Takaoka copperware and Inami woodcarving. I introduce these spots and historical infra tourism, such as the Kurobe dam and industrial tourism.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Hokuriku region.

“Wonderful tour of Kaga Onsen from Kanazawa”
Thanks for a great day Sho. We had previously been to Kanazawa and wanted to see something different. Sho arranged a full day tour for us visiting craft sites and a beautiful temple in nearby Kaga Onsen, ferrying us around in his own car, and returning us to our cruise ship at the end of the day. A great day out.

We are lucky to see training scenes for Yamanaka Lacquerware, historical kilns, beautiful scenes in Natadera temple, and traditional crafts. We also enjoyed soba with tempura. Please come here again if you have a chance. You will find true lives in Japan. From your guide, Sho

“Gokayama, Inami and Tonami”
We had a great day with Shoten! He was an excellent guide and driver! He organised the day and communicated the plan exceptionally well. The itinerary was exactly what we had asked for and we had a lot of fun along the way. Shoten also took us to a Japanese restaurant for lunch which was a great experience!
