I live in Takaoka city in Toyama area, right next to Kanazawa area.
I know the Hokuriku region has lots of attractive points, so I live in here.
But these area are still developing area for sightseeing because it is a little difficult to see around by yourselves especially when you come for the first time.
Since I moved into this area, I've been working as a guide in this region.
So why don't you join my tour when you come to the Hokuriku region?

“Tateyama Alpine Route”
We had a really good tour arranged by Yuta. We had some practical challenges in connection with our trip along the Tateyama Alpine route. Yuta helped us arrange the tour so it was a really good experience. During the trip, Yuta told us many interesting things about Japan, including about daily life and Japanese culture. We thank you for an exciting and well-arranged tour.

Thank you for your review. Meeting everyone of your group was super friendly and kind. The time to spend together made me so happy. I was also glad you asked me the Japanese culture. I sincerely hope you come back to Japan in the future!
