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!
