About Tour Guide Yukari S.

Hi! I'm Yukari.

I'm a government licensed guide of Kanazawa city.(Kanazawa Visitor's Host)

I was originally born and raised in Toyama prefecture.

I had moved 2 times within Hokuriku region in my childhood for my fathers job.

I've been living in Ishikawa for 16 years in total.(4years in my childhood and 12years since I married. )

I have a family of 4.

I'm raising 2boys and have 2dogs.

I love animals, nature, music, photos, camping, and good food.

So if you feel that I might have a similar taste with you, my tour will bring you a satisfied explore.

Here in Kanazawa, tourists have been increasing in number since the opening of Hokuriku Shinkansen in 2015. Many of foreign tourists are walking around throughout the city holding their smartphone by hand.

Every time I see those people, I felt that I might be able to do something which make their trip more memorable.

This is the reason why I took the license of Kanazawa Visitor's Host and started a local tour guide.

Although I've just started as a tour guide in 2018,I sincerely enjoy making a personalized plan that every single guest would be able to make the day here in Kanazawa perfectly.

I have ever lived in

Toyama, Fukui, Ishikawa, Chiba, Tokyo (Japan),and Toronto (Canada).

I have ever been to USA (Seattle, LA, CA, NY) Australia (Cairns) New Zealand(Auckland) Korea, China, and Canada (many cities).

Let's go for Kanazawa tour just for you!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any inquiries.

Best guide in Kanazawa - highly recommended

We visited Kanazawa in Nov 2024. If you are looking for a local guide who is knowledgeable, flexible and with great communication skills you don’t need to look any further. We had other guides in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka but Yukari is the best. She went out of her way to make restaurant reservations and took us to Yamanaka which was not part of the original tour plan.

Thank you so much for the great review. I was also able to spend a very special time with you two. I appreciate your cooperation to make our plan the best. That’s why we could actually make it. Hope to see you again in your place again!

Beautiful Kanazawa (even in the wet!)

Thanks Yukari for a lovely day around Kanazawa. Despite the weather not being the best it didn't dampen the experience. It even added to the armtnosphere at times. I appreciated your knowledge, preparation and company. It is always a pleasure to get the insights of a local, adding context, history and meaning to sightseeing. I would highly recommend anyone planning on visiting Kanazawa to spend some of your time there with Yukari.

Hello, everyone! I'm Lucy, and I'm thrilled to share a bit about myself with you. Originally hailing from the picturesque south of France, my life's journey has woven through the landscapes of both France and Germany, primarily within the realm of fashion and costume design. My heart, however, found its home in the enchanting city of Kanazawa when my husband's career led us here in 2019. Since then, this city has not only become my adopted home, but it's a place I've grown to adore. Now, guiding has become a source of immense joy for me. I cherish the opportunity to meet people from all corners of the world, sharing my knowledge about this incredible city and its cultural tapestry. Beyond the guided tours, my free time is often spent in exploration. Whether uncovering hidden gems in the surroundings or immersing myself in the world of pottery, crafts or hiking. I'm here not just to guide but also to connect, learn, and share the beauty I've discovered in Kanazawa. Looking forward to our journeys together!

Originally born in Mexico City, where I spent the first eight years of my life, I grew up in Montreal, Canada, for 22 years. Fascinated by Japanese popular culture and history—I have a minor in Japanese history and am a history buff—I participated in the JET Program Canada, where I was placed in Shirakawa-go for three years as an ALT. Currently, I live in Kanazawa with my Japanese wife and son. As a tour guide in Kanazawa, I specialize in history, hidden gems, culture, shopping (especially Japanese popular culture products), and food. I strive to provide an excellent customer experience. Fluent in English (Native), French (Native), Spanish (Native), and a good grasping of Japanese. I can communicate effectively with a diverse range of guests. Thanks to my North American background and my extensive experience living in Japan, I offer explanations that are easy to understand for Western guests, enriching their understanding of Japan as a vibrant and unique living space. Additionally, I am currently studying to become an official National guide in Japan, further enhancing my expertise and ability to provide exceptional tours.
