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!

“Great day spent with Yukari round Kanazawa!”
Meeting Yukari was a lovely experience, as her personality shone out. She had organised a great day around Kanazawa - which is such a beautiful town - and we managed to see all the highlights - and there are many! -without too much trouble. Whether we were walking, or on buses or taxis, Yukari made it all very easy, as we constantly chatted. She was knowledgable and personable, and we felt very relaxed with her. Her choice of lunch spot was great and her detour to a gold leaf gilding workshop was really appreciated, as we were also interested in this part of Kanazawa's history. All in all we have great memories of the day, and can definitely recommend Yukari.

What a delightful day we spent with Yukari in Kanazawa! She skillfully showed us around the highlights of the town, carefully considering our interests and timing. Her ability to communicate with us and the local merchants was very helpful as we navigated shopping and other experiences. We feel as though we made a new friend, and would highly recommend her as a guide!

“The most delightful day!”
I'm so pleased that we were able to book a tour of Kanazawa with Yukari san. The visit felt effortless and joyful under her guidance. Our itinerary was personalized for our needs (time, interest, activity level, weather) and she had so much insightful information to share about each place we visited. We have enjoyed many tours over the years, but spending time with Yukari stood out among them. The visit to Kanazawa felt like a day out with a good friend in possession of a knack for being a generous host. Yukari is considerate and well versed in local history, craftsmanship, and delicious food. We highly recommend her to anyone considering a 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.

Hello! My name is Criselda, but friends and family often call me Selda. Welcome to my page and I'm glad you're interested in knowing about the wonderful city of Kanazawa with me. I am originally from the Philippines and I've been living and working in the Hokuriku region for almost 7 years. I definitely consider Kanazawa as my home in Japan. Kanazawa is known for many things including gold leaf, a rich samurai history, its beautiful gardens, delicious seafood, and historic Geiko (Geisha) culture. I would love to introduce these things and so much more! Did you know Kanazawa is also home to the oldest sake brewery in the region? What about the local ceramics and laquerware? You can also participate in different workshops like traditional Japanese sweets-making class, gold leaf pasting, Kaga-yuzen (local kimono brand) painting, and sushi-making using local ingredients. There are many beautiful known spots and a lot of hidden gems in the area and I can't wait to introduce them to you. One of my hobbies is photography and I will surely capture your moments in the city to make your stay extra memorable. I'm excited to meet you in the Golden City, Kanazawa.
