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.

“Excellent 6 hr + 3 hr tours in Kanazawa”
Splitting our Kanazawa tour into a three-hour afternoon session on arrival and a subsequent six-hour tour proved to be a perfect decision for my wife and me. This approach ensured we could thoroughly experience all the major highlights of Kanazawa without feeling rushed. We were incredibly fortunate to have Yukari as our guide. Her warm personality, good English, and impressive knowledge of Kanazawa's history and attractions were invaluable. She even exceeded our expectations by helping us secure bus tickets for our next destination. I offer my highest recommendation for Yukari as a tour guide in Kanazawa.

“Great tour in Kanazawa”
Yukari-san guided my clients around Kanazawa for a day. There was a bit of a mix-up when they met in the morning, but she handled it smoothly, and my clients seemed to really enjoy the tour. Thank you for showing them Kanazawa’s beautiful gardens and sharing its rich history. She’s a fantastic guide, and I’d definitely love to work with her again for future tours!

“Lovely and adaptable guide”
Yukari is a delightful guide. It was a very snowy day but Yukari made it work, was adaptable and flexible so that we had a great experience. We would recommend her to anyone wanting a guide to help them see and understand Kanazawa.

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.
