About Tour Guide Yoji K.


Hello,

I'm Yoji, based in Kanazawa.

I spent my formative years in Kanazawa and pursued my master's degree in the United States. Having lived in Washington D.C. and California for six years, I then resided and worked in China and various Southeast Asian countries. My passion lies in exploring new destinations and connecting with people worldwide. Now, it's my turn to extend the same hospitality I've received to you. I specialize in crafting personalized tours tailored to your interests and preferences. If you're a food enthusiast, you've come to the right place. For those seeking to delve into Japan's rich history and culture, I highly recommend joining my full-day tour in Kanazawa. Additionally, I offer tours to Shirakawago and Takayama. Let's embark on an unforgettable journey together.

Amazing guide!

We had the most wonderful day in Kanazawa with Yoji. His English was exceptional and his knowledge extraordinary. We had booked him for 7.5 hours and were worried it would be too long, but the day flew by. Yoji just strolled around the city taking us through the castle, the amazing gardens, the best coffee so far in Japan and we finally found examples of the no nails building techniques, which are just brilliant. Through the Geisha district, then the Samurai district, viewing original Samurai homes from a foot solider to the head of Samurai armies. He took us to a local soba noodle restaurant for an amazing lunch, plus a lot of fascinating little shops that you would normally disregard or walk by. It was the most memorable day, made so by a wonderful human, that has given us an insight into the Japanese culture, both past and present that will remain with us for a long time. The weather was also perfect, so a beautiful way to bring our Japanese holiday to a close.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you in Kanazawa. I’m very happy to hear that the tour became such a memorable part of your Japan trip. I also enjoyed our conversations and sharing both the history and everyday culture of Japan with you. Wishing you safe travels home, and I hope our paths cross again someday. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Yoji

Five Stars for Unforgettable tours in Kanazawa with Yoji

My group and I hired Yoji for three separate tours had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Kanazawa and area with him as our guide. His English is flawless and he is attentive, thoughtful and knowledgeable about his city. He shared so much enlightening information - beautifully weaving historical context, local traditions and fascinating details into every stop along the way. We felt completely taken care of and came away with a much deeper appreciation for Kanazawa. Five stars without hesitation. I am crossing my fingers to tour with him again!

Thank you so much for the amazing review — I really appreciate it! I had such a great time spending those three days with you as well. It was truly a pleasure, and I’m so glad we got to share such a fun and memorable experience together. Yoji

Toyama River Cruise and favorite local Ramen Hidden Gems

Yoji’s service is always to the fullest. He was willing to adjust the pace and asked lots of questions to make sure he understand what we wanted. And he did. We booked him on 2 seperate days, and so he spent 2 nights waiting for us. He even was willing to pick us from hotel and drop us for dinner together. His English is impeccable. His global knowledge is also a plus. Really recommend him for private tour.
