About Tour Guide Haru G.

“Like spending the morning with a friend”

We spent a rainy morning in Kanazawa with Haru, and despite the less-than-ideal weather and my partner not feeling well, we still had a wonderful experience. Haru was very knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how personable and easy she was to spend time with. We truly enjoyed simply talking with her, learning about her family, her background, and asking all kinds of random questions along the way. It felt less like a formal tour and more like spending the morning with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, even while adapting the pace to our needs. I highly recommend booking a tour with Haru. She was thoughtful, flexible, and engaging, and she also offers great travel recommendations for other parts of Japan as well.

Thank you so much, John! I’m truly grateful that you found the rainy, cold day in Kanazawa beautiful. I also really enjoyed spending time with both of you and hope you’ll have the chance to visit again. Wishing you a safe trip home!

“Fab guide, so knowledgeable ”

Haru was a thoroughly knowledgeable and perfect guide and great at making sure we were fully understanding what we were looking at at the shrines and temples but more than that she gave us insights into the Japanese customs and approach to life. Such a wonderful change from Tokyo - Kanazawa is a place which has beautiful gardens and such history and Haru gave us a great 4 hour tour. We visited Samurai House which gave us real insight into how people lived, the castle which was fascinating and Haru was so knowledgeable about it answering all our questions. A wonderful day, so much knowledge, we glided through the tour, very efficient planning, transferring between sites. clearly loves her job, she moved along just at the right pace, well prepared with background information not just about the sites we were visiting but the history of Japan too. We thoroughly enjoyed the day! - Many Thanks

Thank you very much, Robert! It was a real pleasure showing you and your family around my city. I hope you had a wonderful dinner and a great time exploring the city the following day. I’m truly honored to receive such kind words. Arigato-gozaimashita!!

“100% Recommendation”

Haru was welcoming, friendly and guided us very well throughout the whole day. She was very considerate (f.e. pointing out nearby restrooms, where to shop souvenirs) and made sure to fulfill our request to have crab meat for lunch at Omicho Market and even gave us recommendations for suhsi dinner options (It was very delicous!). Haru spoke english very well, the day was planned good and she was spontaneous, when needed. We saw everything we wanted within this 7 hour walking tour of Kanazawa. Thank you Haru for your tour and wishing you all the best!
