Thank you for considering me as your guide! I am excited to become not just your guide, but your friend as we explore Kanazawa together—a city where rich cultural traditions seamlessly blend with modern vibrancy.
Being a native of Ishikawa Prefecture, with Kanazawa as its heart, I have a deep connection to this place. Though I spent several years living in New York, I’ve always carried the spirit of Japan with me. Upon returning to Japan, I immersed myself in the travel industry, gaining over a decade of experience and obtaining my guiding license in 2017 while working for successful inbound travel agencies.
My time abroad has given me a profound appreciation for Japan’s uniqueness, and my passion for sharing its beauty and culture with travelers has only grown stronger. Now, I am eager to share that enthusiasm with you as we explore Japan together, uncovering hidden gems and experiencing its timeless charm.

“Lovely Day and a Half Touring Kanazawa with Haru ”
So glad we found Haru for our visit Kanazawa. She is knowledgeable about the history, culture and customs of Kanazawa, and speaks English very well. We visited all the major sites in Kanazawa, and learned much from Haru. Haru also knows the best places to shop! She took us to superb lacquered pottery and gold leaf shops, two of the unique specialties of Kanazawa. I highly recommend Haru for your visit to Kanazawa!

“We had a great time with Haru!”
Haru was responsive prior to the tour with our questions. She arrived on time to pick us up at the hotel and is very courteous. She is attentive to our needs (we had two older guests) and flexible to adjust according to our needs and desires during the tour. She is also knowledgeable about Kanazawa and the sites we were viewing, so it was very interesting to learn more about this city and its history from her. Overall a great experience and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others visiting Kanazawa!
