About Tour Guide Lucy F.

Hi, everyone! I'm Lucy, and I'm happy to share a bit about myself with you. Originally from the south of France, my career in fashion and costume design took me across both France and Germany. However, in 2019, my husband’s career brought us to the enchanting city of Kanazawa, and it didn’t take long for this beautiful place to capture my heart.


Over time, Kanazawa has become much more than my adopted home—it’s a city I’ve come to truly adore. Becoming a tour guide here has been a deeply fulfilling journey, giving me the chance to meet incredible people from all over the world and share the rich culture, history, and hidden treasures of this incredible city.


When I’m not guiding tours, I enjoy exploring Kanazawa’s lesser-known gems, delving into pottery and crafts, or hiking through the stunning natural landscapes nearby.


My goal is not just to guide you through Kanazawa, but to create a meaningful connection and share the beauty and inspiration I’ve found in this special place. I can’t wait to explore it with you!

Kanazawa ist eine schöne Stadt, ideal gelegen zwischen den japanischen Alpen und dem japanischen Meer. In Kanazawa gibt es viel zu entdecken, aber vor allem die Gärten sind einfach wundervoll. Da Kanazawa während der Feudalzeit eine der fünf wichtigsten Städte war, erlebte Kanazawa während der Edo-Zeit eine wahre „Blüte des Kunsthandwerks“. Dieses reiche Erbe ist bis heute erhalten geblieben. Diese Tour führt abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade und zeigt Ihnen einige der schönsten Gärten Kanazawas.

A wonderful day in Kanazawa with Lucy

We were a group of 8 adults all 60+ who all thoroughly enjoyed our day with Lucy as our guide. The Kenrokuen gardens are a must see. The Ainokura site was also a highlight. Lucy was flexible with any change we needed to make and very informative as our guide. She connected well with everyone and made it a special day for us all.

Dear Barbara and friends, thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure to show you Kanazawa’s beautiful gardens and the charming Ainokura village. I wish you the best cruising around Japan and hope to meet again one day, in Kanazawa or Australia.

Excellent Kanazawa 101 tour

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Lucy this morning. Since she is from Europe, her tour is perfectly aligned with our (US) perspective and interests, and she speaks perfect English! Also she is super friendly and has a great knowledge of Kanazawa and Japanese history and culture. We learned so much from her while are not overwhelmed by too much information that could happen for a scholastic tour guide. So we highly recommend her if you are interested in Kanazawa 101 tour!

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.
