About Tour Guide Raphaël P.

“Incredible Local Insight and a Perfect Kanazawa Day”

Raphaël made our day in Kanazawa absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we started, he brought the city to life walking us through the Samurai District, Omicho Market, the Geisha District and Higashi Chaya, Kanazawa Castle, and the beautiful Kenrokuen Garden, all while sharing rich details about the local culture, history, and cuisine along the way. He has a wonderful way of making every stop feel meaningful, not just a checklist of sights. One of the highlights of the day was Raphaël taking us to a fantastic local shop where we picked out a beautiful chef's knife his knowledge and recommendations made all the difference in finding exactly the right one. He was attentive to our family's interests all day and made sure we left with a genuine understanding and appreciation of Kanazawa. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, and we'd recommend Raphaël to anyone visiting the city.

Jonathan, It was an absolute pleasure showing you and your family around. I’m so glad we were able to fit so much into a single day while keeping the experience relaxed, genuine, and enjoyable. I have to say, you have an incredible son. It always warms my heart to see the special bond some parents share with their children, and the connection between yourselves was truly wonderful to witness. Keep it up, it was inspiring. I hope the rest of your journey is every bit as smooth and memorable as the beginning. And if you ever find yourselves back in Japan, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. It would be a pleasure to see you all again. Until then, enjoy putting your beautiful new chef’s knife to good use! My warmest regards to you and your family, Raphaël

“Kanazawa tour”

We had a fantastic tour with Rafael. He is incredibly knowledgeable and enlightened us on many subjects. He also pointed us out to one of his favorite restaurants & we loved it. Definitely one of the best on our whole trip. He also helped us secure our train tickets to our next destination and that was super helpful. Kanazawa was fantastic & we were very happy to have included 3 days there in our itinerary. Highly recommend both Rafael and Kanazawa!

Patrick, Thank you so much for taking the time to write me a review after landing back home. I trust you have had a wonderful end of your trip. I feel fortunate to have had the chance to showcase a little bit of this wonderful region and will remain impress of most of the spots and experiences you decided to explore on a first time in Japan. Fantastic!! Wishing you three the absolute best back home and hope the overall experience in Japan would be one for your grandchild to keep close to heart for many years to come. Raphaël

“Excellent tour!!”

Our clients had an amazing time with Raphael! Our clients toured all around Japan, and they said that Raphael was the stand-out guide during their trip. They said he truly went above and beyond, and made sure they had an excellent time in Kanazawa. We look forward to working with Raphael again in the future!
