About Tour Guide Raphaël P.

Hello Explorers,


If you're looking to discover Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go, Takayama, Yuwaku, Kaga and more, of the beautiful surrounding regions in a way few ever do—you’re in the right place.


Since making Kanazawa our home in 2019 with my Japanese wife and our children, I’ve immersed myself deeply into the local culture, traditions, and daily life. This city and its surroundings aren't just places I guide through—they’re part of my story.


With a rich background in tourism, hospitality and the performing arts, I bring a seamless, heartfelt energy to every tour, offering you not just information, but real connection and insight.


Get ready for picture-perfect moments, unforgettable local flavors, inspiring stories, and tips that will make your entire stay even more memorable.


Choose to explore with me, and let’s create experiences as rich, vibrant, and lasting as Japan itself!

Reviews

Raphael is amazing

We had (great) guides in Seoul and Tokyo, but Raphael is next level. His depth of knowledge is really incredible. He's funny, highly professional smart...I could go on and on. I highly recommend a visit to Kanazawa, which is a great little city, and Raphael really brings it to life.

Josh! Thank you SO much for taking the time to write a review, and 'What a review!'. This is the reason why I have been in the service industry for the last 20 years! Thank you for noticing, thank you for appreciating, and thank you for sharing! I had a great time with you all but you just made my day! All the very best! Raphaël

Great Tour with a Guide Who Truly Understands Visitors

We had a very pleasant time during the tour. Our guide showed great knowledge and, even though he is a foreigner living in the city, he truly understands the mindset and curiosity of other foreigners who want to learn more about the local culture. He was very kind and attentive, explaining not only about the place we were visiting, but also about other regions we had been to, such as Takayama and Shirakawago. He also gave us excellent restaurant recommendations in the city and useful tips for our upcoming destinations — Kyoto and Osaka. We highly recommend him!
