“Una persona maravillosa y muy preparada para el recorrido.”
Nis dejamos una mochila en el tren,con el pasaporte y nos ayudó mucho hablando con los de la estación incluso dio su teléfono para que nos avisarsn durante la visita. En cuanto a la visita un 10, de hecho sin el no merecen la pena los barrios.

Hola Christina y Javier, Me sorprendió mucho saber que habías perdido tu mochila con el pasaporte, pero agradecí tu calma después. Creo que pasó como seis horas en el tren después de que la perdieras, así que me alegro de que no te la robaran. Debe ser por tu buena suerte. Me imagino que hacer turismo en Kanazawa con este calor debe haber sido duro. El calor continuará, pero disfruten de su viaje por Japón. Saludos Kenzo

“Outstanding Private Tour Experience”
We had a fantastic experience with our private tour guide Kenzo. From the start, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The tour felt fully personalized and never rushed. Our guide tailored the day to our family’s interests and shared great insights into the history, culture, and local areas, making everything more engaging. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and made getting around the city effortless. We also appreciated his restaurant and local recommendations that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Most importantly, we really enjoyed spending the day with him. And he made us feel comfortable and welcome, and it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a formal tour. We highly recommend Kenzo for anyone looking for a private, personalized experience, and would happily book again.
Kenzo H.
Dear Mehul, Thank you for your kind comments. You showed a great interest in the history and geography of Kanazawa and Japan, and asked some very insightful questions. While there may have been times I couldn't answer everything, I did my absolute best to ensure you had a great time. I sincerely hope you enjoyed your time in Kanazawa and Japan. Thank you very much with best regards, Kenzo

Naoto K.
Hello! I’m Naoto. I was born and raised in the dramatic landscape of Toyama, with Kanazawa as my favorite weekend playground since my young-hood. I am thrilled that you are considering the Hokuriku region for your Japanese journey. After living abroad and spending decades in Tokyo area, I returned to my roots with a clear mission: to share the authentic, soulful Japan that remains tucked away from the crowds. In Toyama and Kanazawa, you won’t just see history—you will feel it. This is a region of "hidden gems," where ancient traditions and pristine nature coexist in their purest form. I specialize in taking you where the tour buses don’t go. Whether we are: Unlocking Samurai Legacies: Exploring the hidden corridors of Kanazawa’s history and the delicate mastery of its gold-leaf artisans. Savoring the Secret Harvest: Dining at secluded mountain retreats or tasting the "jewels of the sea" fresh from Toyama Bay. Immersive Nature & Tradition: From the dramatic peaks of the Northern Alps to the quiet craftsmanship of woodcarving villages and local festivals. Pop Culture & Local Legends: Diving into the world of manga, anime, and folklore known only to those who live here. Because of my years overseas, I understand the curiosity and the "why" behind an international traveler's questions. I don’t just show you the sights; I translate the culture, bridging the gap between a visitor and a local. Every itinerary is 100% customized to your pace, your interests, and your sense of adventure. Let’s step off the beaten path together. Reach out today, and let’s start planning your one-of-a-kind Japanese adventure!

Hello! My name is Criselda, but friends and family often call me Selda. Welcome to my page and I'm glad you're interested in knowing about the wonderful city of Kanazawa with me. I am originally from the Philippines and I've been living and working in the Hokuriku region for almost 7 years. I definitely consider Kanazawa as my home in Japan. Kanazawa is known for many things including gold leaf, a rich samurai history, its beautiful gardens, delicious seafood, and historic Geiko (Geisha) culture. I would love to introduce these things and so much more! Did you know Kanazawa is also home to the oldest sake brewery in the region? What about the local ceramics and laquerware? You can also participate in different workshops like traditional Japanese sweets-making class, gold leaf pasting, Kaga-yuzen (local kimono brand) painting, and sushi-making using local ingredients. There are many beautiful known spots and a lot of hidden gems in the area and I can't wait to introduce them to you. One of my hobbies is photography and I will surely capture your moments in the city to make your stay extra memorable. I'm excited to meet you in the Golden City, Kanazawa.

Nozomi A.
Hello! My name is Nozomi. I am a Regional Licensed Guide Interpreter based in Toyama, covering the beautiful Hokuriku area. I am a unique blend of an outdoor enthusiast and a cultural researcher. For years, I have studied cultural anthropology and traditional crafts, with a deep interest in Japanese folklore and kimono culture. At the same time, my heart belongs to the mountains. I love trekking, hiking, skiing, and backcountry skiing. To me, Hokuriku is the ultimate destination because it offers the best of both worlds. When we hit the trails, I love engaging all five senses to truly connect with nature. I can accommodate activities ranging from beginner levels—using transport to enjoy the views—up to intermediate treks involving 2 hours of sweaty, active hiking. When we explore the towns, I love introducing you to local artisans who use centuries-old techniques to create modern art. My goal is for you to deepen your understanding of Japanese culture through our journey together. One of my favorite parts of guiding is chatting with guests to discover the fascinating cultural similarities and differences between our worlds. Whether you want to move your body in the great outdoors or enrich your mind through living traditions, I am excited to share my dual passions and show you the many faces of our region!
