About Tour Guide Naoto K.

Hello! I’m Naoto, and I’m thrilled you’re considering the Hokuriku region for your journey.

After living across the globe and spending decades in the fast-paced energy of Tokyo, I realized something important: the most authentic, soulful experiences in Japan are found right here in my hometowns of Toyama and Kanazawa. This region is a "hidden gem" where ancient traditions and pristine nature remain untouched by the crowds.

My goal is to take you beyond the guidebooks. Whether we are:

Exploring the samurai history and gold-leaf crafts of Kanazawa.

Discovering a secluded restaurant tucked away in the mountains.

Hiking or fishing along Toyama’s dramatic coastline and peaks.

Diving into manga, anime, or local festivals known only to residents.

Because I spent years overseas, I understand the curiosity of international travelers. I don’t just show you the sights; I help you translate the culture. Every tour is 100% customized to your pace and passions.

Let’s step off the beaten path together.

Please reach out, and let’s start planning your one-of-a-kind Japanese adventure!
