About Tour Guide Yuta W.
I live in Takaoka city in Toyama area, right next to Kanazawa area.
I know the Hokuriku region has lots of attractive points, so I live in here.
But these area are still developing area for sightseeing because it is a little difficult to see around by yourselves especially when you come for the first time.
Since I moved into this area, I've been working as a guide in this region.
So why don't you join my tour when you come to the Hokuriku region?

Takaoka door-to-door tour
"Door-to-door" means the tour starts from where you like and ends where you like. It is possible to do this because the tour is done by car. There are attractive sites, but they are dispersed in the countryside. So I have planned this tour for tourists using a car. Let's go to where it is difficult to access!

Welcome to Hokuriku! I’m based in Kanazawa and would love to show you around not just the famous sights, but also the everyday beauty and hidden corners that make this region special. I also provide winter tours and have a logistics team for your expedient comfort needs and convenience. Whether you're strolling through samurai districts, sampling fresh seafood at a local market, or soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of mountain villages like Takayama, Shirakawa-go or Ainokura among many more, I’ll help you experience Japan in a way that feels personal, relaxed, and real. I grew up in BC Canada with friends from all over the world, and now call Japan home. I speak conversational Japanese and understand both the traveler’s curiosity and the local rhythm of life. That means I can help bridge the gap, so you feel comfortable and connected wherever we go. Every tour is flexible—if the weather shifts or something catches your eye, we can adapt. My goal is to make your time here smooth, engaging, and full of insight. Let’s explore Hokuriku together, one story, flavor, and moment at a time.
