YOUR KANAZAWA GUIDE

Private Tours with a Local
Who Loves Kanazawa

Hi, I’m Yuka.
Your Kanazawa Guide!

I’ve been living in Kanazawa for more than 25 years, raising three children while building a career I love.

I run a web design studio and also lead a nonprofit organization that supports families in this city. Over the years, I’ve served on many city advisory committees to help shape community policies.

I studied in the U.S. and graduated from SUNY Binghamton in New York. I’ve always been passionate about connecting with people from around the world. I’m also a dedicated runner. I run a marathon every year!

My life is deeply rooted in Kanazawa, and I’d love to share it with you, not just the famous sights, but also its quiet charm, hidden gems, and everyday local life.

Whether it’s your first visit or not, I’ll help you explore Kanazawa like a local friend.

Let’s discover this city together!

Why Me?

My tours are private. Just for you, your partner, your family, or a small group of friends.
That means you get the most out of every moment in Kanazawa.
Living Here for 25+ Years
As a local resident in Kanazawa, I offer an authentic, local perspective that only long-time residents can provide. Join me to discover the hidden gems and lesser-known stories that most tourists miss, the kind of connection only insiders can share.
Great Times for All Generations
My tours are for everyone, from adults to kids. No matter the age, I make sure every experience is fun, and filled with great moments you’ll remember long after the tour ends.
Tailored Tours for Every Interest
I customize every tour based on who’s joining. For families, I keep it fun and easygoing. With teens, I add cool, modern touches. And for history or culture lovers, I dive deeper.
Whatever your style, I make it yours.
