Hi, I’m Yuka Hasegawa.
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!
