Hi, I’m Saki
Hi, I’m Saki
I’ve lived in Kanazawa for 28 years
I speak Japanese and some English
I am a Japanese coordinator
Kanazawa is a city where tradition comes to life, and I love every bit of it! From beautifully preserved streets to a rich food culture, there’s always something to discover. In winter, I enjoy indulging in seasonal yellowtail at my favorite sushi spot, and in spring, nothing beats a stroll through Kenrokuen when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. I also know the best places to find unique local souvenirs and traditional wagashi sweets. If you’re a foodie, I can take you to hidden restaurants and cozy cafés that won’t be in any guidebook. Let’s explore Kanazawa together!

Saki showed us her city and create an amazing experience for the whole family. Our kids really enjoyed the experience as well. She even made bookings and arranged a cab company to continue our trip. She clearly exceeded our expectations. Thank you !

Saki was just great to be around. It felt like a tour with a friend - and also she managed to integrate all our spontaneous ideas. We were grateful, that Saki was our guide!

We had a fantastic day with Saki, who gave us a wealth of insight into Kanazawa and Japanese history. She was very friendly and accommodating, and she catered to our requests (we clarified our interests beforehand via a short survey and also directly with Saki via WhatsApp). She also introduced us to the Japanese language, and we went out for sushi together at our request—now we know how it's done! :) We would book a tour through this provider again.
