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!

We met a lovely guide, Saki, who showed us local restaurants we never would have found on our own. While learning about the food, and history of the area, we also enjoyed Saki’s company and great conversation!
