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 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.

The visit was nice, Saki, our guide was very kind and knowledgeable and showed us some very nice parts of Kanazawa town, including some parks and the Geisha and Samurai quarter
