I am Restaurant Owner
Hello! I'm Rimiko, your local host in the charming city of Kanazawa. My heart belongs to this city, especially its delightful izakayas, where I savor our local cuisine and sip on Ishikawa's finest sake. Living in Tera Machi, the temple town, I've developed a deep connection with its streets and stories. I'm also well-acquainted with Kanazawa's bustling downtown areas like Katamachi and Korinbou. Walking through these neighborhoods, I'm always excited to share their hidden gems and vibrant culture with visitors. As a restaurant owner, I've become an expert in Kanazawa's food and drink scene. Whether it's a local delicacy or a unique sake, I know just the place to delight your taste buds. Moreover, I love exploring Kanazawa's beautiful back roads. Join me for an authentic Kanazawa experience filled with good food, great drinks, and the warmth of local hospitality!

My reviews

The tour was very interesting. 3 very intense hours in which we visited the 2 gardens of Kanazawa , the castle and the Samurai quarter by entering two dwellings. The guide was helpful and kind , doing his best to make us understand the history and culture of Kanazawa. I highly recommend this walking tour, you get into the life and customs of the city. Finally, he recommended a restaurant or place frequented only by locals. Excellent and inexpensive. They do not speak English , but we get by.

Rimiko took me to some of the best sights of Kanazawa. The large amounts of information and history she shared with me were quite valuable to help take in all the sites around town. I would 100% recommend this tour. it was nice as well that the tour was focussed on my interest, so getting to eat local snacks was for sure a highlight. ❤️ oh and she made my wish of seeing one of the last remaining Sakura’s come true!
