Hi, I’m Mai! I love how Kanazawa blends tradition and modern life, from the history of Kaga Hyakumangoku to the amazing food at Omicho Market. You’ll often find me strolling along the Saigawa River with a coffee in hand or hunting down cozy, hidden cafés that only locals know. I know Kanazawa’s neighborhoods, as well as Nomi and Hakusan, like the back of my hand. Whether it’s the charm of the Higashi Chaya District, the perfect cup of coffee, or a little culinary adventure, I’m always ready to share the city’s best-kept secrets with a smile and maybe a laugh along the way.
