Hi, I’m Chiharu! Kanazawa is such a special place to me—its compact and charming layout means you can explore all the major sites on foot, which I love. The city’s rich cultural history has deepened my appreciation for it, especially as a guide. I’m always amazed by how much this small city has to offer, particularly when it comes to food. I enjoy peaceful walks by the river, especially during cherry blossom season, and dining at local spots where seasonal ingredients shine. I’m well-acquainted with Kanazawa’s downtown, including Kenrokuen Garden and Kanazawa Castle, and I often guide visitors through the enchanting Higashi Chayagai Geisha District and the historic Nagamachi Samurai District. I’m passionate about supporting Kanazawa’s artisans and love sharing insights into the city’s incredible food culture. Let’s explore Kanazawa together!
