I love exploring nature and feeling the seasons change—cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant leaves in autumn. Kenrokuen Garden is my favorite spot, but I also enjoy heading to Hakusan for breathtaking mountain views and even paragliding! Food is another passion of mine. I’m always trying new restaurants and cafés, especially in Nonoichi, where you’ll find hidden local gems. I also love sharing Kanazawa’s unique crafts, like Kaga-yuzen and gold leaf. Whether it’s beautiful landscapes, delicious food, or traditional culture, I’d love to help you experience the best of Kanazawa!

My reviews

    Unfortunately, we had a very wet, rainy day, but Saya made it work. She guided us through, via buses and walking. We like to take a lot of pictures and she was so patient and helpful. She kept pointing out the highlights and suggested great spots for enjoying Kanazawa.

    Saya was absolutely adorable, professional, knowledgeable and jaunt so sweet. It was a very rainy day, but she navigated us through with no problems.
