I am an operation stuff for tourist company in Kanazawa.
Hi, I’m Marina, I love wandering through Kanazawa's timeless streets, especially the Nagamachi district after the rain when the stone paths glisten and it feels like the samurai might appear around the corner. I often lose track of time in the quiet alleys of Higashi Chaya, imagining what life was like centuries ago. You can also find me at Omicho Market tasting what’s in season or enjoying the beauty of Kenroku-en Garden, cherry blossoms in spring, snow-covered pines in winter. I take tea ceremony classes and love sharing local traditions like gold leaf art, wagashi making, and of course, the best lunch spots only locals know. With me, you’ll experience Kanazawa’s charm through stories, flavors, and a touch of everyday magic.
