Hi there! I'm Megumi, your friendly local host here in Kanazawa. One of my favorite things about Kanazawa is discovering hidden gems in our food scene. From cozy eateries serving mouthwatering dishes to cozy cafes tucked away in charming alleys, I know just the spots to satisfy your taste buds without breaking the bank. When cherry blossom season arrives, you'll often find me strolling along rivers and through parks, soaking in the beauty of the blossoms. It's a magical time to be in Kanazawa. As a local guru, I take pride in knowing the ins and outs of Kanazawa's neighborhoods. Whether you're looking for off-the-beaten-path restaurants or scenic walking routes that showcase the city's uniqueness, I've got you covered. So, if you're ready to explore Kanazawa like a true local, let's embark on an adventure together! See you soon.
