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.

    We loved our time with Megumi! She made our time with her in Kanazawa amazing. She made sure our 10 year old daughter enjoyed her experience, along with ours. She had the best recommendation for other tours while we were in Kanazawa and even helped book them for us. It definitely felt like we were with a friend!

    Megumi was a phenomenal host! She knew the city and was able to show us a whole range of the cooler parts of Kanazawa - but mostly she was super patient and attentive to the kids!

    Megumi provided an excellent tour of Kanazawa. She had an excellent knowledge of all aspects of the history and culture of the city. In arranging our tour she was a great communicator, and tailored our tour to our desires. She led us on a tour that maximized our time while still not leaving out any detail of the history. We would have not learned a fraction as much about Kanazawa had we not taken the tour.
