Hi, I’m Gucci

I’ve lived in Kanazawa for 34 years

I speak English

I am a government licensed tour guide

I'm Gucci, a local host from Kanazawa - a city where tradition and modern life blend beautifully. I love strolling through the historic Higashi Chaya District, with its wooden teahouses and centuries-old charm, or exploring the secrets of the Myoryuji Ninja Temple. Kanazawa offers rich cultural experiences without the crowds, from the peaceful Nomura Samurai House to the lively Omicho Market. I know where to find the best local lunch spots, whether you’re after sushi, kaiseki, or Kanazawa curry. I also love introducing guests to nearby treasures like Shirakawa-go and Inami. Let’s discover Kanazawa together!

My reviews

    I enjoyed the whole day. The meeting point was easy to find, Gucci was very easygoing, knowledgeable and a kind host. And made a last minute change in itinerary possible, for which I am very grateful! The sights were beautiful, the weather great, the food amazing, all in all a fabulous day! Highly recommended

    Our guide Gucci was very knowledgeable and well spoken. The history she told us about Kanazawa was much appreciated. She took us to a make your own sushi roll restaurant, which was fun. We then walked through two geisha districts and ended up at a lovely café. There was no need to eat dinner after the tour. We recommend Gucci highly.
