I am Guide
Hi, I’m Jorge, a local host in Kanazawa. I love starting my mornings with coffee at Kanazawa Station, then cycling to Kenrokuen and strolling through the gardens and castle grounds. I enjoy exploring Nagamachi, Higashi Chaya, and the neighborhoods around Korinbo–Katamachi, uncovering hidden temples, backstreets, crafts, and food spots that most visitors miss. I’m fascinated by Kanazawa’s blend of culture, unscathed architecture, and inaka charm, and I love sharing both its history and the real-life rhythm of the city with guests. The 21st Century Museum is a personal favorite, and I always aim to show the local side beyond the usual sights.
Our tour guide Jorge conducted an excellent walking tour in Kanazawa! He was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions in details and walked us through many interesting places including some narrow streets and hidden places that we won't be able to ever find ourselves. Highly recommended!

Jorge was a fantastic guide. Nothing was a problem and he tailored the day to everything our family wanted.

This was truly a hidden gem, off-the-beaten-path tour that showed as much of Kanazawa in a 2 hour window. Thank you Jorge for the view overlooking Kanazawa and the temple. We would not have seen these great sights with you. The soba place was great!

Jorge was very prompt in responding to messages. He arrived early. He really cared about our experience. He gave us an exceptional tour of Kanazawa including some very special hidden gems. He is very interesting and has a wealth of knowledge about all things Japan and beyond. I would highly recommend him.
