Tour guide in Kanazawa Criselda I.

Hello! I'm Criselda, but you can call me Selda. Originally from the Philippines, I've called Japan home for almost a decade, and Kanazawa has completely captured my heart. What started as a move abroad turned into a lifelong journey of discovering the culture, history, traditions, and everyday life of Japan. Today, I love sharing that passion with visitors from around the world. Before becoming a full-time tour guide, I spent more than ten years as a school teacher. That experience taught me how to explain complex topics in an engaging, easy-to-understand way while creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether we're exploring a samurai district, strolling through a traditional market, or enjoying local specialties, I want you to feel like you're discovering Kanazawa with a knowledgeable friend rather than following a scripted tour. Over the past several years, I've had the pleasure of guiding hundreds of travelers and have received more than 200 five-star reviews across multiple travel platforms. Every guest is different, so I enjoy tailoring each experience to match your interests, pace, and travel style. Whether you're passionate about Japanese history, food, traditional crafts, photography, or simply experiencing local life, I'll help create a day that's meaningful and memorable. When I'm not guiding, you'll usually find me trying new cafés, discovering hidden corners of Kanazawa with my husband, or spending time with our two adorable dogs. I look forward to welcoming you to my adopted hometown and helping you experience Kanazawa beyond the typical tourist attractions. Let's create wonderful memories together!
