Tour guide in Kanazawa Liam L.

Hi, I’m Liam. I’m an Australian tour guide and photographer living in the Kanazawa area with my Japanese wife and our young son. I moved to Japan in 2019 and spent several years living in Hokkaido before relocating to Ishikawa, where my wife is from. Since moving to Kanazawa, I have spent my time exploring the city and the wider Hokuriku region while developing and guiding my own tours. Before working in tourism, I was a chef for around ten years, and I have also worked professionally as a photographer since 2018. Because of this, I’m especially interested in Japanese food, local culture and photography. I’m always happy to help guests take some great photos during a tour as well. My tours are friendly, relaxed and flexible. I like sharing the history and culture of each place without making the experience feel like a lecture. I also enjoy showing guests what everyday life in Japan is really like and introducing them to places they may not discover on their own. I can adjust each tour depending on your interests and pace. Whether you are interested in food, samurai history, traditional neighbourhoods, photography or simply exploring Kanazawa with a local, I’ll do my best to make the experience personal and enjoyable. I look forward to meeting you and showing you around Kanazawa.
