Guide #73794

Hi everyone! I’m Lucy, and I’m excited to introduce myself. I’m originally from the south of France, and my journey has taken me through both France and Germany, where I worked in fashion and costume design before life led me to Japan. In 2019, my husband’s work brought us to Kanazawa, and it didn’t take long for this beautiful city to capture my heart. Since then, we’ve welcomed two wonderful children here, making our connection to Kanazawa even deeper. Over the years, I’ve completely fallen for its charm, the history, the craftsmanship, the peaceful gardens, and the welcoming people. Becoming a guide has been such a rewarding part of this adventure. I love meeting people from all over the world and helping them experience the magic of Kanazawa, from its rich cultural traditions to its hidden corners and unique local flavors. Speaking of flavors, Kanazawa’s food scene is something I can’t get enough of! Whether it’s fresh seafood, delicate sweets, or cozy little cafés, I’m always excited to share my favorite spots. I also take pride in creating tours that feel personal and flexible, tailored to the interests and pace of each guest. Whether you’re looking for a deep dive into history, a relaxed city stroll, or a food-lovers’ adventure, I’m here to make sure your visit is exactly what you want it to be. When I’m not guiding, you’ll probably find me exploring new places around town, trying my hand at local crafts like pottery, or out in nature enjoying a hike with my family. For me, guiding is about so much more than showing you places, it’s about connection, discovery, and sharing the beauty of this incredible city that I’m lucky to call home. I can’t wait to meet you and create some wonderful memories together in Kanazawa!

    Lucy nous a fait passer une merveilleuse journée. Sa conversation était très intéressante. Nous avons appris beaucoup de choses sur le style de vie des japonais. La visite était très complète. Lucy est très sympathique et chaleureuse.

    Lucy is a splendid tour guide for English speakers. Her living here for so many years also gives her a perspective those from Europe and America would appreciate - though anyone would enjoy her insights about the cultural history and arts. She’s quite knowledgeable about the astounding gold-leaf process and making of ceramics. It’s no surprise she was in such demand...

    Our tour with Lucy was truly remarkable. She has a wealth of knowledge about Japanese culture that gave us a deeper understanding of the beauty and mystique of the gardens and society. She was very flexible from the beginning working with us in developing our tour. Highly recommend her if you want a good insight into Kanazawa history and culture.

    Lucy was our guide (a party of three senior citizens from the USA) for a full-day tour originating in the port city of Toyama. Our excursion that day took us away from the port, first to the unique and picturesque village of Gokayama, and then to another special place, Kanazawa (including the beautiful Kenrokuen Garden and the nearby samurai district). The important thing...
