I'm Yoji K., your private tour guide in Kanazawa

Guide #68173

Hello, I'm Yoji, based in Kanazawa. I spent my formative years in Kanazawa and pursued my master's degree in the United States. Having lived in Washington D.C. and California for six years, I then resided and worked in China and various Southeast Asian countries. My passion lies in exploring new destinations and connecting with people worldwide. Now, it's my turn to extend the same hospitality I've received to you. I specialize in crafting personalized tours tailored to your interests and preferences. If you're a food enthusiast, you've come to the right place. For those seeking to delve into Japan's rich history and culture, I highly recommend joining my full-day tour in Kanazawa. Additionally, I offer tours to Shirakawago, Takayama, Nagano, Toyama and Fukui. Let's embark on an unforgettable journey together!

    Yoji was great. Very flexible, knowledgeable, reliable and an excellent communicator. Many Japanese guides don't have great verbal English skills but this was not an issue at all with Yoji. Highly recommended!
