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!

Taste local food and drinks at neighborhood spots while discovering the lively streets and nightlife of Kanazawa after dark.
Overview of your Kanazawa tour
Experience a different side of Kanazawa after dark on this 2.5-hour evening food and walking tour through the lively Katamachi area. We'll visit at least two carefully selected local establishments where you'll have the chance to enjoy authentic Kanazawa foods and drinks in a relaxed, local atmosphere. Depending on the day and availability, tastings may include regional specialties, Japanese dishes, local sake, or other drinks that are popular with locals. Between stops, we'll explore the streets around Katamachi, one of Kanazawa's liveliest neighborhoods after sunset. Away from the city's famous daytime attractions, you'll see restaurants, izakayas, bars, and colorful streets come alive as locals head out for the evening. Along the way, I'll share stories about Kanazawa's food culture, nightlife, and everyday life, while introducing you to some of the neighborhood's history and character. If you have Vegan/Vegetarian/Gluten-free preferences, please send me a message prior to booking.
