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.

Discover Kanazawa in depth with a private guide, professional photography and private transportation.
Overview of your Kanazawa tour
Experience Kanazawa in depth on a private full-day tour combining history, culture, food, professional photography and private transportation. As both your local guide and photographer, I’ll introduce you to Kanazawa while capturing natural, high-quality photographs throughout the day. We’ll explore samurai streets, traditional markets, castle grounds, gardens and geisha districts, using our private vehicle to travel efficiently between areas. Pickup and drop-off can be arranged from Kanazawa Port, your hotel or another agreed location, making this an excellent option for cruise passengers and guests who prefer the comfort of private transportation. Walking is still an important part of the experience, particularly within gardens and historic districts.
