Why I Became a Guide

I was born and raised in Kanazawa, and later worked as a nurse in Tokyo and Sydney. Living outside my hometown helped me rediscover the city’s unique charm and the warmth of its people.

I want to be a bridge between the guests who come to experience Kanazawa’s charm and the wonderful locals who love and support it.

Through a local’s perspective, I hope to share the true depth and character of Kanazawa. Not just as a guide, but as a companion on your journey, I want to experience this city together and create meaningful memories with you.
