Kanazawa’s blend of history, culture, and craftsmanship is what makes it so special to me. I love strolling through historic sites like Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden, always with a coffee in hand. The city’s seafood is incredible, thanks to its location by the Japan Sea, and I never get tired of exploring local restaurants. I also enjoy visiting temples and shrines to relax and reflect. With a deep knowledge of Kanazawa’s traditional crafts—like textiles and pottery—I love sharing the stories behind them. Whether it’s history, culture, or hidden gems, I’m excited to help you discover Kanazawa’s unique charm!
