Hey there! I'm Sho, your friendly local host here in beautiful Kanazawa. I'm drawn to traditional cultural activities, like trying my hand at metal casting in Takaoka city or indulging in a woodcarving experience in the Inami district of Nanto city. There's just something magical about immersing yourself in the rich heritage of Toyama. As a Kanazawa expert, I've delved into the intricacies of our infrastructures, with insights on gems like the Kurobe dam. But it's not just about the landmarks; I've woven myself into the fabric of our neighborhoods, knowing the ins and outs like the back of my hand. Whether it's sharing stories of my traditional handicraft adventures or guiding you through the hidden gems of our region, you can count on me to make your Kanazawa experience unforgettable. Let's have fun on this journey together!

Our guide Sho was very knowledgeable and thorough for our day. We saw many beautiful areas in Kanazawa even though it was rainy, windy and very cold. Our guide lifted our spirits and we had a great time.

Sho had gone to a lot of trouble to research the brief we had given him. We enjoyed seeing Kanazawa with his translations and friendly conversations. Thank you!!
