Hi! My name is Koki, a local guide based in Kanazawa, Japan 🇯🇵 I work with 『Amazing Tour Japan』, a local tour company that focuses on authentic, cultural experiences for international travelers. I enjoy sharing Kanazawa’s samurai history, traditional streets, local food, and everyday life that you won’t find in guidebooks. My tours are relaxed, friendly, and interactive, with plenty of time for questions and conversation. To make everyone feel comfortable, I also use AI tools to support communication when needed — so language is never a barrier. If you’re looking for a local, personal, and easygoing way to explore Kanazawa, I’d love to show you around!
