Lucas Lilly

リリー ルーカス

Lucas never expected to stay such a long time when he arrived in Japan over 15 years ago.  But the charm of Kanazawa, with its plentiful onsen and delicious sushi kept him here.  Born in western Canada to adventurous parents, Lucas moved no less than 10 times growing up, in both America and Canada.  He has traveled the world, from Cuba to Laos to Australia, only to finally feel at home in Kanazawa.  You can be sure that his classes are always fun, relaxing and informative.  When he is not teaching, you can usually find him on his bike or with his children Kaede and Asa.
