About Tour Guide Kenji M.

Hi I'm Kenji

I have a government license of tour guide interpreter in English.

I was born and raised in Kyoto, an old capital of Japan over one thousand years

So I'm very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of the city

Kyoto is a fascinating and picturesque city drawing lots of foreign tourists every year

I can show you around not only popular historical sites and relics

but also its various attractions such us Zen silent meditation, traditional sweets cooking,

kimono-clad walking and so on.

I can also provide tailored tours fitting to your liking.

I like a famous Zen phrase "Ichigo Ichie" meaning "Treasure every encounter

for it will never recur"

So I always try to enjoy guiding every tourist with my best hospitality.

Zen concepts have greatly influenced many aspects of Japanese culture

I will explain some of them and allow you to explore Zen world through some of my tours

Please contact me any time.

I'm looking forward to seeing you and spending wonderful time with you.

See you soon !

Great guide

We booked Kenji for 3 days. 1 day in Nara and 2 days in Kyoto. He was extremely organized and knowledgeable of the area. He was willing to customize the tours for our specific requests. Most importantly, Kenji knew how to get around the cities, and the best lunch restaurants. Being foodies, our group was very happy with our experience with him. Recommend his tour highly! Mari

Mari A.

Mari-san, Thank you for your great review of my tours. I'm really glad that you liked my guiding and my lunch recommendation. I'm also glad that I could spend a wonderful time with you and your family. If you have any chance to visit Kyoto please let me know so that I can offer any tour to meet your needs. Arigatogozaimashita. Kenji

Nara with Kenji

Very disappointing experience. Kenjis English is poor and he was absolutely not an enthousiastic guide. Not a lot of explanation and no interest in his guests. We stopped the tour earlier.

Igor M.

Igor-san, I appreciate that you gave me your honest review. I'm very sorry for you that I could not satisfy your expectation this time. I prepare many explanation materials for my guiding and use them while adjusting its volume and timing according to my guests' needs. I misunderstood your expectation this time and used less materials which may make you feel very disappointed. I'll improve my skill to catch guest's needs timely in early stage of tour so as to adjust my guiding more properly. Thank you again for your honest review. Kenji
