Kawagoe is located in the north part of Tokyo. It is only 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo. Kawagoe has good access and it is a very convenient tourist spot. Kawagoe is a town of history retaining the culture and aroma of Edo period 400 years ago. Why not visit the temples and learn about historical heritage, and fill up on Japanese food at an authentic Japanese restaurant?

About Tour Guide Kenji K.

Hello, I was born in 1956 in Hiroshima and have lived in Tokyo for over 40 years. I have a license of “National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter”. I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf.

I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s.

It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season. Especially in spring time, cherry blossoms in full bloom welcome you. Japan is a safe country, meals are very delicious, and you can explore Japanese great history at the spiritual places of shrines and temples.

Please contact me. You are assured to have an enjoyable and memorial trip.

I'm looking forward to having wonderful time with you.

See you!

“Tokyo Old and New ”

Kenji felt like our friend as well as our guide, we recommend a full day to Explore Tokyo's Shinto Shrines and Buddhist Temples, we walked around many including Sensoji Temple and through old streets and explored the famous Ueno park where Kenji shared with us, all his in-depth knowledge, he took the time to laugh and bring Tokyo alive and he kindly took photos to share our wonderful experience which he sent to us after our trip

Hi Donna: I am very happy that you enjoyed your visit to Tokyo. There are still many places in Japan other than Tokyo that are rich in nature and delicious Japanese food. Please visit Japan again if you have a chance. I look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards, Kenji
