Certified Domestic Tour Conductor — ensuring safe, smooth, and memorable travel in Japan.
Hello! My name is Ken (Kenichi), and I’m a professional tour guide specializing in private car tours throughout Tokyo and nearby regions. As of Dec 2025, I’ve guided over 1,700 foreign travelers (370+ tours), offering comfortable, customized experiences by car.
In addition to my experience, I am officially certified as a Licensed Domestic Tour Conductor (Itinerary Control Manager) under Japan’s Travel Agency Law. This nationally recognized qualification ensures that I can professionally manage itineraries, prioritize safety, and provide worry-free travel experiences — the same standards required for group tours operated by major Japanese travel companies.
With over 30 years of work experience in both Japanese and international companies in Tokyo, I’ve gained deep insights into the city and its hidden gems. I’m also an avid traveler, having visited famous destinations across Japan and more than 40 countries worldwide.
I understand the challenges many first-time visitors face in Japan, especially when navigating the busy and complex city of Tokyo. That’s why I focus on private car tours, which allow you to explore more places in less time, all in comfort and without the stress of public transportation. My tours are fully customized to your needs and include a dedicated driver — my wife — who remains on standby nearby, allowing us to move smoothly and efficiently without relying on taxis or trains.
Whether you’re looking for iconic landmarks, quiet gardens, or local culture, I’ll create an efficient and enjoyable itinerary just for you.
I look forward to making your visit to Japan safe, smooth, and deeply rewarding.

“Thank you for the unforgettable time in Tokyo!!”
Hiring Ken-san and his wife Sachi-san for a private, customized tour was definitely one of the highlights of our Tokyo trip. We contacted Ken-san quite last-minute, but he replied very quickly and was kind and accommodating from the start. I had a specific list of places I wanted to visit, including some photography spots, and he took the time to understand what we were looking for and planned the route around our requests. He was also flexible with the timing, allowing us to start in the afternoon and continue into the evening so we could enjoy Tokyo’s night views. We spent 6 hours+ with Ken-san and Sachi-san, and they worked together really well throughout the day. Ken-san guided us and showed us around, while Sachi-san assisted with the driving. They coordinated smoothly on the road, and the route was planned so well that we could simply hop in and out of the car at each stop. This saved us a lot of time and allowed us to see much more than we could have on our own. We visited Asakusa, Hie Shrine, Azabudai Hills, Prince Shiba Park, Zojo-ji Temple, Tokyo Tower, Marunouchi and Tokyo Skytree, as well as several other photography spots. Ken-san knew some really good places for taking photos and took us to the perfect spots for the views we were hoping for! It was also very thoughtful of Ken-san to take photos of us with his own DSLR and share them with us afterwards. He even made a video for us! What made the tour especially enjoyable was simply spending time with Ken-san and Sachi-san. They were both very warm and friendly, and Ken-san shared a lot about Japanese culture with us as we travelled from place to place. It made the whole experience feel very personal. We returned to Singapore with beautiful photos and lots of lovely memories, and we are very grateful to Ken-san and Sachi-san for putting so much thought and effort into making the day work for us. Thank you! I would definitely recommend Ken-san to anyone looking for a private guided tour in Tokyo!!

“A Day in Tokyo with Ken and Satchi”
It was a wonderful day. With Ken acting as guide and Satchi driving, the day set up perfectly. We arrived at each location easily and were picked up when we were picked up when we were ready to move on. There were no delays lookinng for parking. Ken was very informative about each location and its history. We were able customize an itinerary prior to the day. They met us at the cruise terminal with a car that easily held our luggage. After a five hour tour, they dropped us at the airport. Ken took photos along the way and emailed them to us as a momento. It was the perfect way to use the time between the ship's arrival and our evening departure for Tokyo. I highly recomend Ken and Satchi.
Ken T.
Dear Gerard & Barbara, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Although it was a relatively short tour, we truly enjoyed spending time with you. As we are around the same generation, we felt very comfortable talking with you, and it was a very enjoyable and memorable time for us as well. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the efficient style of our tour with Sachi driving and myself guiding. Thank you also for your kindness and flexibility throughout the day. We sincerely hope you had a pleasant flight home and that you will have another opportunity to visit Japan in the future. Warm regards, Ken & Sachi
