“An amazing introduction to Tokyo - HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!”
We did an all day tour if Tokyo with Ken (with his wife driving). This was our first day of exploring Tokyo after attending a conference for a few days. It was such a fantastic way to get to know the city and to learn about its cultures and customs. We loved everything about it - the Sky tower, a cruise through some local shops, a beautiful lunch, the main shrine, the matcha tea ceremony and Hama-rikyu gardens. It was wonderful to learn from Ken about the cultural practices at the shrine and this gave us a real insight that we were able to use for the remainder of our travels throughout Japan. Doing the driving tour was perfect for us as it was so time efficient, enabling us to cover a lot of ground in this VERY busy city. Ken and his wife were an absolute delight to spend time with and we very much felt like we were being introduced to this fabulous city by proud locals. He is also a fabulous photographer - it certainly beats doing selfies (thanks Ken!). Thank you very much Ken and Shanko for a wonderful introduction to your fabulous country.

We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed every part of the tour—from the Sky Tree to the serene Hama-rikyu Gardens, the matcha experience, and the cultural visit to the shrine. It means a lot to us that our explanations helped you better understand Japanese customs and added value to the rest of your journey. And thank you for your kind words about the photos—I’m delighted that you liked them more than selfies! Please know that you’re always welcome here in Japan—I’d love to see you again someday. With warmest regards, Ken

Having met Ken on our first day in Tokyo following a long flight, we were so grateful for his care and attention, interesting stories and genuine passion for his country. He expertly curated a private tour for us including an incredible and authentic sushi lunch. Highly recommended.

“Tokyo highlights with Ken”
Ken was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. He showed us the must-see spots that no first-time tourer to Tokyo should go home without seeing. He was professional, knowledgeable, informative and good company. But, most of all, he was eager that my wife and I should finish our tour with him having missed out on nothing that either we wanted, or he thought, we should see in Tokyo.

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the must-see spots of Tokyo—there’s so much to take in, and I always try to make sure nothing important is missed. Your kind words mean a lot, and I’m happy I could help make your first visit to Tokyo memorable. Wishing you both all the best, and I hope our paths cross again someday! Warm regards, Ken
