About Tour Guide Ken T.

Hi, I'm Ken, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Japan.

I’ve been living in Yokohama, west of Tokyo, for more than 20 years.

Since 2018 I have been enjoying guiding guests from all over the globe to various attractive places in Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Yokohama, Kamakura and so on.

I can also bring you unique experiences such as sake tasting, car factory, beer brewery, fish markets as well as rural town visit in Tohoku (Northeast district in mainland Japan), where I was born, and you can meet local Japanese people in person.

Please think I’m your friend in Japan. Tell me where you want to go, see, or experience. I will customize the itinerary to suit to your interests.

My hobby is walking and jogging. I made 42K runs 9 times so far, but I take it easy recently:-)

Having worked globally in food industry for 35 years, I love exploring Oishii (delicious) foods.

I’ll try my best to make your visit a memorable one.

I’m looking forward to meeting you soon!

“Loved seeing Hakone with Ken-san”

My boyfriend and I toured Hakone and the surrounding area with Ken-san. We had a great day! We took the rope-way and cable car to have black eggs at the top of the volcano (for good luck) and then did the Lake Ashi boat ride (and on a clear day you can see Mt Fuji). We had a great local lunch, shopped a bit and walked in the town and a nearby forest. We also did a sake tasting at a local grocery store that offered a quick, fun way to learn more about sake. Ken-san is very knowledgeable, friendly, upbeat, easy to talk with and funny. He clearly loves what he does and likes to share the history and culture of the region and Japan. He was also flexible and listened to what we wanted to do and planned the day accordingly. We would definitely use Ken-san again and highly recommend him.

Ken T.

Mira-san, thank you so much for your review! I am pleased to know you enjoyed Hakone although Mt. Fuji was not seen. Yes, as you found, Hakone has many other attractive places and things to do. I was also happy to have a wonderful time with you and your boyfriend. I'd love to host you if you have another chance to come in the future.

“Great guide, Ken!”

Also, wanted to let you know that the tour guides have been great. Especially Ken, Yuko, and Keiko. Keiko was so the perfect combination of knowledgeable and fun! Perfect for our group. Ken was also very interactive and knowledgeable. He was also great worth the teenagers. Yuki in Tokyo was a treat as well.

Ken T.

Thank you for your wonderful remarks. As a team, we always try to provide the best experience to our guests. Unlike big cities, Shimizu is a port that is accessible to scenic beauties like Mt. Fuji area, where you can stretch yourself in nature. There are more to see. I hope you have another chance to come in future. Ken Takahashi
