The tower is inspired by the Eiffel Tower and remains a symbol of Japan's post-war rebirth. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting the city.

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 April 2025, I’ve guided over 1,600 foreign travelers (340+ tours), offering comfortable, customized experiences by car.
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 an experienced driver — my wife — so you can relax while I guide you through each location.
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 helping make your visit to Japan smooth, memorable, and deeply rewarding.

“Don’t miss the opportunity to meet 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.

Dear Juliette, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a true pleasure meeting you on your first day in Tokyo.

“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.
Ken T.
Dear Chris, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and your wife. 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

“Tokyo to Mtn Fuji”
Ken is outstanding in his knowledge of Tokyo, but where he is best is determining his customers personal preferences, limitations for physical activity, attention to personal needs and planning well ahead of customer arrival. He is an excellent listener and very good English.
