Hi!
I'm Kenta from Japan.
Just call me ‘Ken’ It’s easy.
To be honest, I’m not a professional guide, and my English is still a work in progress.
What I can offer is a friendly experience and good company.
I always try my best to make sure my guests enjoy their time in Japan.
I was born in Tokyo and raised in Ibaraki pref.
After graduating from a high school in Ibaraki,
I went to a university in Tokyo to study music.
After that, I worked part-time jobs related to music, and finally became a resident DJ in Shibuya, organizing various events and also working in lighting and sound.
I have also performed alongside world-famous artists that everyone knows.
After working as a DJ for several years, I started a company that imports plants.

I import them and wholesale them to businesses.
I have traveled to many countries around the world since my DJ days.

John, thank you so much! It was a pleasure spending time with you, even though it was only for a short while. I wish I could have shown you a few more places, but what matters most is that you enjoyed your time in Japan. It was really great meeting you! If you ever come back to Japan, I’d be more than happy to show you around again. I hope to see you again someday!

“Tour of Yokohama to narita”
Kenta was a great guide, picked up us after our princess cruise, took us to a shrine, shopping, and was very flexible. We wanted to buy a particular jacket, he took us to couple shopping centers and even help us looking for the store in the center. He got us on time to Narita for our flight. We highly recommend his services.
