About Tour Guide Ken T.
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 April 2025, I’ve guided over 1,600 foreign travelers (340+ 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 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 making your visit to Japan safe, smooth, and deeply rewarding.

“Wonderful Time in Tokyo”
Ken was very easy to work with and went out of his way to accommodate us. He did so with a great big smile and went along with our needs and desires to be able to see the sights we wanted and the experience we wanted to have to have a taste of Tokyo life. His wife also is so kind and patient with us. We were able to experience a one day tour of Tokyo and was able to sample a good amount of Japanese delights. I would highly recommend him and his wife for a very good job well done. We would certainly ask him to do another tour with us in the future should it happen! We're hoping!

Dear Arthur, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words and it was my great pleasure to guide you and your lovely family around Tokyo. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed experiencing a taste of Tokyo life and Japanese culture. My wife and I both had such a good time with you — your warm smiles and positive energy made the day so pleasant for us as well. We sincerely hope to see you again in the future and would be delighted to guide you once more whenever you return to Japan. With warmest regards, Ken & Sachi

“On Time! Good Tokyo Driving Strategy.”
Had a great Tokyo Cruise Port pickup with Ken T. in the morning (9am) for the day with an early (2pm) afternoon drop off at Haneda Airport for a flight home. Saw the sites we wanted to see, since we had been to Tokyo before, and he accommodated and adjusted his timing with us. His communication with us beforehand was concise and accurate.
Ken T.
Dear Oren, Thank you very much for your kind review. I also truly enjoyed guiding you that day. Coincidentally, it was the same day former U.S. President Trump was visiting Japan, and there were many traffic restrictions in Tokyo — but fortunately, we were able to reach Haneda Airport right on schedule without any issues. You’ve traveled to many countries, and I hope you’ll visit Japan again in the future. Wishing you all the best and continued wonderful journeys. Warm regards, Ken

“Great Experiences!”
We hired Ken for two consecutive tour days in Tokyo, including car and driver. Ken is an excellent guide and I highly recommend using him. His wife, who is the driver, was also wonderful. Ken was very easy to work with in the planning stage of our visit. He drafted the perfect itinerary for us given our preferences and the weather forecast. He even had backup plans if the weather changed and he also allowed for same-day flexibility. The restaurants Ken picked for us were perfect and everything was delicious. Each day Ken added a lot of information about what we were seeing and experiencing plus he added interesting information about culture and history. In addition he took great photos and videos of us at each venue. Ken and his wife were truly a pleasure to be with. We are so happy we had them to introduce us to and guide us through amazing Tokyo!
Ken T.
Dear Mary-Ellen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review — I truly appreciate your kind words. It was a great pleasure guiding you both for two days and sharing some of my favorite places, foods, and stories about Tokyo. My wife and I are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary, restaurants, and the flexibility of the tour. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and relaxed, and your message means a lot to us. We hope the rest of your trip in Japan was just as enjoyable, and we would be delighted to see you again someday — perhaps in Kyoto or another region of Japan! Wishing you wonderful travels ahead! Warm regards, Ken
