Hello! My name is Ken (Kenichi), and I’m a professional tour guide with experience guiding over 1,500 foreign tourists as of February 2025.
I have worked for both Japanese and international companies in Tokyo for over 30 years, giving me deep insight into the city and its unique charm. I also love traveling and have explored many famous destinations in Japan as well as in 40+ countries worldwide.
I fully understand the challenges that many first-time travelers face when visiting Japan, especially in a busy city like Tokyo.
My goal is to provide you with a fully customized, time-efficient tour that meets your needs and preferences.
Since most travelers have limited time and want to visit as many places as possible, I carefully plan tours that highlight the best spots and the most efficient routes, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
For added comfort and luxury, I offer the option of using a car with an experienced driver (my wife), making your tour even more convenient and stress-free.
I look forward to guiding you and helping make your visit to Japan truly memorable.

“Ken is great”
We loved Ken for our guide. He knows all the hidden spots whether it is a maid cafe or anime specialty stores. We also hit sky tree and temple. He has lots of knowledge and goes extra mile for you. He knows how to avoid busy times and gave us great tips prior to and after our tour. He’s a great photographer and send you a link with the pics. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure guiding your group, and I’m honored to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Although both Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa were quite crowded that day, I was so happy to see how everyone stayed cheerful and enjoyed the experience together. The weather was a bit cloudy at times, but we were lucky to catch glimpses of blue sky—and of course, it was the perfect timing for the cherry blossoms, which I hope added a special memory to your trip. I'm also glad to hear you appreciated the visit to the maid café and anime stores—it’s always fun to explore the unique sides of Tokyo! If the photos I took bring back good memories, I’ll be very happy. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope to see you again on your next visit to Japan—and please don’t hesitate to share my name if your friends are planning a trip too! Warmest regards, Ken

Professional Courteous Punctual Willing to customize tour based on patient and detailed discussions, meticulous planning, and efficient execution can be few attributes that I wish to start describing my experience about Ken We had a customized ALL DAY TOUR of TOKYO. Wonderful couple (Mrs. & Mr. Ken) picked us up at Yokohama Cruise Terminal in their luxury van, and patiently spent entire day with us. The extent to which they made real time changes to driving directions based on traffic congestion was quite impressive Above all ........ willing to go ABOVE & BEYOND every step of the way to ensure a memorable experience for us was very very impressive! Being a seasoned guide he knew exactly how to avoid congestion, crowds, as well as exact photo spots, and thereby helping us save time in a busy schedule Keeping in mind that Tokyo is very populous and hectic on any given day, having Mrs & Mr. Ken as our Guide made the entire experience a breeze! Bottomline: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Period!

Dear Venkat-san , Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. It was truly an honor to guide you on your final day in Japan, especially after your long cruise journey. We were blessed with perfect weather that day — clear skies and full cherry blossoms, just at their peak. While it was a shame that the crowds made it difficult to fully relax and take in the scenery, I'm very happy you still had the chance to enjoy the beauty of sakura during your visit. I also appreciate your recognition of the flexibility and care we put into adjusting plans to make the most of the day. Your warm and respectful attitude made it a pleasure to guide you throughout Tokyo. Wishing you many more safe and memorable travels ahead. I sincerely hope our paths cross again one day. Best regards, Ken

We were unsure what to do on our last day in Tokyo since we had a 4pm flight from Narita. In the end, we booked this private tour and are so happy we did. It completely took the stress out of our final day in Japan. Ken was super helpful and communicative in setting everything up, picked us up from our hotel, and took us out to see Narita Temple, a temple with over a thousand years of history. The temple grounds are quite vast, with many structures, and there is also a beautiful Japanese garden with a large pond. Ken's knowledge of the area (and his excellent English) made the experience even more enjoyable. Sachie, our driver, was incredibly kind and ensured a smooth and safe journey throughout the tour. When the tour was over, we were dropped off at our terminal for a stress-free, no-hassle airport commute! Overall, one hundred percent recommended. Thank you, Ken and Sachie, for a perfect end to our vacation!

I’m delighted to hear that the tour to Narita-san Shinsho-ji Temple and the seamless transfer to Narita Airport made your last day stress-free and enjoyable. Exploring the temple’s rich history and tranquil gardens with you was a highlight of the day for me as well. I’m so glad you found the experience memorable and that my insights added value to your visit. Sachie and I are thrilled to know that you appreciated the smooth journey and safe drop-off at the airport. Your kind words mean so much to us, and they inspire us to continue providing the best possible service for our guests. Thank you again for choosing our tour as the perfect conclusion to your vacation. If you ever return to Japan, we would be delighted to guide you again. Wishing you many more wonderful travels ahead!
