About Tour Guide Andy kenji M.
Hi!! I'm YOUNG!! Yup, a guide that is not old hahaha. Well not that young.
41 years old: still have energy & vigour and havent lost my marbles hahah.
I'm half Japanese & half Australian and I've been a trilingual tour guide for 6yr
(I'm new to this site but, I have 2 tours that have won many international awards on the biggest review website in the world)
I love to show my unique perspective of Japan and share incredible & unforgettable experiences with friends, family and tourists.
My rule is if you don't enjoy my tour, you don't pay!!
I have a deep understanding of the inner workings (both history & food) of these areas after living more than 12 years here.
I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge of the back alleys and hidden gems of the Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe ) ...so much so locals are even shocked & amazed.
By giving you a truly, unique, amazing insider experience... I hope that my tour will be the absolute highlight of your Japan stay:)

Andy kenji M. Japan Tour Reviews
“Flexible and fun”
Did the tour with Adam because Andy was under the weather the day of our booking. I had requested a custom tour because I was with my 88 year old parents and it was the peak Sakura week and I was concerned about crowds. Andy and Adam made sure we hit the main highlights requested by my family and customized accommodating the pace of the tour and navigating with two wheelchairs. Highly recommend!

“Interesting and informative”
Andy was a great guide, and our family of 5 adults thoroughly enjoyed our tour wiith him. Andy's enthusiasm for, and love of Japan was evident throughout the tour. He was easy to understand and was happy to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend Andy's deep back street Osaka tour if you want to see and learn about a part of Japan off the 'beaten path'.

“Terrific evening with Taka”
Taka met us on time. He was incredibly well spoken and enthusiastic. He led 6 of us to some great small restaurants, explained the food as well as the available drinks, and was able to answer all of our questions about ingredients and cooking styles. We were stuffed and everyone in our group loved all of it. This tour was lots of fun and Taka was the best!
