Dig your records from the city of music treasure
People say Tokyo is the city with the most record shops in the world. But these shops are scattered around the city and most of them are hidden at the corner of the street. Your guide support your treasure hunt. I know Tokyo street and I can translate you and store staff. I'm a long time Jazz fan and I have general knowledge of all genre music.

Shibamata is located at east end of Tokyo wards, and at there you can feel the daily life of good old Tokyo. There is a famous Taisyakuten temple and known as a home town of "Tora-san" who is one of a most famous movie character among Japanese. You can also try riding Yagirino-Watashi, man power ferry between chiba and Tokyo. I hope this tour will give you a new point of view to Japan and Japanese with compact schedule.

“Knew the city well....great local insight...good English skills”
Mutoh was consistent and reliable on our pre meeting conversations. I had to change my hotel two times and he did not flinch. He made great choices on maximizing our time there and was of immense help on us understanding our next twelves days in Japan. I have been a guide for over sixteen years and it is through this lens that I highly recommend him. Should I come back for a future visit I will mostly certainly look for him to guide us.

Kevin, thank you so much for your warm comments! Actually I enjoyed guiding you myself and it’s more than happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the day! I’m on the way back from Kyoto by another tour. It’s getting cold these days in Japan and winter will come soon. Please take care your health and come Japan again!

“Tokyo with Mutoh”
This is our first time in Tokyo and we enjoyed sightseeing with Mutoh. From start to finish he is a professional and a gentleman. He is very prompt in getting back to you when you book a tour. He is on time, creates an itinerary and presents it to you in case you want to make any changes. He is friendly, flexible abd always makes your safety and welfare number one. He watches to make sure you are getting off and on the subway safely. He points out things that are happening that are unique to your visit. A beautiful wedding at the shrine or an upcoming election. He teaches you about proper etiquette, some easy phrases and words to use when you need them. Mutoh is a gentleman, he has manners and is polite and respectful. He also laughs, has fun and has a great sense of humor. Mutoh is an excellent guide. If you are fortunate enough to hire him you will enjoy a perfect day in Tokyo! Mutoh will design an itinerary with a great mix of culture, arts, history, and souvenir shopping if you like. He takes many photos to capture your vacation. We are baseball fans and Mutoh, even as busy as we were kept us updated on the score of game one of the Workd Series! We enjoyed a delicious lunch and caught an exciting extra innings walk off home run finish! Mutoh is your Guide for a memorable visit to Tokyo!! Thanks for the perfect day. K & G

Kathy, George, Thank you so much for your warm words! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Watching the World Series together at the market food court was a very lovely memory for me as well. It was the fantastic moment! I think the journey continues. Please take care of yourself and enjoy it to the most. Please come to Japan again. Sayonara!

“A wonderful day ”
Mutoh was an exceptional tour guide who made our day in Tokyo truly unforgettable. His knowledge of the city was impressive, and he was able to share fascinating insights into Tokyo's history, culture, and hidden gems. Mutoh was also incredibly accommodating and patient. He was always willing to answer our questions and adjust the itinerary to suit our interests. We felt like we were exploring the city with a friend, rather than a guide. We highly recommend Mutoh to anyone visiting Tokyo. He is a true asset to the city and made our experience there truly special.

Ken T.
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.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..
