About Tour Guide Ken T.
I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

“Best Tour EVER!!! ”
Ken T. was amazing with us. He was on time, very informative, knew the train system and explained everything as he went. Myself and my Son are from the states and he made us feel so welcome in Japan. If you need a tour guide, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND KEN T.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I cannot thank you both enough for being such an accommodating and nice guest. I am so glad that our tour went well and you felt welcome in Japan. I hope to be your tour guide again, when you decide to come back to Japan in the future.

“The most perfect guide for your day in Tokyo ”
Ken-san was the best guide I have ever had from every country I have visited till to this day.He’s fluent in both English and Japanese. I asked for a personal tour and he had scheduled the most perfect plan just as I wanted.And he knows which shop is the best when it comes to shopping. He has a great knowledge of the places in Tokyo and helped me a lot to learn about facilities in Japan. He was able to make each moment of the day filled with joy by his sense of humor and laughs. It felt like I’m traveling with my best friend than a guide. He’s a huge fan of the most goated anime JoJo bizarre adventures. And don’t forget; his favorite colour is red haha If you are traveling in Japan without Ken-san as your guide ,think again ! Thank you so much Ken-san. Most definitely willing to meet up again in future and go for Karaoke. 健さんは、私が今まで訪れたどの国でも最高のガイドでした。英語と日本語の両方に堪能で、私は個別のツアーをお願いしたところ、私の希望通りの完璧なプランを立ててくれました。ショッピングに関しては、どのお店が一番良いかを知り尽くしています。東京の観光地についての知識も豊富で、日本の施設について学ぶのにとても役立ちました。健さんのユーモアと笑いで、一瞬一瞬が楽しいものになりました。ガイドというよりも親友と一緒に旅行しているような気分でした。健さんは、最も素晴らしいアニメ『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』の大ファンです。そして、忘れないでください。彼の好きな色は赤だそうです、(笑笑) もし日本を旅行しているのにケンさんがガイドでないなら、もう一度考え直してみてください。 健さん、本当にありがとうございました。未来でまたお会いできるのを楽しみにしており、カラオケにも行きたいです！

Thank you very much for your kind comments and sharing details about the tour experience. I am humbled with the very nice feedback you kindly provided. I am so happy that you liked our personal customized tour plan. I really appreciate this experience as it made me much more confident about the various list of appealing things that travelers to Japan might possibly want to see, whether it is shopping or sightseeing. I am glad that both of us truly enjoyed each other’s company. Inspired by your wide range of interest in Japanese culture, including but not limited to manga and animation, I will work on developing my knowledge about big manga titles other than Jojo! Thank you so much, Yoshisuke-san! I agree. We should meet up again in the future for Karaoke. I hope you have a great time filled with a lot of fun memories, for the rest of your stay this time in Japan (and the next times on). 身に余るような大変あたたかいお言葉、フィードバックを頂戴し、本当にありがとうございます。今回の個別ツアー、プランを気に入っていただけたようで、とても嬉しく思います。今回の経験で更にショッピング、観光場所の知識にも磨きがかかったように自信を深めることができ、感謝しております。私も吉助さんとは波長が合い、仰る通り、古くから知っている友達のように、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。日本のことをよくご存じで、寧ろ私の方が色々と教えていただきました。（今度は話にあがった、ジョジョ以外の漫画もみてみたいと思います。）日本語も本当にお上手で、初めての来日とは思えない、もう何年も日本に住んでいるのではないかという流暢さ、ご見識でとても驚きました！ はい、私もぜひまたお会いできることを楽しみにしております。

Hello, my dear would-be guests! My name is Hiroko. People call me Hiro for short. I am a government licensed guide. Here I am to make your time in a tour full of fun and provide you an unforgettable travel experience of your life. I grew up and live in Yokohama that is adjacent to Tokyo. After many years of several English-related job experiences, such as translating, teaching, desk work, etc., I finally found this job, tour guide, which is a perfect fit for my true nature. I love meeting people, having fun with people, and am always looking for something interesting wanting to share it with people. How about spending a part of your precious time here in Japan with this cheerful, friendly and well-informed tour guide, Hiro?

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!

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..
