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.

One-day tour in Tokyo with a focus on your preferred shopping and entertainment.
“Excellent day out with Naoto ( aka Ken )”
From start to finish the whole day was very enjoyable and informative. Naoto took great care in showing us a huge selection of Japanese history and culture along with the modern side of Japan. His English is excellent and his manner is one of kindness and great humour. He tailored our tour to suit our requirements which was to see and experience the non tourist areas to give us a sense of the Japanese way of life and he certainly did that with style and grace. We finished the fantastic day by celebrating with Naoto in a British Pub, Japanese style and a great day was had by all. Thank you Naoto for a brilliant experience and Mandie and I wish you well for your future tours.

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf. I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s. It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season. Especially in spring time, cherry blossoms in full bloom welcome you. Japan is a safe country, meals are very delicious, and you can explore Japanese great history at the spiritual places of shrines and temples. Please contact me. You are assured to have an enjoyable and memorial trip. I'm looking forward to having wonderful time with you. See you!
