Hello! My name is Kent. I am a master of Tea ceremony and Ikebana(Flower arrangement) as well as a software developer. I have been learning these cultural activities for more than 10 years. I have assisted with tea ceremonies at a Zen temple and participated in Ikebana shows for tourists. These experiences have provided me with extensive knowledge and deep insights into Japanese culture developed under the influence of Zen.
While I studied these cultural traditions privately, I majored in engineering and earned a degree in the field from Kyoto University. My days in Kyoto has made me familier with local lives and cultural activities.
After graduating, I worked in robot software development, collaborating remotely with our American colleagues in Michigan. I also engaged with clients and local sales teams in Germany, India, and China. They showed strong interests in Japanese culture and my background. This exposure deepened my appreciation for Japan’s rich cultural heritage, inspiring me to guide tours as well as practicing cultural activities.
Now, I live in Shinjuku, Tokyo with my wife, enjoying life here. I joined a robot startup and am working flexibly as well as guiding. I will guide tours to convey the history and culture of Japan and provide creative experiences.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“Great Day in Tokyo with Kent!”
Sure! Here's a polished version We had a fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Kent as our guide. He took us to interesting and unique places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. He was helpful, kind, and incredibly patient throughout the day, adding different spots for us. Kent made everything smooth and enjoyable, and we felt very well taken care of. We truly appreciated his calm and friendly approach, and it was clear he loves what he does. We highly recommend Kent to anyone visiting Tokyo – 5 out of 5!

Thank you so much for your kind message! Even though it was hot, we had a fantastic time :) Your family showed such great interest in Japanese pop culture. I still can't believe you won those cute plushies at the crane machine—what a moment! I'm so glad you enjoyed shopping in Shinjuku. It was wonderful to see you all having such a great time today. Enjoy the rest of your celebration trip! Kent
