Getting around Japan has never been easier. The major cities and the tourist attractions are usually well signposted and you are bound to find a helpful English speaker nearby. With Google apps also in many of your hands, getting around Japan has never been easier.

Still, due to factors such as language barrier, difference in customs and poor usability websites, we hear many tourists facing all types of issues and difficulties in Japan, and his only gets worse the more rural you go and the further away you are from the main cities.

If you want a local English speaker always in hand
If you want your Japanese experience to be out of the ordinary
If you want to go more local and rural
If you are planning a spontaneous trip

I can be your local contact to assist you with your far east adventure!

WHO AM I?

Hi, I'm Ken.

I was born in Tokyo to a Japanese mother and a British father, raised in Fukuoka then moved to the UK when I was 15 to further my education.

After graduating from the University of Bath, I moved to London to work for a couple of companies before returning to Japan in 2015. I had been researching and analysing various aspects of Japanese football for a company based in London for about 10 years, but I have decided to move away from that industry due to always having an interest in the hospitality business. I now work for a hotel in central Tokyo which is giving me incredible knowledge of the hospitality and tourism industry.

I have experience in helping out tourists, sometimes leading a large group to make sure of a smooth running of the tour, both in the UK and Japan. Some of them were paid jobs offered by small local companies, but a lot were unpaid works where I would simply do my friends / colleagues a favour by looking after their associates during their stay in Japan.

Because my service was always appreciated by my clients, I have decided to take it to a more professional level to build a legitimate business.
