Great experience!
Ken and Sachie were amazing! Ken is full of information, planned our day great based on crowds, and we had a blast! We have friends coming in a few weeks and we’re definitely going to recommend they spend a day with Ken!

Dear Barry, Thank you very much for your kind review. It was truly our pleasure to have guided you and your family. We were also very fortunate to have such beautiful weather, and the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom — a perfect timing for your visit. I’m especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the day, and it means a lot to us that you would recommend us to your friends. We would be delighted to guide them as well. We hope to see you again in Japan in the future. Warm regards, Ken and Sachie
Ken is amazing, he knows Tokyo and especially the history
10 star experience, we saw Tokyo from a locals view, Ken knew the Ins and outs of each attraction, how to sidestep the crowds to really see each amazing site. He was a 10 star guide, just great. I will recommend him to everyone I know that is going to Japan

Hello Dwight, Thank you so much for your wonderful review — we truly appreciate your kind words. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you. We were very lucky with the beautiful weather, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I’m glad you could experience Tokyo from a local perspective while comfortably avoiding the crowds. I also hope your wife was able to enjoy Tokyo Skytree — I understand that heights can be challenging. Since this was your first visit to Japan, I believe you now have a better sense of the country, and on your next trip we would love to show you even more fascinating and unique parts of Tokyo. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. We hope you will have a safe and pleasant journey home and that your memories of Japan will stay with you for many years. You are always welcome back anytime — we would be delighted to guide you again. Warm regards, Ken
A Day in Tokyo with Ken and Satchi
It was a wonderful day. With Ken acting as guide and Satchi driving, the day set up perfectly. We arrived at each location easily and were picked up when we were picked up when we were ready to move on. There were no delays lookinng for parking. Ken was very informative about each location and its history. We were able customize an itinerary prior to the day. They met us at the cruise terminal with a car that easily held our luggage. After a five hour tour, they dropped us at the airport. Ken took photos along the way and emailed them to us as a momento. It was the perfect way to use the time between the ship’s arrival and our evening departure for Tokyo. I highly recomend Ken and Satchi.

Dear Gerard & Barbara, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Although it was a relatively short tour, we truly enjoyed spending time with you. As we are around the same generation, we felt very comfortable talking with you, and it was a very enjoyable and memorable time for us as well. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the efficient style of our tour with Sachi driving and myself guiding. Thank you also for your kindness and flexibility throughout the day. We sincerely hope you had a pleasant flight home and that you will have another opportunity to visit Japan in the future. Warm regards, Ken & Sachi
What a wonderful introduction to Tokyo - both day and night
I simply cannot convey enough positive comments about Ken T. and his wife who introduce a friend and me to Tokyo during mid-February. Ken responded immediately via gowithguide.com regarding my booking request and follow up questions. He provided all information necessary for our outings. Impressively, when my arrival in Tokyo was delayed by a day due to an airline delay, he offered to take my friend and me out the next night and the following day. We were so very grateful for his flexibility. Ken provided wonderful photography opportunities to us for both night and day photography. The resulting photos will serve as wonderful memories for many years!!! In addition, Ken’s car was immaculate; his wife was a very safe driver; and the entire experience was FABULOUS. I highly recommend Ken!

Dear Anna, Thank you so very much for your incredibly kind and generous review. Your words truly mean a great deal to both my wife and me. It was our absolute pleasure to introduce you to Tokyo — both by day and night. Guiding passionate photographers like you is always a special experience for us. We are delighted that the images you captured will serve as lasting memories for many years to come. After Tokyo, did you enjoy your tours in Nagano and Hokkaido? We were thinking of you, especially knowing that winter wildlife photography can be quite challenging in the cold. I hope the weather cooperated and that you were able to capture some truly spectacular shots. I can only imagine how wonderful your results must be. If you ever return to Japan with your camera again, we would be honored to guide you. Warmest regards,Ken
Tokyo Highlights with Ken!
Ken is an absolute pro – and so accommodating! This is our second tour with him on this trip and he was amazing. Careful planning, listening to our needs and requests and so knowledgeable. Would recommend him to helping to make magic in Tokyo! He knew what to recommend and was very thoughtful to the group (ages 25-80) and we all had fun! Thank you, Ken!

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your wonderful second review — I truly appreciate it! It was such a pleasure guiding you and your lovely family again in Tokyo. I’m very happy to hear that everyone — from your mother to your daughter — enjoyed the tours and had fun together. Your family’s kindness and positive energy made the two days very special for me as well. I’m so glad that we could share the beauty of Tokyo’s autumn and create some memorable moments together. Please take care, and I sincerely hope to see you all again in Japan someday! Warm regards, Ken
