About Me: Welcome to Tokyo. Your time here is precious, and my mission is to make every moment count. My name is Keiji. I am a private guide dedicated to crafting seamless, deep, and personalized travel experiences for discerning guests. I offer a unique blend of skills: With a background in Mechanical Engineering, I manage tour logistics with precision and logic to ensure a stress-free day. Yet, as a certified Reiki healer and Dual Pilgrim, I also focus on the "invisible" atmosphere—helping you connect with the deep spiritual energy of Japan. Why guests choose me: A "Dual Pilgrim" Perspective: I am a passionate walker who has conquered both UNESCO pilgrimage routes. I walked 1,000 km across Spain (Camino de Santiago) in 2019 and completed 130 km of the Kumano Kodo in the summer of 2025. These experiences taught me resilience and true hospitality. I bring this energy and endurance to every tour. Beyond History: At shrines and temples, I don’t just recite dates. I interpret the "Ki" (energy), the metaphysics, and the spiritual presence of the land, offering a narrative you won’t find in guidebooks. Your Trusted Partner: Think of me not just as a guide, but as a local friend with professional standards. Whether we are navigating the neon lights of modern Tokyo or the silence of a Zen garden, I adjust the pace and content entirely to your interests. My Background: Logic & Precision: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Musashi Institute of Technology. (Ensuring smooth planning and time management). Active Dual Pilgrim: Certified completist of both UNESCO World Heritage routes. Spain: Camino de Santiago (approx. 1,000 km, 2019) Japan: Kumano Kodo (approx. 130 km, Summer 2025) Wellness: Certified Jikiden Reiki Healer. Communication: English (TOEIC 805 certified). I love deep conversations about culture, science, and metaphysics. Transportation Note: I specialize in walking tours and utilizing Japan’s world-class public transit for an immersive experience. For your comfort, I can arrange a luxury private vehicle and driver upon request (additional fee applies). I look forward to welcoming you to Japan and creating an unforgettable journey together.

Our tour was amazing. We saw so much in one day. Our guide Keiji planned the day perfectly. We did a little of everything; Hama-Tokyo gardens, tea house, tsukiji outside market with incredible food, the subway, senso-ji- temple, Kura sushi, Meiji jingu shrine, Shibuya crossing, Shinjuku kabukicho and even more. He taught us and remained true to Japanese customs at the temples and shrines, which we really appreciated. He gave us choices of walking or taking the train. You can tell he loves doing this tour. His energy was exciting but calm and relaxed. Our day really couldn’t have gone better.

Keiji created this tour for a wheelchair user. The only thing he was told is that we wanted to experience the Tokyo vibe. And he nailed it! A temple for history, conveyor belt sushi, Iyoshi cola, shopping tour of Ginza, Sky Tree and finishing with the Shibuya Crossing. All while using the metro to move about. We loved spending our day with Keiji and learning all he had to share. He made visiting Tokyo in a wheelchair a memorable experience.
Rob B.United States
Keiji was great! We were a group of four and it was our first full day in Tokyo. He made things so easy showing us how to use the trains and taking us to numerous spots around Tokyo. He is a genuine person and will tailor the tour to what you want. If it’s your first time, he will make you feel it and walk you through everything. By the end of the day, it was just like we were hanging out with one of our friends from home.
