Hello, my name is Kenta Suzuki. I was born in Osaka but grew up for most of my life in San Francisco. I have a background in the arts (photography and music) and can take memorable photos for clients during tours and guide the city through the eyes of a photographer. With my multicultural background, I will be able to guide tours through the eyes of both a Japanese local as well as someone from the outside. I enjoy learning about my own culture and other cultures as well and would love to be able to assist in journeys that allow a mutual understanding of our cultures.
Kenya was wonderful. Grew up in the US so his English was perfect! He was masterful with transit. We saw so much in a short time. He was very attentive to our needs, as my husband and I are older, and slowed his pace when we started getting tired. He shared so much knowledge of Kyoto with us and mixed it with simply enjoying the day. Highly recommend, just make sure you are ready to walk many, many Kilometers.

Kenta guided us through Kyōto and showed us the most attractive places. We could ask him many questions which he answered with his broad knowledge about the Japanese culture and history. Special to mention that he was very flexible supporting our wishes. Excellent English without accent was another plus.

Kenta put together an excellent itinerary for our private tour, perfectly crafted to what we asked for. He knew lots of interesting facts, was great at answering our questions, and seemed to enjoy the sights as much as we did. He also saved the day when one of us left our phone in a taxi, and we needed to recover it from the police station.

It was a wonderful walk in Kyoto. Kente - our guide (I hope I spelled his name correctly ) was very good and very knowledgeable - I was here with Japanese friends who did not speak English well and our guide was fluent in English and Japanese which made our experience very special and communication easy! I learned a lot about this beautiful place!
