Tokyo is one of the world’s safest major cities - yet it is also one of the most crowded, high-visibility, and logistically complex environments on earth.With millions of people moving through trains, business districts, luxury malls, and nightlife zones, VIPs can quickly become exposed - especially celebrities, business executives, wealthy families, and high-profile travelers.
R&H Global Protection provides elite Israeli bodyguards, former IDF Special Forces and Shin Bet, operating with total discretion, cultural sensitivity, and advanced threat detection tailored to Japan.

R&H Global Protection Advantage: Israeli Expertise
We at R&H Global Protection understand that a formula would fall short in terms of being capable of getting the job done in achieving security. Our approach to offering bodyguard protection and executive protection services in Tokyo is founded on the four corners of unparalleled experience, acquired through training and street-level experience gained in Israel's rigorous security environment.
Israel, pre-empting the future global and local threats, has created some of the globe's best security professionals. Such training instills in our teammates a positive mindset, unequalled expertise to execute good judgment in evaluating threats, and a remarkable history of experience conducting counter-threat operations. Our guards are not merely security personnel; they are expertly trained security professionals with the expertise to detect danger, respond quickly in flexible operations, and utilize advanced methods of customer protection.
Parts of our practice that we take from our Israeli heritage are:
Proactive Threat Assessment: We don't respond after threats materialize; we prepare and act ahead. Relevant pre-mission threat gathering and analysis are conducted by our operators, in which inherent weaknesses are determined and overall measures of mitigation are established that are relevant to the Japanese terrain and client profile.
Most Invisible and Culturally Sensitive Operations: We value the importance of being culturally sensitive in operating within the Japanese culture. Our security personnel are culturally sensitive and function at the highest level of discretion, often undetected in situations where there is hyper-sensitization to security surveillance penetration. This allows clients to do business without the choking feeling of the presence of security.
Top-Class Training and Preparation: Security officers with us are heavily and regularly trained in a range of courses such as close protection training, evasive driving training, emergency first aid, and counter-surveillance. This prepares them for anything they face, from navigating through busy city center traffic to responding quickly in sudden emergencies.
Strategic Planning and Logistics: Proper planning is the key to successful executive protection in Japan. All logistics, i.e., secure transportation, monitoring of routes, security reconnaissance at destinations, and standby, we arrange so that everything is nicely planned considering the comfort and safety of the client.
Global Coverage and Local Connections: Even though we have Israeli roots of experience, we maintain a number one priority emphasis on local knowledge. We have an extremely widespread global network of local connections in Japan, always within the scope of all local law and with excellent on-the-ground information and facilities.
