About Tour Guide Masatoshi M.
I had worked for the Japan's biggest travel agency JTB (Japan Travel Bureau) for 35 years as a tour escort for Japanese.
I visited 68 countries and of course all over Japan as well. So I’m familiar with almost all of the tourist attractions in Japan.
More over I’m also a professional magician now. I’m a member magician of The Magic Castle in Hollywood in US. That's why I made a decision to become an English tour guide.
I acquired a tour guide license issued by the Japanese government with a lot of hard work in 2016 and I started from the following year.
I work as an English guide approximately 130 days a year.
My wife is physically disabled, and I usually care for her.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I receive home care and bathing services, so I am unable to go out during the day as I have to prepare for and clean up afterwards.
I am available to guide on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I can take up to four people sightseeing in my private car.
I am available at any time during evening tours, such as YATAI tours.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Please ask me first. If it is possible.

“Autumn leaves viewing at Kiyomizu-dera Temple Honbo Garden”
Morry gave us a perfect day in Fukuoka. He was punctual, professional, and so much fun. He managed a smooth tour for all eight of us. We saw everything at a relaxed pace and were even treated to his clever magic tricks. The entire experience was smooth, fun, and utterly memorable. Highly recommend!

“Authentic Yatai Experience with a Fantastic Guide”
I joined the Yatai stall tour on my own and had such a memorable evening thanks to Morry. He knows Fukuoka inside and out, and it really showed in the places he chose — each stop had its own character, great food, and stories behind it. Even as a solo traveler I felt completely comfortable and included, and I enjoyed hearing his perspectives on the city’s history and daily life. If you want a relaxed, authentic introduction to Fukuoka’s nightlife and local culture, this tour is an excellent choice.

“A day in Fukuoka ”
Morry made our day in Fukuoka very special, he was very puntual at cruise terminal, picked us up and took us arround, we started the day very early and visited all tourist attractions with no rush, he even entertained us with his magic treats, he was wonderful!! We were a group of 8 and he helped us renting a van, and that helped us moving efficiently.
