Takachiho is a popular tourist destination in the mountains at the northernmost tip of Miyazaki Prefecture.

Sediments from the volcanic activity of Mount Aso flowed into the Gokase River area and were eroded over the years, creating a valley with cliffs 80 to 100 meters high that stretch for about 7 km.

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.

Reviews

“So much more than simply a guide!! ”

My husband and I spent the most incredible day with Morry. We started by touring the Nanzoin temple, explored almost the entire coast of Itoshima, and ending the night indulging in the most amazing ramen I could’ve only dreamed of before tasting it for myself. Originally I thought to book Morry simply for the convenience of Having him drive of to these locations that are more difficult to reach. The day we had far exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could have hoped for. Morry is more than a guide, he is a teacher of all things Japan from history, to language, to culture, food and etiquette. He was our interpreter when the language barrier became difficult for us, but also taught us some Japanese phrases that will surely be helpful through our future journeys. He is an entertainer both a comedian and a magician who had us laughing and smiling all day so much my cheeks hurt this morning. He was our photographer throughout the day taking fantastic photos we will cherish forever, and after spending a full day with him I now consider him a friend. If you want the best guide in Fukuoka Morry is most certainly your man.

Morry is a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. We had a very enjoyable day and an excellent Ramen lunch. He even did some magic tricks.
