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 guided 1,420 people with 17 groups totaly in 2017and 1,600 people in 1018.

Through long work for travel business, I was assigned to excursions of all over Japan, such as Sapporo, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Okinawa and others, which gave me intimate knowledge about most places in the country.

In addition, I am adept in business fields and knowledgeable about historical sites, traditional culture and modern subcultures in Japan.

My wife is a disabled person with an intractable disease who needs 24-hour nursing care.

Our daughter takes care of my wife while I am guiding.

Even if my schedule is free, I may not be able to take the tour on days when my daughter cannot cooperate.

Please ask me first. If it is possible.

Reviews

Great evening with Morry!

My wife and I had a great time on our Yatai tour! Morry is a local from Fukuoka and has a LOT of experience and stories to tell about the city. The food selection was really good, we took all his suggestions and were not disappointed. From all the Yatai spread across Fukuoka (more than a hundred in a wednesday evening without rain), he guided us to the local, traditional ones. We even had bonus information about the Kushida shrine and other cities we will go visit after. For a first hand experience, and go get a REALLY GOOD ramen, ask Morry!

Thank you for your wonderful review. I welcome you again on your first visit to Japan and hope you enjoy the rest of your authentic Japan experience.

An unforgettable Yanagawa and Dazaifu tour with the wonderful Morry

We had an amazing time exploring Yanagawa and Dazaifu with Morry! He shared so much insight and made every stop enjoyable. From the canal ride to the shrines, everything was perfectly organized and full of charm. He’s knowledgeable, very friendly, and made the experience so much more meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover the beauty and history of Fukuoka.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm sure you enjoyed the Yanagawa River cruise in good weather. And thank you for the eel lunch. Unfortunately it was raining at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, but it was good that it wasn't too hot. I look forward to guiding you again.

Old Town Hakata with Morry

Morry is a great guide. Knowkedgeable, entertaining, patient. Hour group of 21 enjoyed the itinerary, the pace, and his magic tricks. Will definitely book him again
