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.

“Wonderful day seeing Saga with Morrie”
We wanted to visit potteries in Arita and Karatsu (Saga prefecture). Morrie delivered in a big way. He was responsive to our interests, he was punctual and he knows alot. He is an excellent driver, his car is comfortable for two people and his English is great. We highly recommend him as a guide.

“もりさんはいちばんです!”
Mori-san provided my friends and I with a wonderful introduction to Fukuoka yatai, history, and culture for our first night in Fukuoka! He left us with excellent recommendations for future meals, pointed out famous and historical areas, and taught us the proper way to enter a shrine, wash our hands, and how to pray. His magic tricks were mind blowing also! ありがとうございます、もりさん!

Thank you for the wonderful review. Unfortunately, my favorite yatai wasn't open, but I'm glad you've become a fan of Hakata's yatai culture and Japan in general. Enjoy Japan even more! ありがとうございました。ブラナさん またあいましょう。
