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.

“Fukuoka Day Trip”
Morry-san provided a complete package. He was a knowledgeable tour guide, and entertaining magician and comedian. We enjoyed all the places he took us to. He also took us to a ramen place in Fukuoka that did not disappoint. We will surely book him again in future travels in Kyushu Island.

“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!
