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.

“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。

“Itoshima trip with Mr. Morry ”
Had a great day exploring Itoshima with Mr. Morry! He was friendly, helpful and made the whole trip really enjoyable. He also surprised us with some magic tricks along the way, which was a really fun touch! Thanks, Morry, for making our Itoshima trip so memorable. Highly recommended!
Masatoshi M.
Thank you for joining us on our Day trip to ITOSHIMA. And thank you for leaving such a wonderful review. I'm glad we were able to visit all the planned locations and even Momochihama Seaside Park. Please let me know if you have another opportunity to come to Fukuoka. Morry

“Amazing Introduction to Yatai and Fukuoka”
We came out of the tour not only well-fed after sampling some Fukuoka specialties, but also with a better understanding of local history and Japanese culture thanks to Morry, who was a perfect guide. He picked stalls that gave us a variety of options while he kept us thoroughly entertained with his conversation and a bit of impressive magic. The 2.5 hours flew by because it felt more like having a good extended meal with a friend than being taken on a tour. Thanks to Morry, we were able to enjoy conversations with other customers and communicate with the yatai owners. Morry made sure to provide us with interesting background information about yatai, specific dishes, the area, and Japanese culture in general, but always in the course of conversation rather than as a canned lecture. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the tour and would welcome the chance to hang out with Morry again. Logistically, his communication was clear and consistent from the moment we booked the tour. We received messages about the proposed itinerary, meeting possibilities, directions, and even suggestions about other things we could do during our stay. The whole process was seamless and always personable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Hi Josh san I'm truly humbled by your wonderful review. I'd be happy to share the information I have in case it's helpful for your trip. Please contact me if you have the opportunity to come to Fukuoka again. I'd love to show you even more places to see in Fukuoka and throughout Japan. Morry
