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.

Thank you very much for your great reviews. I hope your family enjoyed Beppu Jigoku, Yufuin and my magic.
“An excellent day with Mr Morry”
My family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our customised tour of the Itoshima peninsula with Mr Morry. He took us to many amazing places within 6 hours. He is very well read and knowledgeable and we learnt many new things from him. He was so kind to patiently explain interesting facts of the shrines and other places we visited. There was never a dull moment as he kept us entertained with magic. He also shared with us interesting dining places in Fukuoka and other areas to visit when we next come to Japan. I strongly recommend Mr Morry as your guide.

Thank you for leaving a great review. I enjoyed the tour just as much as you did. Luckily the rain stopped and the blue sky, deep blue sea and white torii gates of Futamigaura were very beautiful in the afternoon. Please come again in mid-March during the cherry blossom season.
“Had a great time with Mr Morry.”
Mr Morry is an excellent guide. My family and I enjoyed our Yatai Store tour. Mr Morry is very knowledgeable and provided us with information of Hakata.

Than you such for your review. I'm glad your family enjoyed the YATAI tour. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.

The city center of Fukuoka is divided into Fukuoka and Hakata. Fukuoka was a samurai town of the Kuroda clan of the Fukuoka domain, while Hakata has a long history as a merchant town and an international trading port, with many shrines and temples established there.

This tour is as accessible as possible, with as few steps as possible. I have had the experience of accommodating people in wheelchairs and on crutches many times. I believe that you will be satisfied with not only the choice of locations but also the consideration given during the tour. I hope that more people will be able to experience the wonderfulness of Japan and Fukuoka.
