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.

“Excellent service!”
We had a great time touring Itoshima with Morry. He was experienced and could provide us with details on the places we toured. He’s not only thoughtful but very accommodating within the engaged timeframe. Will surely want to travel with Morry again.

Angeline-San Thank you for joining my Itoshima Peninsula tour. The weather was good and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and fresh seafood. Let's meet again if we have the opportunity.

“Excellent tour of Nanzoin, Dazaifu and Tochoji”
Morry is an excellent tour guide. He is not only knowledgeable but also as an added bonus performs his magic tricks. We had an awesome tour and look forward to booking more tours with him in the future. Thank you Morry-San.

Thank you for joining me on my Dazaifu - Nanzoin - Tochoji tour in my car today. I enjoyed your surprise at the champon noodles for lunch. Please come to Fukuoka again in the autumn foliage season. I will be waiting for you. The Kakigoya (Oyster Hut） will be waiting for you, too.
