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.

“Authentic Yatai Experience with a Fantastic Guide”
I joined the Yatai stall tour on my own and had such a memorable evening thanks to Morry. He knows Fukuoka inside and out, and it really showed in the places he chose — each stop had its own character, great food, and stories behind it. Even as a solo traveler I felt completely comfortable and included, and I enjoyed hearing his perspectives on the city’s history and daily life. If you want a relaxed, authentic introduction to Fukuoka’s nightlife and local culture, this tour is an excellent choice.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. If you have the opportunity to come to Fukuoka again, there are plenty of other places worth visiting, so I hope you'll check it out.

“A day in Fukuoka ”
Morry made our day in Fukuoka very special, he was very puntual at cruise terminal, picked us up and took us arround, we started the day very early and visited all tourist attractions with no rush, he even entertained us with his magic treats, he was wonderful!! We were a group of 8 and he helped us renting a van, and that helped us moving efficiently.

“Great evening with Morry!”
My wife and I had a great time on our Yatai tour! Morry is a local from Fukuoka and has a LOT of experience and stories to tell about the city. The food selection was really good, we took all his suggestions and were not disappointed. From all the Yatai spread across Fukuoka (more than a hundred in a wednesday evening without rain), he guided us to the local, traditional ones. We even had bonus information about the Kushida shrine and other cities we will go visit after. For a first hand experience, and go get a REALLY GOOD ramen, ask Morry!
