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.

“Amazing day!”
Morry was exceptional — well planned, humorous, a historian at heart, and incredibly interesting throughout the entire tour. We visited Tochoji Temple, Jotenji Temple, and Kushida Shrine, and Morry brought each location to life with fascinating stories and historical context. A particularly memorable moment was when Morry performed a chant at Jotenji Temple, which we found deeply moving and unforgettable. Morry was accompanied by Mai, an apprentice guide learning from a seasoned professional. Mai was warm, engaging, and helped guide us to a wonderful local lunch spot that we never would have discovered on our own. It added such an authentic touch to the day. Thank you, Morry and Mai, for a fabulous day in Fukuoka. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the city, its history, and its culture.
Masatoshi M.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm glad you both enjoyed the old town of Hakata. Please come to Fukuoka again if you have the chance. I'd be happy to show you around. Morry

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.
