Omijima
Omijima, located in the center of Kitanagato Coast Quasi-National Park, has a circumference of about 40km and is also known as the "Sea Alps." It is home to numerous works of art, including caves, cliffs, stone pillars, and strangely shaped rocks carved out by nature, making it a veritable large-scale natural art museum.
Local seafood restaurant
How about a fresh sashimi set meal at a local seafood restaurant?
If seafood isn't your thing, they also have meat and noodle dishes.
Motonosumi Shrine
It was founded in 1987 by a local fisherman after he received a prophecy in a dream. The sight of 123 vermilion torii gates lined up on the cliffs facing the Sea of Japan is a spectacular sight, and the shrine has been selected as one of the 31 most beautiful places in Japan.

Tsunoshima Bridge is a scenic 1,780m-long bridge that connects Honshu and Tsunoshima in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The contrast between the blue sea and the white bridge is beautiful, making it a popular spot for cycling, walking, and photography.

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.

“Fukuoka Day Trip”
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.

If you are looking for an English speaking guide, Morry is the best! He customized our trip and everything was planned perfectly. Morry is very knowledgeable and also entertained us with his magic tricks. We highly recommend this tour with Morry as your guide.

“Autumn leaves viewing at Kiyomizu-dera Temple Honbo Garden”
Morry gave us a perfect day in Fukuoka. He was punctual, professional, and so much fun. He managed a smooth tour for all eight of us. We saw everything at a relaxed pace and were even treated to his clever magic tricks. The entire experience was smooth, fun, and utterly memorable. Highly recommend!
