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 for your wonderful review. I hope your tour of Yanagawa and Dazaifu was memorable. I hope to see you again in Japan in the near future. Arigatou Gozaimashita.

Nice way to find good yatai (plus useful info and some bonus magic!)

Morry was fun and easy to chat with. The Yatai stalls he chose were excellent. He also had a ton of great info about Fukuoka and about Japan in general which was interesting and helpful for other parts of my trip. And if all that isn't enough, he does magic!
