About Tour Guide Masato N.

Hi, everybody,


It’s my great pleasure to take you to fantastic places and explain the interesting aspects of Japan. I love this job!


The scope of my work primarily covers Tokyo and its suburbs, and I offer both one-day and multi-day tours. I can also guide you to destinations outside Tokyo, such as Kyoto, Nara, or Himeji Castle. In such cases, you will need to cover my transportation, accommodation, and meals in addition to the guide fee.


We use a taxi or a private car on my urban tours to maximize efficiency. If you prefer to use a private car, please arrange it in advance. Japanese taxis are clean, driven by professional drivers, and generally more affordable than a private car.


In 2018, I was ranked number one in popularity on this matching site, GoWithGuide, due to earning five-star reviews from many tourists. The tourists say that it is because of my cheerful personality, humorous conversations, and extensive knowledge across various fields. This expertise is grounded in my diverse professional background:


Magazine reporter.

An executive aide to the CEO of an international advertising agency.

Manager of public relations and advertising for a multinational company.

Over forty years of work experience in Tokyo.


Additionally, I sometimes appear as an actor in TV dramas and TVCM. I have also published fourteen e-books available on Amazon, including four in English.


I have suggested some ready-made travel packages, but I prefer to propose a suitable travel plan for you after discussing your preferences.


Please, do not hesitate to let me know what you would like. I’m looking forward to meeting you very soon in Japan.


P.S. I had prostate cancer and after two years of treatment, my strength has almost returned to what it was before I had the disease, so I have decided to resume guiding tourists from July 1, 2024.


Thank you,

Masato

Meeting Masato

It was very pleasant to meet with Masato. He was very kind throughout the tour. We would've liked that Masato went deeper into cultural, geographical, or historical information related to the sights we were seeing. Despite the rain & bad weather, we had a good time with Masato and saw some beautiful breathtaking views.
