About Tour Guide Masayuki S.

Hello!

Just send me a message of where and what you wanna do!


——-

I was born in Japan and grew up in the United States.

After returning to Japan, I've worked all across the country. I spent a year traveling around Japan in a car that I DIY-converted into a camper. I hope to share the experiences and the knowledges of how to enjoy our culture to the most with people from all over the world.


I would like to introduce Japan's beautiful tourist spots that you can enjoy in every season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—along with local delicacies beloved by the people in each area, and how to enjoy the unique cultures rooted in each region, such as: sushi, wagyu beef, cherry blossoms, rich milk bread, fluffy pancakes, convenient store's meals and snacks, maid cafe, izakaya(restaurant specialized to drink an alcohol), sake factory and so on.


I can create an original itinerary based on your interests! I’ll guide you with my private van anywhere in Japan from Hokkaido(top part of Japan) to Okinawa(bottom part of Japan). Without being restricted by public transportation schedules, allowing for more freedom in your travel. This is something only someone who has traveled the entire country, like me, can do! I’ll support you to the most, so please enjoy your time in Japan to the fullest!

Nagoya City Tour

Masa was simply amazing!! Full of knowledge and extremely friendly, he was also very flexible with the schedule. Masa helped me to dive deep into the culture, we visited Nagoya Castle, tried street food and helped me with some shopping items as well! I would highly recommend Masa and this tour was definitely a 5 out of 5 for me. Thank you Masa!!
