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

“ Japan Culminates Our Dream Travel”
Sorry for a late reply. We did not feel well when we got home after this long journey for two months in Asia. However, our trip in Japan culminates our dream travel. We picked up our Cruise line in Yokohama and traveled around Japan in 12 days. We were hunger for more and decided to make a three-day stops in Tokyo. I search well to find GoWithGuide for a full guided one day tour with Mr Masato. Perfect. He is the right person to travel with and he guided us on the spots we like. My husband wants to see the famous bronze statue of Hachico, the famous Akita dog in Shibuya. This town has a lot to offer: famous Shibuya Crossings, which again me husband has to make his own marked on the famous crossings and the food/tour places. Mr Masato knows Tokyo well, at the Meiji Shrines, he shared the Shinto culture, landmarks and proper ways and observing respected places. A very memorable stop. Our final stop was at a Tea time, fancy but worth it. A pastry chef (expert in pastry making and design). Tasted a very selected tea. Mr Masato, thank you for a wonderful time. Edgar & Adora

“All you can eat with Masato san”
Mr. Masato was a great guide today. He showed me around Tokyo with great energy and reliability. We ate at many places and I was very impressed with Japanese cuisine. A highly recommended tour! P S please forgive me Mr Masato for the changes I needed last week. I appreciate paying me back for the tour expenses. Hopefully I made up for this with the food I offered. Thank you.
Masato N.
Hi Apollo, I hope you enjoyed the various casual foods in Tokyo. Please come back to Japan again, as there are still many other delicious foods to be found. 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.
Masato N.
Hi Estefania, Thank you for your kind words. Please enjoy the rest of the days in Japan. Masato

Wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) Experience
Japanese traditional sweets, Wagashi in Japanese, are very popular among tourists from overseas not only ladies but gentlemen. In a Japanese style tea room, a well trained confectioner for a long time will make Wagashi just in front of you. It is very rare experience.
