About Tour Guide Shusaku M.
My name is Shusaku. I was born and raised in Osaka, where I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the beautiful landscapes and rich culture of the region.
During my travels to 10 different countries, I came to realize the importance of listening to the locals to truly understand the culture and charm of a place. This experience taught me that local knowledge and experiences are invaluable in building a deeper understanding and connection while traveling.
In my tours, I make it a point to not only showcase the popular tourist destinations but also to share insights into the everyday lives of locals and the culture of the region. By incorporating stories and knowledge from locals, I aim to provide a more enriching travel experience.
My mission in life is to foster a deeper understanding of the world through travel and to build connections with people from different backgrounds. I look forward to creating unforgettable memories and sharing new discoveries with all of you!

“Wonderful Time! ”
We had such a great time with Shu that we booked him a second time. With his help, we were able to do so much more than had we just been on our own. He knows the best restaurants, great shopping spots, and tourist attractions. I will not hesitate to book him again if we are lucky enough to do another trip to Tokyo. Shu was great company and a wonderful guide. Our family consist of three teenagers - he was able to relate to everyone making the tour very enjoyable. Thanks Shu!

“Fun, slice of life tour with friendly guide”
We loved our tour with Shu and I would highly recommend him. He was accommodating, super friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible — all great qualities in a guide. Shu customized an izakaya/bar tour to match our interests. His English is excellent so he not only explained things well to us, but he also translated so we could talk to the waiters, bartenders, and other patrons. That made us feel like we were experiencing a real slice of life and not just doing a typical tourist thing. In fact, we were the only non-Japanese in each location we visited. I would take another tour with Shu.

It was a pleasure guiding you and helping with communication. Hope to see you again someday , let’s explore more next time! Arigatou!!!!!!

“Shu is the best!!!”
Shusaku (Shu) met my wife and I at our hotel in Ginza and we asked him to walk the area with us and take us to various bars and restaurants and basically just help us get our bearings around the city. He was full of interesting info about Tokyo (and Osaka) and knows the cities very well. He is absolutely one of the nicest people we’ve ever met and he’s got a great sense of humor. He’s very entertaining and lots of laughs were shared. He also brought a nice SLR camera and took numerous pictures and sent them to us. That was a really nice touch and he didn’t charge extra for it. He also helped us learn some basic Japanese phrases and introduced us to some foods we’ve never had. It was really nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of in terms of things to do/not do based on our preferences. We will absolutely be referring him to our friends. Shu is the man, and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!
