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!

“Bar hopping Tokyo tour”
We had a fantastic time with Shu on the bar hopping tour. He was flexible to our schedule and group needs, and showed us a great time at the bars he selected. He also took many group photos on his camera and was kind enough to send them to us right after the tour. Of note: golden gai may not be able to seat large groups due to the small bar sizes.

“Fun Time at the Bar”
We focused on Omoide and Golden Gai. It was fun to sit down, drink and eat. Ended up in a whiskey bar and had a great time interacting with a local.. We felt we could be loose with Shu around!
