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!

“Shinjuku ”
We had a great time exploring Shinjuku with Shu! Finding vegetarian food in Tokyo isn't always easy, but Shu customised the tour and found us some delicious veggie Gyoza. He then took us to some unique bars we'd never have discovered on our own. Highly recommend for a fun night out.

“Great Day with Shusaku (Shu)”
We highly recommend Shusaku (Shu) for a personalized tour of Tokyo. After scheduling, Shu curated a personalized 5 hour itinerary based on our interests within one day for the following day. He was very easy to communicate with, and his English was excellent. Shu has a great personality, was fun to talk to, and was very knowledgeable. He efficiently helped us navigate to all the sites via train. An unexpected and delightful addition was Shu's photographer skills. He arrived with his own camera, and that night after the tour, sent us amazing photos from all the locations we visited. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
