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!

Reviews

Easy going gentleman and he took photos of us!

I reached out to Shu because I wanted help exploring Tokyo. I had done some research before the trip, but it still felt overwhelming. I didn’t want to spend my time trying to figure out the subway system or deciding which restaurants to eat at. Shu took all of that stress away and allowed the two of us to simply enjoy the city. He explained how the subway system works and shared local traditions when it comes to dining and visiting temples. He also customized our itinerary to fit exactly what we wanted to experience. He met us at our hotel right on time and even brought along his SLR camera to photograph our day. From there, we were off to explore. I will definitely be recommending him to all of my friends.

Thank you very much for writing such a wonderful review. I truly appreciate it. I was also very happy to have the chance to meet you. If you ever come back to Japan, I would be delighted to show you many more places. Please give my regards to your son as well. Thank you ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!

Custom tour for 15-year-old birthday

We had an amazing time with Shu! He reached out a few days before our tour to confirm our meeting location and time, and he was already there and found us before I even had a chance to message that we’d arrived. After spending nearly a week in Tokyo, we wanted to do something different to celebrate our son’s birthday—and Shu absolutely delivered! He took us to spots and attractions we hadn’t experienced yet, including an arcade we never would have discovered on our own. He then brought us to what will surely be the dining highlight of our entire trip. To top it all off, he joined us for an hour of karaoke, drinks, and dessert to end the night. Thank you for making our son’s birthday one he will always remember!

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. I was truly honored to meet your family, and it was a real joy to celebrate your son’s birthday. Singing karaoke together, especially 'STAY WITH ME,' became a really special memory for me as well. Please feel free to reach out if you come to Japan again. Please give my regards to your two sons and your wife.

tokyo marathon!!

we requested a custom guide experience with shu for the tokyo marathon. i was racing and my husband was spectating. we asked shu if he could navigate around the city with my husband during the race and they ended up seeing me on the course FIVE times (which is a lot if you’re a marathon runner trying to see your loved ones on the course). Shu did an amazing job planning the locations they will be at during the race as well as finding me with ease after the race. And of course we celebrated post-race with izakaya and beers! Shu is extremely professional, kind and has a wonderful personality. not only did he make our race day experience seamless, but his local knowledge improved the remainder of our stay. Shu is the best!!

Hi Hanna, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I was truly happy to meet you and your husband. And congratulations again on finishing the marathon! Since the Tokyo Marathon, I’ve been running every day, and I’m thinking about joining the Tokyo Marathon myself next year. It was truly an honor to be part of such a special moment and to meet such a wonderful couple. Please feel free to message me anytime! ArigatouGozaimasu!!!!
