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

Great orientation course

I did a decent amount of research beforehand, but like many people say, Tokyo can be quite overwhelming on your first visit. The 4-hour tour with Shusaku was excellent and really helped us ease into the city. We learned how to navigate the subway, proper etiquette in shrines and temples, and general do’s and don’ts. My wife and I had a really great time with Shu — he was very flexible and attentive to our needs. Looking back a few days later, kickstarting our trip with Shusaku on day 1 gave us the tools and confidence to enjoy the rest of the journey much more comfortably on our own. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m very happy I could spend your first time in Tokyo with you both. It means a lot to hear that the tour helped you feel more comfortable and confident during the rest of your trip. You were both so kind and wonderful to spend time with, and I truly enjoyed our time together. I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your journey in Japan. Thank you again very much!

Tokyo and Sushi making experience

Shu was an amazing tour guide gave us so many excellent recommendations and tips on how to use the amazing rail network to get around. He easily went above and beyond to make sure we all had a good time especially our two boys. The sushi making experience Shu organised was a very memorable experience and he took lots of photos of us the whole time we were together and shared them on the same day. We would highly recommend Shu as a tour guide for your trip to Tokyo :)

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending time with your family, and I’m very happy to hear that you all enjoyed the tour and sushi-making experience. Your two boys were especially lovely, and I had a great time showing everyone around Tokyo. Thank you again for choosing me during your trip to Japan. I hope the rest of your journey is amazing, and I’d love to see you all again someday! ArigatoGozaimasu!!!!

The perfect Guide to really experience Tokyo

Our family can’t say enough great things about Shu! What an amazing day working through the Tsukiji market and Asakusa. These places would easily be overwhelming, but Shu helped provide great background on the area, took us to the right food stalls for an amazing variety of different local dishes, and was just so personable. He offered to take pictures along the way, and was able to make changes to our plans as needed. Shu even stayed in contact with us after the tour to provide other recommendations or tips for our stay in Tokyo. We simply could not have asked for a better experience!
