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!

“Best Time in Tokyo with Shusaku”
We spent 2 days with Shukasu as our tour guide and that was the best decision we made about our Japan trip. Without him we would have been so lost; he helped us to get the Suica cards, talked a lot about Japanese culture and he showed us around places we hoped for. He listened our wishes and made them happen, arigato gozaimasu we are already missing your company!:)

“Amazing guide! ”
We had such a great day with Shu. He was flexible with changing up our tour location based on the rain and as we walked he explained things we would have missed and not noticed on our own. He made it fun and interesting. Great guy!

Jazz kissa crawl: quiet listening + conversations
Join me for an evening of deep grooves as we move around Tokyo, exploring a few of the city's storied jazz kissas in a vinyl-inspired take on a pub crawl. Jazz kissas are intimate listening bars built around carefully curated records and high-quality sound systems, and have been an integral part of Tokyo's jazz culture since the post-war era. Each is its own world, shaped by the owner's tastes and philosophy. By visiting a small selection, you'll experience their different expressions.
