Feel free to ask me anything
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!

“On day alone in Tokyo ”
I had one day alone in Tokyo to get a lay of the land before meeting up with a larger group. I luckily paired with Shu, who showed me around and made me feel at home! I felt like a true local. He was so friendly and totally understood that I wanted to visit neighborhoods that were more ‘local’ for an authentic visit. He navigated the trains so we could cover a lot of ground! Everywhere from Ginza to Shibuya and beyond. He expertly steered me toward all the Japanese foods to try, sampling some tasty treats at the Tsukiji market and amazing Japanese curry in Shimokitazawa. If you are fortunate enough to book him you’ll have a great experience and enjoy his chill vibe!

“Day of Shopping all over Tokyo”
Shu was fantastic!! He asked him to help us with shopping for very specific items all over Tokyo. He mapped out the stores and locations to maximize our shopping time. He helped navigate the trains and translated for us the whole day. He also took pictures/candies of us throughout the day and made it such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Shu!!!

“Fantastic Bar Tour”
We had a great time on the bar hopping tour with Shushaku. He showed us some fantastic places where we got to try many different types of foods/drinks, and he explained everything in detail answering every question we had. We had some specific requests about places we wanted to go and Shushaku was happy to help. Not only did he do a fantastic job as a tour guide but he also took loads of great pictures along the way for no extra charge. Genuinely a really nice guy, who made us laugh and the perfect drinking buddy.
