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!

“ An Unforgettable Night in Shinjuku with Matsuura”
We had an incredible night in Shinjuku with Matsuura. He took us to authentic spots we would have never found on our own, every stop felt special and truly local. The food was amazing, and the drinks just kept coming. Matsuura was incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. We chose to invite him for food and drinks, and something we really appreciated was how respectful and considerate he was when ordering—very thoughtful throughout the night. The cherry on top was that he brought his camera and took photos of us during the tour, which he later shared. Such a great touch that made the experience even more memorable. We had the best time with him, the conversation flowed effortlessly all night. If you’re looking to experience Shinjuku’s nightlife in an authentic way, don’t miss the chance to go out with him. It’s 100% worth it.

“Exemplary experience!”
Shusaku was very friendly, funny and accomodating to our needs as a family of four adults. He showed us how to navigate the train system in Tokyo and showed us so many wonderful places in just a few hours. We all enjoyed his company and knowledge of the tourist sites. We highly recommend him to other travellers in Japan.

“We did the bar hopping and food tour with Shu.”
Shu was outstanding. He was fun, really well spoken and took us to places the general visiting public might miss. His English was excellent and he adapted to our interests. I don't think you will find a better person to tour this district with.
