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!

“The Right Tour and Guide for Kabukicho!”
Without this tour, we wouldn't have been able to get into some of the beautiful spots that only locals would know about. Shu is the right man for the job! Highly professional, great personality and smart. He keeps the journey fun with good conversation and is super relatable and down to earth. He also takes awesome pictures which is especially a highlight for my wife. We learned about the history and culture of the area while at the same time enjoying some delicious food and interacting with some of the local Kaishain, who kept pouring our drinks for us hahaha. Hilarious! Highly recommend this tour and we will definitely be back for the same guide again next time we're in town. Thanks Shu!

“Great experience with delicious food ”
Shusaku picked us up conveniently in our hotel lobby and guided us via subway to the market. It was an easy, laid back, and informative experience from start to finish. We loved all of the vendors he suggested - you can tell he knows the best ones to go to, and we had a fun and engaging conversation while strolling through the market. He felt like a friend we’ve known for years and we would highly suggest his services!
