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!

“Really fun evening discovering hidden gems”
Shusaku was excellent! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. It was great to visit local places we never would have found as first-time tourists who don’t speak the language. Shu also took lovely pictures of during the tour and shared them immediately after. All-in-all everything was great!

“Shinjuku ”
We had a great time exploring Shinjuku with Shu! Finding vegetarian food in Tokyo isn't always easy, but Shu customised the tour and found us some delicious veggie Gyoza. He then took us to some unique bars we'd never have discovered on our own. Highly recommend for a fun night out.

“Feeling like a local for a night!”
We had such a great time with Shu! He took us to a few different neighborhoods where he talked about the history and enjoyed delicious food and beverages with us. Shu has an inviting energy that made us feel right at home. We would highly recommend using Shu for a guide, especially if you want to have a very fun night!
