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!

“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.

“Street Market Experience”
Terrific! We asked Shu to take us to some less touristy areas for street photography. What an excelent day. He brought us to colorful street markets where there were amazing opportunities to experience old Japan. He was so helpful in asking permission of locals to make potraits. His warm, outgoing personality unlocked the interactions in a very friendly way. We finished with the best ramen of our trip. Thanks so much, Shu!
Shusaku M.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. I really appreciate it. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to spend the day with both of you. I had such a great time. I will treasure the cap you gave me—thank you again for your kindness. If you ever come back to Japan, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s go for ramen together again someday! Thank you again for everything. Arigatou Gozaimasu!!

“Amazing half a day tour with Shusaku”
Shusaku was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and always smiling. He showed us the fish market and Asakusa and made everything smooth and fun. He also brought a camera, took pictures for us (without us even asking), and sent them the same day. We truly enjoyed our time—highly recommend him!

Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets.
