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 Best Guide in Toyko!! ”
We had an amazing time on the Tokyo Highlights tour with Shu. From the moment we met, it felt more like hanging out with a friend than being on a formal tour. Shu is incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo, its culture, and hidden spots, and he explained everything in a really engaging, easy-to-understand way. The street food was absolutely amazing — some of the best food we had in Tokyo — and Shu knew exactly where to take us. We laughed a lot, learned a ton, and saw parts of the city we never would have found on our own. If you want a fun, authentic Tokyo experience with a guide who genuinely loves what he does, Shu is the one to book. Highly recommended. Bobby

“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!
Shusaku M.
Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. I was truly happy to be able to enjoy the Shinjuku night together with both of you as well. Both I and the kaishain will always be looking forward to your return to Japan. Let’s go out for fun drinks together again! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Arigatou Gozaimasu!!!

“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!
Shusaku M.
Thank you so much for the lovely review! I genuinely had a wonderful time with you and really enjoyed our day together. It was a pleasure meeting you, and if you ever return to Japan, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you an amazing rest of your journey here! Arigatou Gozaimasu!!!!!!!!!
