About Tour Guide Katsunori F.
Hello, My name is Katsunori, a national licensed guide in English. Just call me “Fuji-san”, the same as Mt. Fuji-san.
I worked and lived abroad more than 15 years mainly in the United States, Australia, Abu Dhabi, China and Malaysia. During those days, I communicated many local peoples and felt a lot of different cultures and thinking ways. I was interested in this multi culture circumstance. I also visited many places, some of them were on business purpose, and the others were as private travels. Visiting new places always gave me new discoveries and deep impressions, and I really like these feelings. I would like the visitors to Japan to feel such impressions, and I would like to assist them – this is the primary motivation for me to be a tour guide.
One of my hobbies is trekking. One of the travels that made an impression on me was a mountain trekking at Nepal. I trekked 4 days through the hills over 3000m in Himalaya with mountain guide. Another nice experience was the trekking of Jungle in Sarawak island in Malaysia. The guides explained the natures such as plants, flowers, butterfly and insects of those areas in addition to the trails in both cases, and I really recognized the importance of the guiding. If the guides were not suitable, my memories on the travels might not be so nice.
Japan is really beautiful country. It has seasonal beauty according to the four clear cut seasons. The natures with historical buildings are beyond description. I really hope you, visitors, receive great impressions during your stay in Japan.
I can arrange any kind of tours – from half day city tour to mountain trekking. I will customize special tours for you with proper recommendations.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

“Walking tour of Asakusa, Kappabashi & Yanaka”
We had a great day with Fuji-san! He met us at the Yokohama cruise terminal and then showed us how to navigate the train and subway system to get to Tokyo. Once there we explored 3 different neighborhoods steeped in history and culture. We learned so much more than we would have wandering on our own. We enjoyed a great lunch in a very local restaurant together as well. He also made sure we had the directions to find our way back to Yokohama. It all worked beautifully! Would definitely recommend Fuji-san.

“Fantastic day with Fuji-San.”
My wife and I had a wonderful day with Fuji-San last week. He tailored the full day tour according to our wishes and what we wanted to do and see. He is extremely knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed spending time and talking to him . He is very kind, polite and courteous. We very much enjoyed spending the day and we plan to go back to Japan -when we do we will definitely seek out Fuji-San again!….Highly recommend!

Thank you for spending the time with me in Tokyo and giving a nice review. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it a lot. As there are many beautiful places in Tokyo/ Japan showing different charms depending on seasons, I really ask you to re-visit here in different seasons. Hopefully see you again!! Fuji

“A wonderful, thoughtful guide ”
Fuji was very kind and patient on our custom tour. We had some specific shopping requests, and he pointed us in the right direction. We were lucky to have him as our guide

I'll be your culinary guide, leading you to the best-hidden eateries where you can indulge in authentic dishes that will tantalize your taste buds.

Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!

I grew up in the UK, and have lived more than ten years in the UK and USA on overseas assignments. While I lived abroad, I started to realize how shallow my knowledge on Japanese culture, beliefs, history and food was for a Japanese resident, whenever I tried to respond to the questions my foreign friends had about Japan. For the last 20 years I’ve been doing a lot of domestic travel visiting areas that I’ve never been before, and studying history and culture, as well as enjoying Sake from all parts of Japan. From 2015, I intensified my studies of Japan, and in 2017, successfully received government certification as a qualified guide on Japan. Thinking it would help my studies as well as be beneficial for visitors to Japan, I opened a website titled “Rediscovering Japan” in 2016 to record my travels and share my experience with travelers to Japan. To date I have covered 25 of the 47 prefectures in Japan. I have found that rather than just visiting tourist spots at random, it is much more interesting if you have a clear theme of the places you are going to. I hope you'll enjoy the visits with me to rediscover Japan!
