About Tour Guide Masaharu N.
Hello, My name is Masaharu.
I am the National Licenced Tour Guide and Interpreter in English.
I used to stay in London, UK for 14 years on business.
This valuable experience gave me great passion for talking to many people with entirely different culture and historical background.
Therefore, it is my great pleasure to show foreign tourists from all over the world exciting tour spots by featuring traditional as well as modern faces of Japan.
Let's share together history, culture, natural beauty and seasonal delicacy of Japanese food.
See you in Japan soon!

Reviews
“Great tour with a great guide!”
Masaharu was a top notch tour guide for our day together in Tokyo. He knew the best spots and background of each site, including Tsukiji, Asakusa and much more. Our day was extremely hot and humid and he was very accommodating for our group, giving us time to rest and cool off when needed while still getting us to and from our multiple stops. You can't find a better guide. Thank you Masa!

“Excellent Guide”
Thank you so much Masa-San for 2 wonderful days in Japan! Our family of 7 had great memories to visit Hakone and Tokyo the first time. We even learn and enjoy to navigate Metro and train in Tokyo. Masa-San help us to organize the trip 2 months before our visit. He is very dedicated to make sure all of my 5 children have a good time and enjoy best food in Japan. I highly recommend Masa-San and his tour. His English is excellent. Thank you very much. Tuyet Nguyen.

“one day city tour”
I had one day in Tokyo, and best thing I did was to hire Masa to take me around. Don't bother to try to do this by yourself.
