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!

“Izakaya hopping ”

Shuzaku san was very knowledgable where to find interesting places where you would never find as a tourist. He speaks great english so communication was smooth, despite the rain he was very helpful in guiding me around Shinjuku, he also has his own camera which is convenient for travelers. I would definitely book him again for other tours.

“Perfect day with the family - fantastic! ”

For us the best way to experience Tokyo with family We booked Shusaku-san as our private guide in Tokyo, and he turned our trip into the highlight of our whole journey. Our 12-year-old son is completely obsessed with Pokémon and arcades, and Shusaku didn't just tolerate it, he embraced it like a true fellow trainer. He took us to the best spots for Pokémon fans and arcades, and our son was beaming all day. At the same time, he showed us the cultural side of Tokyo and took us shopping, so we parents got exactly what we were hoping for too. Everyone left happy (and with slightly heavier bags ;-) What really sets Shusaku apart is his warmth and humour. He's open, genuine and easy to talk to, casual and relaxed, yet always responsible and attentive, especially with our son. By the end of day one it felt like exploring the city with a friend rather than a hired guide. He was incredibly flexible, happily adjusting the plan to our mood and energy, and he was reachable whenever we needed him, which gave us real peace of mind in such a huge city. If you're visiting Tokyo, especially with kids, I can't recommend Shusaku highly enough. Thank you, Shusaku-san, for making our trip so special. We hope to see you again!

Shusaku M.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and all your kind words! It made me so happy to see your son enjoying Pokémon cards, claw machines, Famichiki, and onigiri! I had such a great time exploring Tokyo with your family. Thank you for choosing Japan for your family trip and for joining me on this adventure in Tokyo. I'm truly grateful that I could be a part of your family's special memories. If you ever need any help during your stay in Japan, please feel free to message me anytime! I hope to see you and your family again someday! ArigatoGozaimasu!!
