About Tour Guide Shusaku M.

“Best tour ever”

Shu was fantastic and so gracious. My husband & I and our 2 adult daughters had a 5 hr tour. He met us at our Airbnb and we took the train to Tsukiji Mkt. Shu knew the best stalls for tuna, Wagyu, shrimp tempura, grilled crab etc. We ate our way through very casually. He never rushed at all. Then train to Asakusa to see the oldest temple and walk around more pedestrian only shops. At this point we were past 5 hrs but Shu asked me if we were ok and if so he was and would take us to Ueno. We all had so much fun talking with him and sharing stories and pictures. He was literally the best guide I’ve ever had and I travel a lot and try to start new cities with a guided tour.

“An Absolute Treat”

On our second visit to Tokyo, we were fortunate enough to have Shusaku guide us for the second time, in a completely different area to our first tour with him two years ago. Shusaku gave us a wonderful night seeing the sights and bright lights in these famous Shinjuku areas, trying a variety of drinks and foods at three bars. Each one had a different atmosphere and added to our experience of the area, and each one was also full of locals enjoying the house specialties. A highlight was the hot sake with a burning blowfish fin, and another was entering a bar that I wouldn't have known was there or even found if I had known it was there, a truly hidden spot. I won't spoil the surprise by describing more, but I will say you can trust Shusaku to curate an experience that you cannot find as a foreigner without a guide. Shusaku is also considerate in every way, and very good company. Thanks again, mate, for an absolute treat!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. They truly mean a lot to me. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to have you back in Japan and to have the opportunity to guide you again. Time flew by, and I had such a wonderful time with you both. It makes me very happy, as a Japanese person, to know that you love Japan and continue to enjoy your time here. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you come back to Japan or if you ever need anything. Thank you again for such a wonderful time. I’m already looking forward to seeing you again!

“A Shu-in for your Tokyo guide!”

Shu was a perfect guide for our family of five’s first day in Tokyo! He was right on time to meet us at our hotel and was super friendly right off the bat. With great energy, Shu showed us around a couple of districts- a good combination of both the old and modern Tokyo. He also had great tips for food stalls and restaurants. Thanks for an memorable intro to Tokyo!
