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!

“Excellent Custom tour”
We had a great time with Shusaku! He accommodated our schedule, was very patient while we shopped for an endless number of chopsticks, and he was very helpful navigating the city. We went to Tsukiji market, Akihabara, and Asakusa. He also took great photos of our group along the way that we will cherish (and post on social of course!). He was engaging and a pleasure to be with. We’d highly recommend Shusaku as a guide.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! As a Japanese person, it made me truly happy to see your son enjoy chopsticks so much. If this became a good memory for you, then that makes me very happy as well!

“On day alone in Tokyo ”
I had one day alone in Tokyo to get a lay of the land before meeting up with a larger group. I luckily paired with Shu, who showed me around and made me feel at home! I felt like a true local. He was so friendly and totally understood that I wanted to visit neighborhoods that were more ‘local’ for an authentic visit. He navigated the trains so we could cover a lot of ground! Everywhere from Ginza to Shibuya and beyond. He expertly steered me toward all the Japanese foods to try, sampling some tasty treats at the Tsukiji market and amazing Japanese curry in Shimokitazawa. If you are fortunate enough to book him you’ll have a great experience and enjoy his chill vibe!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly made my day. I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring Tsukiji and trying Japanese curry .it was such a pleasure to guide you. I really appreciated your curiosity and great energy throughout the day. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan and take home many delicious memories!

“Day of Shopping all over Tokyo”
Shu was fantastic!! He asked him to help us with shopping for very specific items all over Tokyo. He mapped out the stores and locations to maximize our shopping time. He helped navigate the trains and translated for us the whole day. He also took pictures/candies of us throughout the day and made it such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Shu!!!

Hi Jon! Thank you so much for the nice review! I’m very happy if I could help you even a little. I was glad to meet such a lovely couple. Please send me a message anytime if you need anything. I hope our paths will cross again!

Hi, my name is Tak. I have seen travelers. And, I found they got tired of typical sightseeing spots, like crowded temples and shrines. There must be spots fit to your feeling and interests, more in Japan. Then, I’d like to propose. Why don’t you start unique and original tour, only your hearts bring to yourselves? . I had guided Pokemon tour Ghost story tour Inari Shrines tour Live house tour Bento (lunchbox) tour Textile tour Papermaking tour I’ll search the site you want to see and create your unique itinerary. First, could you give your message about things you want to do and see in Japan? Let’s make great time you can’t never forget. Thank you so much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling and I walk about this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of gigantic tree, a beer bar in an impressive old house, unique souvenir shops, cats living in Yanaka and many, many other attractive spots in this area. You can expect a day that nobody read in guide books. So! I hope you name me as the navigator of your fantastic memory-making-tour!!!! I’m 61-year-old and I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the location and occasion according to your mood and boom.

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.
