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!

“The Best Guide in Toyko!! ”
We had an amazing time on the Tokyo Highlights tour with Shu. From the moment we met, it felt more like hanging out with a friend than being on a formal tour. Shu is incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo, its culture, and hidden spots, and he explained everything in a really engaging, easy-to-understand way. The street food was absolutely amazing — some of the best food we had in Tokyo — and Shu knew exactly where to take us. We laughed a lot, learned a ton, and saw parts of the city we never would have found on our own. If you want a fun, authentic Tokyo experience with a guide who genuinely loves what he does, Shu is the one to book. Highly recommended. Bobby

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a real pleasure meeting you and your family and spending time together in Tokyo. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan is filled with many wonderful memories. If you ever visit Tokyo again, I would be delighted to show you around. I hope we have the chance to meet again someday. Arigatou Gozaimasu!!!

“The Right Tour and Guide for Kabukicho!”
Without this tour, we wouldn't have been able to get into some of the beautiful spots that only locals would know about. Shu is the right man for the job! Highly professional, great personality and smart. He keeps the journey fun with good conversation and is super relatable and down to earth. He also takes awesome pictures which is especially a highlight for my wife. We learned about the history and culture of the area while at the same time enjoying some delicious food and interacting with some of the local Kaishain, who kept pouring our drinks for us hahaha. Hilarious! Highly recommend this tour and we will definitely be back for the same guide again next time we're in town. Thanks Shu!

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. I was truly happy to be able to enjoy the Shinjuku night together with both of you as well. Both I and the kaishain will always be looking forward to your return to Japan. Let’s go out for fun drinks together again! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Arigatou Gozaimasu!!!

“Great experience with delicious food ”
Shusaku picked us up conveniently in our hotel lobby and guided us via subway to the market. It was an easy, laid back, and informative experience from start to finish. We loved all of the vendors he suggested - you can tell he knows the best ones to go to, and we had a fun and engaging conversation while strolling through the market. He felt like a friend we’ve known for years and we would highly suggest his services!

Hallo alle meine Gäste! Vielen lieben Dank, dass Sie meine Profilseite besuchen! Ich heiße Ayami. Ich bin in Osaka geboren, aber in Yokohama aufgewachsen. Ich habe in Tokyo studiert, deswegen kenne ich mich gut auch in dieser Gegend aus. An der Uni habe ich Germanistik studiert. Mein erstes Mal in Deutschland war 2012, als ich Studentin war, und damals habe ich einen Monat in München einen Deutschkurs gemacht. Da habe ich viel erlebt und erfahrt und war total begeistert für die deutsche Kultur, Sitten, einfach alles, natürlich Leute auch :) Nach dem Studium bin ich nach Deutschland (München und Augsburg) geflogen, um richtig Deutsch zu lernen. In den Schulzeiten habe ich viele Erfahrungen in der Gastronomie gesammelt. In Deutschland habe ich als Kellnerin in einem japanischen Restaurant und Japanischlehrerin gearbeitet. Aktuell bin ich auch private Japanischlehrerin (ich habe auch einen Vertrag mit der amerikanischen Marine) und gelegentlich Reiseführerin. Mein Hobbies sind Reisen, Lesen, Kochen, etwas Süßes backen usw. Ich würde Sie sehr gerne Tokyo bzw Yokohama oder Kamakura und Yokosuka zeigen :)

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

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.
