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!

“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!

“An excellent guide!”
We booked Shusaku at the very last minute and it all worked out. He was friendly, engaging, offered us several options, and was just "fun" to be around. We were in Tokyo on a very hot day and he made sure to balance showing us around and keeping us cool as best he could. We hope to see him again and would definitely recommend him for your tour. Thank you "Shu" for taking care of us and making our time with you memorable!

Masahiro N.
Hallo!Zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro. Mein Nickname ist Masa. Ich war nach meinem Studium in Tokio von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Da ich solch eine Brücke zwischen deutschen Räumen und Japan sein möchte, mache ich diesen Job als Reiseführer. Ich habe das Gefühl,dass das eine Mission meines Lebens ist. Ich habe Erfahrungen meine Kunden zu führen , in Tokio, Kamakura, in der Nähe von Fuji-Berg, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe und Nagasaki….und so weiter… Ich wohne jetzt in der Nähe von Tokio . Deswegen ist es mir einfach, in Tokio und in der Nähe von Tokio zu führen. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente , neue Entdeckungen, Begegnungen, sogar einen Kulturschock! Ich freue mich sehr auf unsere Reise in Japan!

Kaneo U.
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.
