Hello, I am Masaharu, the national licensed English speaking tour guide. I was born and brought up in the suburb of Tokyo. After graduating from the university, I worked for a Japanese global logistics company where I had wonderful chances to stay overseas as an expatriate. I have stayed in London three times over fourteen years in total. A long time stay in London enabled me to interact with lots of people from diverse backgrounds and it highly broadened my horizons. Fortunately enough, I have so far visited 38 countries. The invaluable experience helped me deepen my view on a cross cultural comparison between Japan and overseas. Therefore, I am pleased to help you enjoy your stay in Tokyo as my return of the experience I was blessed with. Now, it is my utmost pleasure sharing your precious time with me and satisfying your interest to the best of my ability. How wonderful it is to see you excited! I love playing tennis, piano and travelling around Japan. It is my unforgettable memory that I spent much time waiting in a long queue to get a ticket for Wimbledon tennis tournament games over twenty times during my stay in London. As for travelling, I like visiting historical places and natural hot spring sites where I feel relaxed and also love to taste fabulous local specialty. I have a eighteen year old black & white cat named Jelly who was born and brought up in London. I brought him back to Japan. He took such a long journey with me all the way from London to Japan. He takes great delight in Japanese cuisine such as fresh tuna. Japan is a the pet friendly country. So, you can find plenty of pet cafes in the center of Tokyo like cat cafe, owl cafe, etc. Let's enjoy my tour together, featuring authentic Japanese history, interesting mixture of old and modern culture, natural beauty, unique coexistence of Shinto and Buddhism religion, and seasonal delicacy of Japanese cuisine. I am pleased to customize my tour flexibly according to your interest and request. If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy city, I will be delighted to take you to off the beaten track places where you can feel utmost comfortable and relaxed. Should you have any inquiries about my tours, please feel free to ask me. I would love to see you soon!

My family and I had a wonderful time with Masaharu-san for a full-day private tour of Tokyo with private transportation. He really put together a lovely, thoughtful itinerary that took into account the varied ages of our groups (ranging from 35 to 75). Despite the rainy weather, the day went very smoothly thanks to Masaharu-san's coordination. We were all impressed with his knowledge about a wide range of topics related to Tokyo and Japanese history - especially my father who had some very specific questions and is typically very hard to impress. I would highly recommend Masaharu-san for an enjoyable and stress-free tour of Tokyo.

We had a fantastic day in Tokyo with Masaharu. He tailored our tour to suit our interests, and he was extremely pleasant, accommodating, and knowledgeable about each of the sites we visited. It was thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable, and we managed to fit so much of Tokyo into the day without ever feeling rushed. If you want a tour with a professional, lovely guide then I highly recommend Masaharu."

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Masaharu in Tokyo. From the moment the tour began, it was clear that we were in very capable hands. Our guide spoke perfect English, which made everything easy and comfortable, but what truly stood out was how knowledgeable and thoughtful they were throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Japan who wants an educational, engaging, and truly enjoyable experience. It was one of the highlights of our trip.
