Our guide Yoshi was waiting for us when we exited the port terminal. She arranged our itinerary so that we could the peak tourist time in the popular attraction. The time we spent in Nagaski was enjoyable. We learnt about the history and culture of Nagaski. We are pleased to have Yoshi for our tour in Nagaski.

Yoshi-san was so amazing! She was very flexible and had great spots to visit in the city that were not very touristy areas. When we visited the shrines she was very understanding of our questions and gave us great insight with her answers.

I look forward to seeing you again in Japan!
Warm regards,

This was a private tour provided by the Japan Guide Agency. Our tour guide was Hiromi, who was excellent in both knowledge and English. She took us to the less visited parts of Nagasaki. Learning the long history of Western cultures integration here in Nagasaki resulted in elevating the city to one of our "must see" recommendations to our friends when they visit Japan.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We had a wonderful time together on the Nagasaki tour, and it's a wonderful memory. It's an unforgettable experience to be able to take you to a less crowded observation deck, rather than just the usual tourist attractions. I have a lot of respect for you and your family, who have a wealth of knowledge of the area and history. I also admired your attitude of respecting the original rather than restored architecture. I hope you continue to have fun on your future travels. I look forward to meeting you again someday.
Eunice_O, Feb 2026
It was a very comprehensive tour with Hiro-san as our guide. Hiro-san was knowledgeable, patient and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our day in Nagasaki with him. I left the tour with deep knowledge of Nagasaki. Thank you.

The atomic bomb museum was quite impactful, as was the visit to Spectacle Bridge. However, after the tourist activities, the quiet lunch in a small soba noodle restaurant was a real pleasure.

We had the most amazing day with Yoshiko. she was so knowledgeable about Nagasaki and introduced numbers of unexpected elements which made it one of our best days on our trip to japan. We had a lot of private guides in our two weeks in the country and Yoshiko stood out as the best! Her english was excellent and she gave us a very broad and deep understanding of Japan as well as her city.
Response from Host, Apr 2023

Uriel_R, Apr 2022
I highly recommended this tour! My guide, Yoko, was very polite and helpful with my experience at Nagasaki. She meet me at where I was staying right on time at 9 am. She quickly asked what I wanted to visit, make recommendations and come out with a plan to visit all the sites I wanted right away. Yoko's experience, preparedness and expertise were very surprising, I would give her simple cues of sites I wanted to visit and quickly identify the site, get her picture book and confirm the site, then there there fast. I never felt pressure to leave earlier and the commentary provide by Yoko was very enlightening.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you so much for your kind words that make me feel proud as a tour guide. Although the weather was not perfect, I am very happy to know that you enjoyed visiting where you really wanted to go in Nagasaki such as Spectacles Bridge, Torii Gate of Sanno Shrine and Peace Park. You are a good photographer. You took many pictures there and kindly let me see some of them . They are all lovely. A photo of rain drops on Rhododendron is so beautiful. Hopefully you will visit Nagasaki again as it has many more interesting destinations. Best wishes Yoko
