See the 400-year old Meganebashi (spectacles) Bridge, Fukusai-ji temple, rebuilt after WWII as a mausoleum for fallen Japanese soldiers, and the European-style Oura Cathedral and Dutch Slope – a stone-paved street with the former Western-style residences of foreign traders.

5.00Sho provided an exceptional tour catering to a variety of ages and interests. It was jam packed for the seniors in the group who had interests in the Nagasaki Abomb experience. He was able to listen and answer questions specifically for the person most interested and provided his own personal family experience. We also had a young foodie in the tour and he adjusted the schedule to deliver on several quick food stops. The wagyu beef was amazing. Also experienced some specific sushi local to the area. We were a group of 7 with 3 which had some mobility challenges in their late 70s and early 80s. Trying to keep all engaged while personalizing in a 3 hour tour was a task. Appreciate his kindness and flexibility.
Sho is just amazing!!

5.00Sho was amazing! Before we even got to Nagasaki he contacted me and asked about our preferences. I had a trip with my family that included my mom and my 8 year old. Sho accommodated our preferences and he took us to places that were not crowded and explained us their local costumes. He is simply the best, thank you for everything!
Great Day

5.00Miki and I had a great day, she was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to help me deal with a foot injury I had just suffered. We went to all the spots I wanted to go, and she took me to some places I didn't know about. It was a great overview of the city.

5.00Moe. Our guide was wonderful. She met us at the cruise port. She took us all over Nagasaki even though the weather was terrible. She showed us a lovely time. We had a beautiful lunch and she was well informative, and an excellent tour guy.
A great tour with lots of sites!

5.00We enjoyed our tour very much…we had a great time with our guide, and he showed us great places in Nagasaki. It was very powerful to see the hypocenter where the bomb went off in 1945, and we really enjoyed our discussions with the guide. Highly recommend.

5.00Armand our guide was great! He knew a lot about the area and the history. We went through neighborhoods that we would have never found on our own. He also accommodated us w a request to see Cherry Blossoms and took us to a park w over 400 trees. The best part was the tour was in areas w no crowds.

5.00Our guide Senyo was awesome! His English and knowledge of Nagasaki was phenomenal! We had a group of 8. One had difficulty with going down stairs. Senyo was more than happy to accommodate without any hesitation! I would highly recommend Senyo to anyone visiting Nagasaki!!
