Private Tour
Tour Nagasaki or Fukuoka in Privacy and Comfort.
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
My tours were born out of the idea of giving people the feeling of being connected with the destination in every facet of the tour. Whether it be from the on board commentary, insights into daily Japanese life, historical and important information of each attraction, cultural experiences, Japanese food and drink tastings as well as personal opinions and facts about what it is truly life to live as an expat in this weird and wonderful country we call Japan.
It is my belief that only a private tour consisting of a small numbers of members can create this important connection that will stay with us for the rest of our lives! This tour can be customized and is available for pick ups at Airports, Hotels and Cruise Ship Terminals.
Pick ups in Nagasaki will visit attractions within as well as neighboring Saga Prefecture. Likewise, pickups in Fukuoka will feature sites within and including neighboring Saga region.
You will not be able to visit Fukuoka from Nagasaki and vice versa.

What To Expect
Hakata Port Tower
All in all, I rather enjoyed this experience. This attraction is a staple on my Fukuoka walking Tours and one day Driving Tours but only on sunny days where the weather warrants a climb to the highest point in Hakata. Cloudy and rainy days will rely more on cultural attractions rather than visual ones. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.
Nanzoin Temple
A very interesting and remarkable Temple that has the largest reclining Buddha in Japan. A place that will not be forgotten any time soon. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

5.00Our guide Shannon was simply the best!!! He took us to see amazing places and we even shopped for our own picnic, picking out local foods that we wanted! Had an amazing visit to a sake brewery. Shannon was so knowledgeable about all the places we went!!! We will be back and would most definitely ask for Shannon again!!!

5.00Wonderful day with Shannon touring Nagasaki. From the beauty of the Spectacle Bridge to the power of Ground Zero. Shannon was very personable and knowledgable and the day just flew by. We stopped for a spontaneous sit down lunch which was delicious (not a tourist spot!) and enjoyed our conversations about life in Japan. Special memory of the day: a footbath with a sake chaser!!

5.00Shannon was absolutely perfect for us! It rained the whole day, but it was the very best tour we have ever had. Shannon had so much information about Japan and the city. He made it so easy to get out of the car, get an umbrella, walk and talk, then wait here for a few minutes for him to get the car again and hop in and off to the next attraction. We never felt rushed, but we moved along at a good pace to see so much! He was just the best and it was an excellent tour! Sorry to say this, but the fact that Shannon spoke English as his first language made all the difference. It was just so easy to hear him and understand everything he said.
Fantastic Tour Guide for Fukuoka!

5.00We had a great day with Shannon touring Fukuoka. We enjoyed a variety of activities including Nanzoin Temple, Yusenti Park, Tea in the Tea House, a Sake Brewery for tasting and beautiful Ramen for Lunch. All with minimal walking on a very hot day. Shannon was able to drop us off at the entrance and park the car to reduce our walking which we greatly appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about Japan and great fun.
