Hi there! I’m Armand. Living in Nagasaki since 2016. I am living the best and most relaxing life on my permaculture homestead in the hills of Nagasaki, where you get the best views in Japan. I love my town. As a dancer and actor I love telling stories too. And there a so many great stories to share about all the interesting people that once dwelled in this adventurous town full of historical intrigues. Want to experience the rich Nagasaki culture? Eat the freshest fish of Japan? Make the most beautiful photos of hidden treasures and landscapes? Come and explore the town together with me. I’ve made it my mission to get to know everything there is to know about this place.

Hi! I'm Sho! I live in the center of Nagasaki city and work as a YouTuber, podcaster, and tour guide specializing in sharing the charms of Nagasaki. Actually, I was born and raised in Yokohama, near Tokyo, and worked for about 5 years in Tokyo. However, I fell in love with the culture and history of Nagasaki and moved here in 2020. Nagasaki has a rich history of international exchange and friendship, established about 450 years ago as an international trading port in Japan. Since then, many people from all over the world with diverse cultures and values have visited this city. I love these stories and histories of Nagasaki. Nagasaki is often associated with the sad history of the atomic bomb, which is, of course, an important part of this city's history, but Nagasaki has much more than that. I'm looking forward to introducing you to the many charms of Nagasaki!

Thank you for taking the time to read my greeting! My name is Katsuhisa, but please feel free to call me Katsu. :) My philosophy is rooted in my catchphrase: "Quick and flexible hospitality." Before becoming a guide, I worked as a salesperson, introducing customers to beautiful furniture across various Japanese cities. That experience taught me how to present products and ideas in a way that is both engaging and memorable—a skill I now bring to my role as a guide. However, I am more than just a guide; I am your concierge. Whether it's tailoring an itinerary to your specific interests or preparing seamless experiences with meticulous attention to detail, my goal is to provide you with a journey that exceeds expectations. I am deeply passionate about sharing the unique charm of Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Japan as a whole, while honoring the culture and places that shaped who I am today. Let me craft an experience that is both enlightening and truly unforgettable. Thank you, and I look forward to welcoming you! :)

Hello, I'm Saki. I am absolutely thrilled to be your guide to the enchanting wonders of Amakusa, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, and the broader Kyushu region. As a native of Amakusa, Kumamoto, I have a deep connection to this area, having lived until completing high school. After spending 15 exciting years in Osaka and Tokyo for university and work, I couldn't resist the magnetic pull of my hometown and returned to Amakusa, realizing just how irresistibly charming it truly is. With my National Licensed English Speaking Guide certification earned in 2018, I've led tour excursions, private tours, Christian tours, and FAM trips, primarily in the Kyushu area. Additionally, my experiences traveling for business and leisure in Europe and various Asian countries have allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures and meet incredible people from all walks of life. Kyushu, without a doubt, harbors countless hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered and popular tourist destinations that will leave you in awe. It is my heartfelt goal to share the allure of this region with people from all corners of the globe. So, prepare for an unforgettable journey as we embark on an adventure together. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro(行博), call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018. 大家好！我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊（日本陸軍）。 I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places. 我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內，但是它有很多兵種和工作，所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方，例如北海道１０年，千葉縣１５年，沖繩８年還有別的有些地方。 I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide. 我一邊在沖繩當旅遊服務員大概半個月，一邊在九州長崎當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。 I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it. 我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊（英／中文），可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格，我正在繼續學外語。 I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though. 我會說英語和中文(簡／繁)，作為您的導游沒問題，沒有母語的人那麼好。

Samurai's castle, volcano activity, Shimabara in Nagasaki 9 hours, Private car.

9 hours

The travel distance of the car is long, so the number of sites is not so many, but you can enjoy the change of the scenery while you are traveling. You can watch not only samurai’s castle but also samurai’s weapons and samurai’s armor. As for Unzen volcano, it is a must-see place because there are less active volcanoes in the Europe and the US. You can experience the mysteries of the earth.

“A Tour witz Sho makes youngblood in love with Nagasaki”

If you want to get to know Nagasaki from its very personal side, you should definitely spend a day exploring the city with Sho. He loves this city and you can see that in the many little special places he shows you and the great information you get from him. We had such a wonderful day with him in Nagasaki that we also fell in love with this city. Ask him to visit the small cafe in the hills!! Thank you Sho, we would love to come back and tour with you!! <3

Hi Nina! Thank you for visiting Nagasaki, a city I love, and for sharing your lovely review! I really enjoyed the tour with all of you, and I hope it became a precious family memory of your time in Nagasaki. Yes, that little café on the hill was definitely our highlight! :D (By the way, I hope the Starbucks cups you bought in Japan made it safely home!) See you again in Nagasaki or Germany!

“Memorable one-day tour of Nagasaki”

Yoshi is an exceptional tour guide in Nagasaki! A local with impeccable English and extensive knowledge of her city, she made our day trip truly memorable. She thoughtfully answered all our questions and crafted a one-day itinerary that included all the highlights—Atomic Bomb Museum, Mt. Inasa, Dejima, and more. Highly recommended!

Yoshiko H.

I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to write such a lovely review. Your kind words mean a lot to me. I am so glad you chose Nagasaki as a stop on your Kyushu trip. I hope you were able to see some of the other amazing things Nagasaki prefecture offers, like the beautiful Goto Islands or the Unzen hot springs. I would love to welcome you back again someday. I hope you two liked "kakuni manjyu", Nagasaki specialty! Please extend my best to your wife. Warmly, Yoshi
