Nagasaki Tour Reviews
Lawson A.
“Outstanding Day in Nagasaki ”
We had an outstanding day in Nagasaki with our driver / guide Katsu. It rained all day, but that didn’t stop us from seeing the sites. The atomic bomb museum and related bomb sites were amazing. We had read or studied about the dropping of the atomic bomb, but seeing this in person really put its significance in real terms. Katsu explained the differences between the atomic bombs in Nagasaki & Hiroshima. Quite interesting. Katsu was an excellent guide. We all would recommend him as a guide & will contact him in the future when we’re back in Japan.
Katsu N.
Dear Lawson and everyone, /// Thank you very much for joining my Nagasaki tour. /// And thank you for your wonderful review. /// On that day, my weather app - something that rarely happens - was unfortunately inaccurate, which made it a bit difficult to adjust at times. However, I’m very happy to hear that you were satisfied. /// I believe one of the great advantages of a private tour is the flexibility to adapt to the situation on the day, so please feel free to contact me again when you visit Japan next time. I’m sure you will be able to enjoy the unique charm of different regions of Japan. /// I look forward to seeing you again. /// Kind regards, /// Katsuhisa

“Amazing Cruise Excursion in Nagasaki”
It was our first time visiting Nagasaki and we hired Mr Katsu as our local guide. I can say that he was very knowledgable, experienced and respectful. He prepared a good itinerary for us that perfectly aligned with our schedule. We were on a cruise and he made sure that we got back to our ship with ample time. Aside from taking us to important places, he also gave a brief history of the place that make the visit more meaningful. He speaks english though not fluently, but you can see his effort to convey his message across. His transport vehicle was clean, he driving was ok. He was fhoughtful because at the time of our visit, the cherries were not yet full bloom so he arranged a fresh flower arrangement inside his car. He was also our tour guide in Fukuoka. He took us to a restaurant where locals eat and we had a great lunch The cost of his service was reasonable. Highly recommended.
Katsu N.
Thank you very much for joining my tours in Nagasaki and Fukuoka. /// I am very glad to hear that you were satisfied with the experience. /// Especially in Nagasaki, as the history and religious background can be quite complex, I try to guide with easy-to-understand materials from multiple perspectives. /// In particular, for the Atomic Bomb Museum, I continuously update my explanations through daily study, so there may be times when my English expressions are not always fluent. /// Regarding the meals, I have built up strong local knowledge over the years, so I’m very happy that you enjoyed the dining experience as well. /// I would be delighted to guide you in many other regions, and I look forward to seeing you again in the future. /// Katsuhisa

“Amazing ceramics and pottery trip plus Glover Garden”
This is our second trip with Katsu and he adapted the itinerary based on our interest. We are more interested in Japanese culture and the Glover history
Katsu N.
Hi Jack and Jennifer,/// While talking at the coffee shop in the morning, we were able to sketch out a draft of the itinerary, and then we fine-tuned the details improvisationally as we moved along. I was relieved that, in the end, you were able to enjoy the sunset view at Glover Garden./// Actually, there was one more place I wanted to take you. It is a reservation-only ceramic painting gallery where a professional gives a one-on-one explanation of the pieces on display. So when we meet again, I would love to guide you there./// I look forward to seeing you both again.
