Nagasaki Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Excellent Customized Itinerary - Cruise Port Day”

Katsu contacted me prior to departure to make sure he could arrange everything based on our group. I traveled with my senior parents so Katsu went above and beyond to accommodate their abilities. On the day of the tour, Katsu met us at the cruise terminal where we arrived in the morning and had printed itineraries for us in an accessible van. From the moment the tour began, he was so friendly and welcoming and provided commentary throughout each stop. He arranged a tea tasting in a historic home which was a highlight of the day. We then visited Shimabara castle, samurai village and geothermal park. We had such a nice day! I highly recommend Katsu for anyone visiting Nagasaki.

Hello Kevin and everyone, /// Thank you very much for posting such a wonderful review. Once again, I truly appreciate you joining my Nagasaki tour. /// The regulations at the Nagasaki cruise terminal are a little strict, so knowing in advance that you were traveling with your senior parents allowed me to make various preparations for the tour. Thank you as well for letting me know beforehand. /// I can guide you not only in Nagasaki but also in many other fascinating towns and areas, so I hope you will visit Japan and Kyushu Island again. /// I look forward to seeing you all again. /// Kind regards, /// Katsuhisa

“5 stars for Sho!”

Sho was an absolutely wonderful tour guide during our time in Nagasaki. He was incredibly patient, kind and considerate, always making sure everyone was comfortable and had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. His knowledge of Nagasaki and the stories he shared really brought the experience to life. He went above and beyond to make our day enjoyable and was so thoughtful throughout the tour. We came away from the day feeling that it was one of our favourite days of our whole trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Sho, for making our day in Nagasaki so memorable. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting!

Hi, Melissa! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for visiting Nagasaki, a city I truly love! I had such a great time with you and your family! In the morning, we explored some of Nagasaki’s peace-related sites, and in the afternoon, I got to show you some of my favorite spots around the city—including a cat-themed shop and even a cat shrine! Thank you for letting me be part of such a special day with your family. It was truly a pleasure spending time with all of you! I hope you’ll come back to Japan—and Nagasaki—again someday! And please say thank you to Adam, Kalan, and Archer for me too!

“Tour of Hidden Christians and Catholic Churches ”

First of all, Armando is a pleasant and entertaining guide. His communication skills are excellent. Not only is his familiarity with the place very good but his genuine interest in our Catholic practices, tradition made us also share with him our own knowledge. We both learned from one another.
