“Wonderful guide”

We had a lovely time. He was totally flexible and accommodated our groups request. He is very charming and knowlegable.

“An Outstanding Guide Who Made Hubbys 60th Birthday Truly Special!”

If you’re visiting Nagasaki, I cannot recommend Katsu highly enough! He was absolutely outstanding, and our day with him was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Katsu was warm, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and wonderfully prepared. He even had a binder filled with fascinating historical facts and photographs that brought Nagasaki’s history to life. We visited Dejima Trading Post, the Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park and other historic sites. We enjoyed spectacular city views, explored Glover Garden and saw the beautiful Oura Cathedral. Katsu also took us to a fantastic Wagyu beef restaurant, Yakiniku Pure, for a delicious lunch, followed by a lovely stop at June Coffee. What made Katsu exceptional was his thoughtfulness. I have a minor mobility issue, and he made sure the pace was comfortable without us missing out. He also had an incredible talent for finding parking spots right beside every attraction! It became a running joke, and we had such fun teasing him about his parking skills. He even found a Pokémon-themed manhole cover for me because he knew I loved Pokémon. It’s these little touches that make someone truly special. The most touching moment was when Katsu surprised my husband with a beautiful ceramic gift for his 60th birthday. It was an incredibly kind and unexpected gesture that we’ll always treasure. Katsu’s knowledge, kindness, humour and genuine care made our day unforgettable. He wasn’t simply showing us Nagasaki; he was making sure we had a wonderful experience and created lasting memories. If you’re considering a private tour in Nagasaki, book Katsu! You absolutely won’t regret it. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would happily tour with him again. Thank you, Katsu, for making Drew’s milestone birthday so special!

“Excellent tour of Hidden Christian sites”

Yusuke met us at the agreed site early and took us on a ride around Nagasaki. Two sites that we visited were the Shrine of the 26 Martyrs at St. Philip of Jesus which featured an excellent museum documenting the persecution of Christians in Japan. We also went to Oura Church which had some interesting exhibits. Yusuke was a great guide who was knowledgeable about hidden Christians. This is a tour not offered by any cruise line or major tour company.
