Nagasaki Private Tour Guides

“Bad Weather, Great Back Up Plan! ”

Yuki did a bunch of research for this tour in terms of transportation, timing, and boats we could use. But when bad weather hit, he suggested an alternative indoor focused trip on Fukue Island. Although he and the boat operator gave me the option to continue with boat tour, I am glad he had a back up plan that ultimately proved very rewarding. He was only able to have the back up plan by being very communicative with me and knowing what interests I had and was able to customize it. Appreciated his flexibility.

“Highly Recommended Unique Experience Uncovering and Sustaining Hidden Christians Narratives”

With amazing language and multi-cultural skills and personal contacts, Yuki designed a custom trip that introduced me to the difficult, but inspiring history of Hidden Christians. Meeting people who are working, right now, to sustain the history and tradition was the highlight. By learning and seeing the past and developing sites, I now feel charged and empowered to keep their stories alive. Yuki took great care and designed a trip around just me. I will definitely be back and hope to bring friends to spread the news! Even if you don't have a religious background or interest in it or just want to explore the Goto Islands, Yuki clearly works well with different people of all backgrounds and can design trips around Island life generally. Goto Islands is definitely a hidden gem.

“Well run, very personable, great for multi-generational family”

I was in Nagasaki on a cruise, with my family group of 8 people aged from 10 to 75. Normally I play it safe and book excursion through the cruise line but they didn’t provide options so I branched out with a private tour, led by Sho. And I’m so glad I did! From the outset, Sho was great at communicating the logistics of the day, offering to make life easier for me. We instantly had a great rapport with Sho, absorbing his passion for Nagasaki. Sho let us set the pace of the day, lingering at places we found interesting (Atomic Bomb Museum) and letting us speed through parts that we preferred to skip over. Sho shared his own stories which made it all the more personal. It was a rainy day but Sho took excellent care of us, giving us breaks and hiding from the worst of the weather. And the ramen was amazing! I’d highly recommend Sho’s tour, and Nagasaki!
