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!

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16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。

Hi there, I'm Yuki. Originally from Tokyo, moved to Goto islands , Nagasaki in 2019. I'm a christian (protestant), and that brought me to live here, the island with the history of Japanese hidden christians. I'm passionate with meeting new people from different backgrounds, which is why I have multiple types of businesses(a mucician, a chef, a spearfisher, an interpreter, and a guide). I'm probably a typical islander who is easygoing, relaxing, and enjoy doing multiple things based on the random things happening in this island. Before we settled down here, my wife and I have traveled over 30 countries for 2 years with a crowdfunded project. I'm also a learner of multiple languages, Italian (conversational), Spanish and Korean(novice). I try to be as flexible as possible, based on guests' requests. I could guide other than Goto, but in that case I would have to ask guests to cover my transportations fee(as you may not know, from/to Goto islands-Nagasaki city, it takes 1-3 hours by ferry or airplane.) Please feel free to message me! I'm hoping your trip to be unforgettable.

“Great comprehensive tour of Nagasaki with Sho ”
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sho. He was very organized and knowledgeable about Nagasaki. We covered a lot of territory seeing many of the important sights. We saw some “hidden gems “ that were amazing! I can’t say what they were, you need to go on this tour to experience them ! Sho picked the perfect lunch spot for us. If you are visiting Nagasaki, I would highly recommend Sho.
Shonosuke S.
Hi Sue and Lee! Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour—especially the hidden gems of Nagasaki! I also had such a great time spending the day with you both. Next time, let’s try "the best burger" and "the best ice cream" in Nagasaki! XD. Have an amazing trip!

“Two excellent days in Nagasaki ”
Sho is deeply committed to pleasing his clients. He's also smart, creative and has a great sense of humour. He showed us experiences and places that matched our interests, and helped us learn so much about Nagasaki and Japan. Unforgettable and excellent.

Hi Averie and Carman! Thank you for your amazing review. I not only had a wonderful time with you during the tour, but it also became a truly meaningful opportunity for me to reflect on Nagasaki’s civic activities and social issues. It deepened my interest in these areas and made me feel more motivated to learn about them and get involved. Once again, I’m truly grateful to have met you both. Wishing you a continued wonderful journey in Japan!

“Had a Great Time”
4 of us really enjoyed or tour with Hero. He is super knowledgeable, his English is very good, and he even brought us some ginger tee drink and home made Okinawan donuts for a snack! Don't miss the view from Mt. Inasa, and we were glad we didn't go to Battleship Island as it would have taken too much time and apparently you are frequently unable to land there. Would definitely use Hero again.

Hello Carl, Thank you very much for the great review of my tour. I appreciated it. Sorry to respond to your great review, I failed to find your review. I hope to see you in another tour in the future, too. Best regards, Hero
