“A day with Yoshi”
Highly recommending Yoshi! His diverse knowledge ensures that he can accomodate the tour to your interests! Furthermore, he's funny and super kind so it's 100% sure you'll have a nice day :) After seeing sights, he took us to his favorite sushi restaurant and showed us kitchen supply shops which are traditional and not overpriced. A day of learning japanese history, culture and having fun is a guarantee when you pick Yoshi as your guide! When we're back in Japan we'll book him again :)

“Nagasaki Day Tour”
Thoroughly enjoyed our day with Hero. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We felt like we made the most of our day in beautiful Nagasaki. If we came back we would definitely look up Hero again. Highly recommended!!

Hi Katarina, Thank you very much for great review for my tour in Nagasaki. Today was so beautiful day, we could see everything from Mt. Inasa observatory. Sorry, not to find a good Pearl Shop in Nagasaki. If you have opportunities to visit Nagasaki or Okinawa in the future, let me know. My Okinawa account will be closed at the end of November, but you can contact via WhatsApp. Best regards, Hero
