“Fukuoka City Tour”
Yoshiharu is very knowledgeable and friendly. It was very easy to communicate with him because he speaks English well. I got to see Fukuoka main city attractions in one day. I shall return. Thank you Yoshi!

“Emotional and Educational”
We learned a lot on this tour while visiting the A-bomb Museum and wandering around notable places in Nagasaki. You won't get this type of education from a textbook or a documentary. We also saw beautiful gardens, views and parade floats. Our guide was informative and we enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you, Yoshiharu!

(54 reviews)Thank you so much for such a great comment. It seems like a long time ago when we spent and shared the time in Nagasaki. I hope you enjoyed the time in Nagasaki and it would be great for me if you could learn something new about Nagasaki, Japan and Japanese through the short trip in Nagasaki. Thank you very much.
