The travel distance of the car is long, so the number of sites is not so many, but you can enjoy the change of the scenery while you are traveling. You can watch not only samurai’s castle but also samurai’s weapons and samurai’s armor. As for Unzen volcano, it is a must-see place because there are less active volcanoes in the Europe and the US. You can experience the mysteries of the earth.

Reconstructed in 1964, it now serves as a museum showcasing artifacts from the rebellion and samurai culture, offering visitors a look into Japan’s feudal history.
Shimabara Castle Town in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, is a historic area centered around Shimabara Castle.

And my catchphrase is "quick and flexible hospitality."
My former job is salesperson. I sailed many beautiful furniture in various cities in Japan. I think sales is very similar to guide in expressing contents to the customer attractively and entertaining. I’ve made many customers entertained by my talk and experience. So I do want to entertain you with attractive of Nagasaki, Fukuoka and Japan, and with the respect to the country and the cities which gave birth and brought me up.
Thank you;)

Our guide Katsuhiro picked us up from the cruise terminal on time with gift in hand. Great feeling being welcomed this way. He was very accommodating for my 91 year old father and wheelchair. We enjoyed traditional sites, Takayama Vintage store ,ramen and the Hakata Canal mall. A perfect day!!! I highly recommend this guide! Thank you from the Hartners
