“Amazing tour”
Katsu was an absolute professional, very thoughtful and accommodating. My mother has accessibility needs and he made sure this was supported at all times. He even sent reading material ahead of the tour which was well received giving us further understanding of what we were going to see. Katsu went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him and his tours.

Dear Joanne and your mother, I am truly honored to hear you say that. I hope that the PDF I sent you will also become a memory of the tour. I will be able to attend to various cities other than Nagasaki, so I hope to see you again. Thank you for joining my tour. Katsuhisa
