About Tour Guide Armando V.

Hi there! I’m Armand. Living in Nagasaki since 2016. I am living a 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 are 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.

Armando showde is around in the historica quarter close to the port. His local knowledge not only gave us an idea of the history but also the many funny details made it entertaining, which made it very easy to spend four hours in this small area.

Our Nagasaki tour with Armando was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich and complex history and shared it with great passion and insight. His recommendations for sites to visit and local foods to try were spot-on and really enhanced our experience. Armando was not only a wonderful guide but also a warm and engaging host who made our day in Nagasaki both meaningful and memorable. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting the area!
