Tour Important Information
Meal fee, shuttle ship fee, and rental car fee are not included in the guiding fee, you will pay those on-site in cash.
We might not be able to observe inside of the churches because of the church condition(Sunday MASS, special event, etc...).
Please remember, we cannot resist the weather, sea conditions such as typhoons, strong wind and high waves. Because of bad weather the tour would be canceled or restricted partially.
On Sunday morning, almost all churches have MASS, so might not be able to observe inside.
Important message from the supplier
My guiding rate is 5,000 JPY hourly (up to 4 pax), and 6,000 JPY hourly (5 to 8 pax), and a Meet-up fee (Guide's transportation fee back and forth to the meeting spot) is 5,000 JPY (in Nagasaki city).
For example, an 8-hour tour for 4 pax costs 40,000 JPY plus 5,000 JPY; 45,000 JPY is the tour price. You pay for this when you book the tour.
Please remember you will pay for the admission of pay facilities and meals on-site.
Up to 4 customers are accommodated in my private car (Toyota Prius), but more than 4 guests need to rent a suitable size rental car (5 to 8 pax) or hire a jumbo taxi (8 pax max) during the tour. The rental car and taxi costs vary depending on the conditions, so my published tour price doesn't include car costs. If you use my private car, you will pay 4,000 JPY (including the parking, toll road and fuel).
After the negotiation of the tour, I will fix the car-related price and add this price to the published tour price so that you realize the total tour price before you book it.
You only pay the admission of pay facilities and meals on-site.
My coverage areas are all over Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka Prefectures, including the remote islands of Nagasaki. But I live in near Omura city in Nagasaki Pref., so far places from my house cost more Meet-up fee (Guide's transportation back and forth to the meeting place).
Additionally, I work in Nagasaki and Okinawa, in two prefectures for about half a month each place. So if you intend to travel to Okinawa, visit my Okinawa account page, and check my schedule calendar of Okinawa.
Cancellation Policy
- Free cancellation - 8 days prior to meeting time
- 50% Refund - 3 to 7 days prior to meeting time
- No Refund - Within 2 day(s) prior to meeting time

About Tour Guide Yukihiro (Hero)行博
Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro(行博), call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018.
大家好！ 我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊（日本陸軍）。
I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places.
我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內，但是它有很多兵種和工作，所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方，例如北海道１０年，千葉縣１５年，沖繩16年還有別的有些地方。
I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide.
我一邊在沖繩當旅遊服務員大概半個月，一邊在九州長崎當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。
I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it.
我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊（英／中文），可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格，我正在繼續學外語。
I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though.
我會說英語和中文(簡／繁)，作為您的導游沒問題，沒有母語的人那麼好。

“Great tour of Nagasaki”
Hero was excellent and cognizant of our mobility with stairs. He knew where every elevator was. And was patient with us being a little slow. We got to see cherry blossoms in a couple of places. Beautiful. Hero had tea and scones for us during snack time. Lunch was very good and helped us choose. Hero was very knowledgeable about the bomb and its impact. If you tour with Hero, you will not be disappointed.

“A fantastic guide and a perfect tour”
We’ve had a really lovely day with Hero, exactly what we wanted and could not have been better. Hero was really well organised and communication was excellent which gave us a lot of confidence. His English is very good and he quickly understood what we wanted to do and what we were capable of. He was sympathetic, attentive, considerate and relaxed throughout our time together and provided us with the perfect day out.

Dear Hillary and Bob, Thank you very much for the great review for me. I appreciated it. I had a great time with you, too. The weather was perfect, cherry blossoms were still blooming. The tour time was limited, so we could not go many places, but if you are satisfied, I am satisfied, too. Please enjoy the rest of your tour in Japan. Have a good night. Best regards, Hero

“Hero’s the Best!!”
Hero went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see what we wanted. He’s friendly, knowledgeable and I even learned some things. He will tailor the tour to fit your needs. If you need someone that tries their best to make sure you see what you want, then I’d highly recommend Hero.

Hi Timothy, Thank you very much for the great review this time. You have already researched beforehand, so I didn't have the confidence to satisfy your requests, but you highly valued my support. I am so delighted. I appreciated that I could have a unique guiding experience. It widened my guiding skill. Have a safe and pleasant trip tomorrow. I am willing to support your research from now on. Please get in touch. Hero
