〇Admission at each pay facility

※Parking, toll-road, and fuel including the car-related fee
Tour Important Information
Admission fees at each pay facility and lunch are not included in the tour price, so you must pay them on-site. Mostly guide's admission will be free of charge.
We might not be able to observe inside of the churches because of the church events (Sunday MASS, special event, etc...).
You will use my private car, a rental car or a Jumbo taxi and pay for all cost. The published tour price doesn't include car-related fees, so I will add the car-related fees into the tour price and show you before booking.
If you use my private car (up to 4 guests), you will pay only parking, toll-road, and fuel.
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 only pay 3,000 to 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８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。
Reviews
“A great day in Nagasaki with Hero”
We were fortunate to have Hero as our guide for one day in Nagasaki. Inspite of the unstable weather he made the itinerary work seamlessly for our group of eight cruisers from Australia. We enjoyed all of the places visited including Mt. Inasa lookout, Peace Memorial Park, Dejima Museum and Wharf (where we had lunch), Spectacle Bridge, Hamamo-machi Shopping Arcade, then lastly the Glover Garden and Holland Slope. He was always receptive to all our requests. We loved his friendly manner and local knowledge which are both great assets as a tour guide. I would not hesitate to recommend Hero to anyone touring Nagasaki even for only a day.
