Tour Important Information
The tour price includes only guiding fee and Meet-up fee.
You will pay the excluding fees such as Rental car or Taxi related fees, Parking and toll-road (if used).
I can managed to shorten or extend the tour time 4(minimum) to 6 hours by your request.

Museum will be closed on designated day.
Important message from the supplier
My guiding rate is 6,000 JPY hourly (up to 4 pax), and 7,000 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 48,000 JPY plus 5,000 JPY; 53,000 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 taxi and rental car costs. If you use my private car, you will pay 5,000 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).

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。

“A wonderfully interesting day in Nagasaki”
Dear Hiro Aregato. Thank you for giving us such meaningful day in Nagasaki. Your stories about our joint Japanese-Dutch history in Dejima. About the catastrophy of the plutonium bomb and how you, the Japanese built up the future of peace are amazing. We had a great Udon lunch together.Your advice to see Mifuney Yama in fall was spot on. In short: we had a great time. We'll recommend you to our friends. Thanks and good bye

“Great Guide”
Our family enjoyed our trip with Yukihiro, he was knowledgeable, and tailored our walking for my elderly aunt. Absolutely needed an english speaking guide, too difficult to do unaided.

Yukihiro (Hero)行博
Hi Debra, Thank you very much for your great review of me. Your aunt is amazing!! Honestly, I was worried about her because of her age until I saw her, but my concern has disappeared. She looks 20 years younger than her age, and actually she can walk the same as a 70-year-old. I have never seen the 90's like her. I told my 88-year-old mom about your aunt, and she was surprised, too!. If you have another chance to hire me, let me know please. Hero
