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 typhoon, strong wind and high wave. Because of bad weather the tour would be cancelled or restrected some.
On Sunday morning, almost all churches have MASS, so might not be able to observe inside.
Important message from the guide
My coverage areas are mainly poor public transportation areas, so mostly use my private car (5 pax) or a suitable size rental car (6 to 7 pax) to move. We use a Jumbo taxi for 8 pax group. It is easy to travel and free to move.
My coverage areas are Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka prefectures. But I live near Omura city in Nagasaki prefecture, so depending on where I meet you (meet-up), I will request you to pay the Meet-up fee (transportation cost back and forth to the meeting spot) in cash on site. The meet-up fee will be different based on the transportation fee from where I stay. Before the tour date, I will inform you how much the meet-up fee in the original tour plan.
Here are the basic meet-up fees for each area, Ohmura city is 2,000 JPY, Sasebo city is 3,500JPY, Isahaya city is 3,500 JPY, Nagasaki city is 4,000JPY, Saga is 8,000JPY, and Fukuoka is 15,000JPY. I will try to choose the cheapest way to travel. If you don't care high meet-up fee, I go anywhere as far as I can.
I work in both Nagasaki and Okinawa, working in 2 places for about half and half days a month. I have lived in Okinawa for over 12 years and am qualified and registered as an Okinawa Prefectural interpreter tour guide.
On my schedule calendar, available days mean that I stay in Nagasaki; on the contrary, unavailable days mean I am in Okinawa(mostly), so I might be able to guide you in Okinawa. I have another GWG account in Okinawa also, please visit it, too.
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
Nagasaki Tour Reviews
“Rainy day in Nagasaki”
Despite the weather we had a great day in Nagasaki with our private guide Hero. He went out of his way to rent a large comfortable vehicle for our group of 5 and rearranged the tour to accommodate the rain. He was very receptive and flexible and had a lot of knowledge to share!

“A great first day + introduction to Nagasaki with Hero - looking forward to more”
I'm very grateful for Hero's patience (I took ages photographing virtually everything everywhere), kindness, knowledge, helpfulness and sense of humour - it was a lot to take in but all very relevant to my novel WIP, so am delighted with his assistance for this very important research I am doing. Also very grateful he drove me back to the car park to find my lost wallet and showed me how to reach the train station in the morning. Also had some fun/funny moments too, so a nice bit of comic relief from seriousness of bomb and martyrdom sites.
