About Tour Guide Yoshiko H.

“Great one day tour”

Toshiko was a wonderful guide. Having grown up in Nagasaki with her family she shared her personal experience. Together we made a tour that fit our interests very well.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. It was truly a pleasure showing you around Nagasaki. We did a lot of walking, though! I hope you've had a chance to rest. ​Please stay healthy, and I would love for you both to visit Japan, and Nagasaki, again. I sincerely look forward to your next visit. Best regards, Yoshi

“Absolutely wonderful tour of Nagasaki with Yoshiko”

My wife and I just returned from a 5-hour tour of Nagasaki, and we both agreed that this was the best tour we have ever experienced (and we have taken many). Prior to the tour date we made numerous revisions to the tour and Yoshiko was very flexible and patient with us. Her English is impeccable - absolutely no communication problems. And she knows all there is to know about Nagasaki. She met us outside the Viking cruise disembarkation area, and brought us by taxi to our first destination, a beautiful Shinto Shrine. From there we walked through lovely neighborhoods and visited many local shrines and temples. We avoided all the typical tourist destinations and saw sites we never would have found on our own. After a pleasant light lunch and more neighborhood sightseeing we ended at Glover Gardens - which is lovely, with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Yoshiko shared many fascinating stories. We will never forget our day in Nagasaki with our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide Yoshiko.

Thank you so much for hiring me as your guide this time! I'm also deeply honored and truly appreciate this wonderful review. I am so glad to know you both enjoyed this Nagasaki tour with me. Also, I really enjoyed our conversations. Getting a sense of your personalities through our talks, I felt you are a truly lovely couple. ​We certainly walked a lot during the tour! I hope you are not too tired now. Please take it easy and relax. Please do give her a big "hi" from me. ​I hope to see you both some day again ! Best wishes, Yoshi

“Nagasaki Pilgrimage Tour With Yoshiko”

We had a wonderful experience with Yoshiko (Yoshi) as our private tour guide in Nagasaki. She tailored the tour to our interests, taking us to meaningful sites such as Urakami Cathedral, Nyokodo, the Nagai Takashi Memorial Museum, Nishizaka (St. Philip) Church, the 26 Martyrs Museum and Relics, Nakamachi Catholic Church, the Lourdes Grotto at Hongomachi Church, and more. She also made it possible for us to attend Mass at St. Philip’s as we had hoped. Yoshi was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and always attentive to our pace, while also keeping us right on schedule. She even went above and beyond by helping us secure train and bus tickets for the next part of our journey. Yoshi was truly one of the best guides we had during our trip to Japan, and we highly recommend her to anyone visiting Nagasaki.
