About Tour Guide Shonosuke S.
Hi! I'm Sho! I live in the center of Nagasaki city and work as a YouTuber, podcaster, and tour guide specializing in sharing the charms of Nagasaki.
Actually, I was born and raised in Yokohama, near Tokyo, and worked for about 5 years in Tokyo. However, I fell in love with the culture and history of Nagasaki and moved here in 2020.
Nagasaki has a rich history of international exchange and friendship, established about 450 years ago as an international trading port in Japan. Since then, many people from all over the world with diverse cultures and values have visited this city. I love these stories and histories of Nagasaki.
Nagasaki is often associated with the sad history of the atomic bomb, which is, of course, an important part of this city's history, but Nagasaki has much more than that. I'm looking forward to introducing you to the many charms of Nagasaki!

“Half Day Nagasaki Walking Tour ”
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Sho! His itinerary was excellent and he was so engaging and passionate about Nagasaki. His personality, knowledge and English were really great. We enjoyed the tour he gave us and having lunch with him as well. We would recommend him without any reservations. Thanks Sho!

Hi Carmen! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for visiting Nagasaki, a city I truly love! I was so happy to show you around, especially the more local spots. I had such a fun and memorable time with you! I hope you’ll come back to Japan—and to Nagasaki—again soon! And I hope she gets the chance to work in Korea someday! :D

“Excellent and personable ”
Sho was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable about the places he took us and we had lots of great conversations about Christian history in Nagasaki. He also took us to some of his favorite places to eat and cafes and recommended local Nagasaki sweets for gifts. All around great experience.

Hi Scott! Thank you so much for joining the tour and for visiting Nagasaki, the city I love! I really enjoyed visiting many Christian-related sites with both of you and having such great conversations. I’m glad to hear you also enjoyed my favorite lunch spot and café. Please come and visit Nagasaki again anytime!

“Nagasaki tour”
We had a great time with Sho. He was so knowledgeable and so fun to be with. He took us all around Nagasaki by taxi cab. Exactly the way we wanted to go because it was fast. Every time it was time to get a cab he had two taxis that showed up just right on time. He was a great leader. He took us to a wonderful restaurant. Possibly the best of the trip. I highly recommend Sho. So easy to get along with and so overwhelmingly sensitive to where we were. I highly recommend Sho to give you a tour of Nagasaki. He is absolutely nothing but fun and made our day incredibly special.

Hi Tom! Thank you so much for your amazing review, and for visiting Nagasaki, a city I truly love. I hope you had a smooth journey back home to the U.S. after your trip. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour in Nagasaki! It meant a lot to me that you took such a deep interest in the city's history and made the effort to explore places like the Tateyama Air Raid Shelter and the Nagasaki Museum for Human Rights and Peace (formerly the Masaharu Oka Nagasaki Peace Memorial Museum). I'm also really happy to hear that you enjoyed the food! Please do come back to Japan and to Nagasaki again sometime. You’re always welcome here!

Hi there! I’m Armand. Living in Nagasaki since 2016. I am living a most relaxing life on my permaculture homestead in the hills of Nagasaki, where you get the best views in Japan. I love my town. As a dancer and actor I love telling stories too. And there are so many great stories to share about all the interesting people that once dwelled in this adventurous town full of historical intrigues. Want to experience the rich Nagasaki culture? Eat the freshest fish of Japan? Make the most beautiful photos of hidden treasures and landscapes? Come and explore the town together with me. I’ve made it my mission to get to know everything there is to know about this place.

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。
