“A wonderful day in Nagasaki”

A wonderful day in Nagasaki. Sho, you showed us your city in such a relaxed and friendly way. From the very beginning, it was a pleasure walking around with you. You showed us where the locals live, and we were even allowed to see your house—what an honor! You were always attentive to our needs, and we felt welcome at all times. Thanks to the perfect weather, we were able to admire the city from above. You also chose an excellent restaurant with superb food. The time flew by much too quickly, and we hope to see you again someday. Best regards, Annetta and Henry

“Felt like a day with a Family member”

Our day with Sho was like being part of his family. Heart of gold. In addition to the usual Atomic Bomb museum he took us to the Memorial Hall. It tore at our hearts. Upon returning home the day with Sho in Nagasaki has been mentioned as one of our top highlights in the 3 weeks of touring Japan. We utilized taxis, the street car system and walking for getting around. It was fun having lunch at a local cafe (which I think he goes to often) in a residential area. Definitely off the beaten path and not your usual tourist food establishment. This was the theme for the rest of the day (i.e. off the beaten path) when we started running around looking for wasabi and ramen products. He took us to his local shopping area and we met the woman where he buys his tofu. I strongly recommend Sho for anyone looking for "off the beaten path, " type of guide. Sho would be more than capable of showing his clients the usual tourist attractions. Originally we had planned on visiting all the known tourist spots. Sho being flexible and possessing strong knowledge of the area let us morph it into a "free for all" day, more to our liking. If it wasn't for the 300 steps up to his house we would have gone to his home. Even for our most active senior the 300 steps seemed to daunting to do, I am hoping that soon our paths will one day cross again.

Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for your amazing review and for visiting Nagasaki, the city I truly love! I was so happy to have the chance to show you not only the Atomic Bomb Museum and the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall, but also the places where I live my everyday life, including my local shopping area. It was a real pleasure to share a little glimpse of my daily life with you! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the day! And I hope you also liked the ramen and wasabi-flavored snacks! I hope your time in Nagasaki will remain one of your favorite memories of your trip to Japan. I had such a wonderful time with all of you, and I really hope our paths cross again someday! Take care, and see you again! :)
