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!

Hi Heriberto! Thank you so much for your review. I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour—especially the local Nagasaki lunch and the gin! See you again! :)

“The best local Nagasaki tour guide”
Sho was an amazing host who was very welcoming to us straight away. We have travelled to many destinations and been on many tours. This tour will stick in our mind as our favourite. Sho managed to navigate a very busy festival, helping us along the way. With rainy weather we had to make some adjustments and we also did some very local areas which we would have never seen otherwise. Thank you Sho for this once in a lifetime experience. I can’t recommend Sho or Nagasaki highly enough for visitors.

Hi, Pat! Thank you so much for your amazing review and for visiting Nagasaki, the city I truly love. Even though it was a rainy day, I’m really glad we were able to experience the Lantern Festival and explore the super local neighborhoods together! Thank you for letting me be a part of your family trip. Please come visit again! Next time, let’s go see some real local cats too :D

“Informative and fun”
A delighful young man, with a passion for Nagasaki. He has extremely good English and a great sense of humour. Most importantly, he knows all about Nagasaki, gave us great recommendations for dinner and shopping and aslo took us to the parts of town we wanted to visit and would never have found on our own. Highly recommended.
Shonosuke S.
Hi James and Simon! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the dinner I recommended. Were you able to find any nice pottery afterward? :) I hope your time in Nagasaki became a special and memorable experience. Please come and visit Nagasaki again anytime!

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。
