About Tour Guide Armando V.
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.

Nagasaki and the Dutch Legacy
To this day, traces of the Dutch legacy can be found everywhere in Nagasaki. With many fascinating stories, this tour delves deep into 400 years of Japanese-Dutch trade relations. It shows how the Dutch lived here, what they traded, what technologies they introduced, who they dealt with, and where they went in the city. But above all, I want to show you how warmly the Dutch are remembered in the hearts of the people of Nagasaki.

“Multi-faceted & passionate ”
Armando is passionate about the multi faceted history of Nagasaki, as seen through the history of the shogun and feudal lords alongside the Dutch and Portuguese influences, as well as the religious rifts of the time. A lot to cover while traversing the hilly city. Armando loves Nagasaki and this engages, educates and entertains, as he tells her story. We would certainly recommend Armando as your guide in Nagasaki.

“Incredibly Personable, flexible, & favorite”
Our day with Armando V was our favorite out of 6 days with other guides! He was so flexible as to schedule and taking us to location’s we wanted to see. He shared so much about Hiroshima that was personal to him and his family line which was impactful. And took us to special places like the Hawai’i ice cream shop. Overall, my family loved his tour the most and would highly recommend. We will use his services again!

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!

I am fascinated by the rich history and culture of the city of Nagasaki and the surrounding area and I take great pleasure in introducing people to what is one of the most unique locations in the world. It is a place of dreams, ambitions, tragedies, resilience and physical beauty. As a resident of Nagasaki for over 40 years and a professor at a university, I have had decades of experience guiding foreign guests around the city and other locations near the city. I have also guided my Japanese students on cultural trips to the U.S., Canada and the U.K. around 20 times. In addition, I have decades of experience conducting courses and lectures on Nagasaki history, Japanese society, Japanese history and contemporary Japanese literature. Although I greatly enjoy encouraging learning and experiences on others, I also thrive on continuing to learn more and every tour is a rewarding experience for me as well.
