About Tour Guide Yuki S.
Hi there, I'm Yuki. Originally from Tokyo, moved to Goto islands , Nagasaki in 2019.
I'm a christian (protestant), and that brought me to live here, the island with the history of Japanese hidden christians.
I'm passionate with meeting new people from different backgrounds, which is why I have multiple types of businesses(a mucician, a chef, a spearfisher, an interpreter, and a guide).
I'm probably a typical islander who is easygoing, relaxing, and enjoy doing multiple things based on the random things happening in this island.
Before we settled down here, my wife and I have traveled over 30 countries for 2 years with a crowdfunded project.
I'm also a learner of multiple languages, Italian (conversational), Spanish and Korean(novice).
I try to be as flexible as possible, based on guests' requests.
I could guide other than Goto, but in that case I would have to ask guests to cover my transportations fee(as you may not know, from/to Goto islands-Nagasaki city, it takes 1-3 hours by ferry or airplane.)
Please feel free to message me!
I'm hoping your trip to be unforgettable.
Important
I do multiple things for living (Music producer, cook, spearfisher, interpreter, etc).
Some days might not be available because of that.
On the other hand, I will try my best to be as flexible as possible for you.
My strong point is, having local connections and multiple experiences/skills above and putting it together to make very unique tours.

“Bad Weather, Great Back Up Plan! ”
Yuki did a bunch of research for this tour in terms of transportation, timing, and boats we could use. But when bad weather hit, he suggested an alternative indoor focused trip on Fukue Island. Although he and the boat operator gave me the option to continue with boat tour, I am glad he had a back up plan that ultimately proved very rewarding. He was only able to have the back up plan by being very communicative with me and knowing what interests I had and was able to customize it. Appreciated his flexibility.

“Highly Recommended Unique Experience Uncovering and Sustaining Hidden Christians Narratives”
With amazing language and multi-cultural skills and personal contacts, Yuki designed a custom trip that introduced me to the difficult, but inspiring history of Hidden Christians. Meeting people who are working, right now, to sustain the history and tradition was the highlight. By learning and seeing the past and developing sites, I now feel charged and empowered to keep their stories alive. Yuki took great care and designed a trip around just me. I will definitely be back and hope to bring friends to spread the news! Even if you don't have a religious background or interest in it or just want to explore the Goto Islands, Yuki clearly works well with different people of all backgrounds and can design trips around Island life generally. Goto Islands is definitely a hidden gem.

“Great Introduction to Hidden Christian Story With a Great Guide”
Yuki-san is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and caring guide! He has a meaningful understanding of the Hidden Christian story on Fukue as well as the other Goto Islands and the Nagasaki mainland. He is willing to be flexible. He paid significant attention to me and learned in real-time to accommodate some needs even before I asked. He cared a lot about my experience in addition to the basic itinerary goals. He suggested transportation, lodging, and dining options. He is ready to consider a custom tour on request. And for me visiting from the US, I was very impressed with his English skills! he is genuinely fluent. Our conversations were completely fluid. He also easily navigated the Japanese language barriers that I would have had on my own. I would not hesitate to have him guide me again and I would highly recommend him!

Thank you so much for your review! It was such a blessing to spend some time with you, the brother in Christ, in my hometown Goto. May your journey be continually blessed by Him and strengthen your faith by what we learned through Japan's Hidden Christian history. You are absolutely a wonderful guest!

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.

Hi, I’m glad you found my page! I’m a local guide based in Kyushu who loves sharing the region’s history, food, and landscapes in a relaxed and friendly way. Think of me as someone who can make your trip comfortable and memorable, while keeping things easygoing and fun. I began guiding to share the history, scenery, and food of my home with visitors from around the world. Before this, I worked in luxury retail, where I learned how important details and genuine hospitality are. Now I bring that same spirit to my tours, making sure every guest feels comfortable, cared for, and free to enjoy their journey. I specialize in private car tours around Kyushu, so you don’t have to worry about train schedules or carrying luggage. We can stop where you like, take things at your own pace, and enjoy the scenery along the way. Onboard you’ll have free Wi-Fi, music, and a comfortable ride—perfect for families, couples, or friends who want both convenience and a touch of luxury. Some of my favorite places to share are: Nagasaki: Peace Park, Atomic Bomb Museum, and the city’s cultural blend Fukuoka: Dazaifu Shrine, city highlights, and Yanagawa’s river cruise with eel dishes Kumamoto: Mt. Aso’s volcanic views, Kumamoto Castle, and Kurokawa Onsen Oita: Hita’s riverside town, plus Beppu and Yufuin hot springs Saga: Arita’s ceramics and the Yoshinogari ancient site Takachiho Gorge: A mystical canyon tied to Japanese legends What I enjoy most is helping guests discover both famous sights and hidden corners of Kyushu, while keeping the experience comfortable and stress-free. Whether you’re drawn to culture, food, history, or beautiful scenery, I can adjust the plan to match your style. I’d love to share my part of Japan with you and create memories that last long after your trip. If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to send me a message. I look forward to welcoming you to Kyushu and showing you what makes this region so special!

In 2025, it's the 3rd year as a private tour guide. I speak English and German a little. My hobbies are knitting, handicrafts of earrings and keychains, writing & reading novels in Japanese, and searching for good cafes. Next year, I'm about starting to garden for vegetables and harbs. The main place of a tour is Nagasaki city, including the war hisotory spots. I'd like to guide you to the cities of Sasebo, Saikai, and Unzen, too, if you hope. But I don't have a driving lisence, so transport while your tour is necessary. I'm good at a family tour for your young kids, too. I like kids, so I'd like to suggest some ideas for their playing in the Nagasaki prefecture.
