About Tour Guide Yuki K.
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.
Important
Every 2nd Saturday isn't available because I'm a volunteer member of the Peace Promotion Association.
Not only Nagasaki, I can guide you in Sasebo, Unzen, and other smaller cities in the prefecture if you pay my transportation fee.

The local history in Nagasaki about the damage by the atomic bomb
On 1945 August 9th, the city was damaged by the atomic bomb. In this tour, not only the atomic bomb museum & the Peace Park, but also some local places are available to visit. (August 7th to 9th are not on sale because I'm an attendee of a peace ambassador for the ceremony.)

Hydrangeas as the city flower & a hidden Garden in Nagasaki
[This plan is only in June because of the hydrangea's season.] The Megane bashi & the Kofukuji temple, as national heritages, are decorated with hydrangeas as the city flower of Nagasaki in June. The Mihara garden is in a hidden area, and using a cab is much more convenient than using a local bus. However, the garden established by a famous local man will become your favorite place! Ther're some important tips: It's necessary to wear sneakers or non-heel-shoes because of slopes and steps.

“Fascinating tour in Nagasaki”
Yuki is one of the best tour guides we have had in Japan . She was in touch a couple of times before the tour to see if we wanted to tweak her proposed itinerary. She was wearing a kimono which was a lovely surprise. She took us to a couple of places that we wouldn’t have found on our own and is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the atomic bomb. We learned a lot from her and visited all the main locations and a few hidden gems. She found an amazing cafe for lunch. I can thoroughly recommend her and would use her again if we return to Nagasaki . She is knowledgable, enthusiastic and an all round lovely person !

Hi Karen, Thank you for your super-positive feedback! I, too, enjoyed the tour with you. Mixing requests & hidden gems where most tourists won't notice, is one of my important thoughts. Sharing the history, talking, and the relaxing time at the cafe, which had 2 real dogs...Everything was so lovely:) Thank you again, I'm looking forward to meeting you again at Nagasaki!

“Highly recommended!”
As a solo traveler who doesn't speak Japanese, a great guide is a godsent. Yuki did her outmost to make my time in Nagasaki a memorable experience and took extra care to cater to my preferences. She is one of those rare people that make you instantly relax when you meet her. We had a great dinner at the habour of Nagasaki before going up to mount Inasa to look out on a night-lit city. Yuki was so easy to talk to and really sociable the whole time.

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 had worked for the Japan's biggest travel agency JTB (Japan Travel Bureau) for 35 years as a tour escort for Japanese. I visited 68 countries and of course all over Japan as well. So I’m familiar with almost all of the tourist attractions in Japan. More over I’m also a professional magician now. I’m a member magician of The Magic Castle in Hollywood in US. That's why I made a decision to become an English tour guide. I acquired a tour guide license issued by the Japanese government with a lot of hard work in 2016 and I started from the following year. I work as an English guide approximately 130 days a year. My wife is physically disabled, and I usually care for her. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I receive home care and bathing services, so I am unable to go out during the day as I have to prepare for and clean up afterwards. I am available to guide on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I can take up to four people sightseeing in my private car. I am available at any time during evening tours, such as YATAI tours. I look forward to hearing from you. Please ask me first. If it is possible.

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.
