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
Not only Nagasaki, but I can also guide you in Sasebo, Unzen, and other smaller cities in the prefecture if you pay my transportation fee.
When I have no tours on the 2nd Saturday, I do volunteer activities for a non-profit association of peace in Nagasaki.

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.)

Classic culture (+experience as option)& war history near JR Nagasaki Station
Starting at the JR Nagasaki Station, we go to the Fukusaiji temple, the Nagasaki Prefecture Culture & History Museum, and the site of Nagasaki Prefecture Air Defence Headquarters. The history in Nagasaki is not only about the damage caused by the atomic bomb, but you can learn about more as if you're local.

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.

Thank you for booking this tour and for a wonderful day with you on July 4th. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed this tour, regardless of the foggy weather. I, too, enjoyed talking with you about so many topics. I hope we can see each other again! Thank you again, Yuki

“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.
Yuki K.
Thank you for your positive review & the enjoyable evening tour with you. I really enjoyed talking with you the whole time. Thank you 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 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, 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!
