Hi, I’m Armand, your local host in Nagasaki! What I love most about this beautiful city is its rich tapestry of history, culture, and breathtaking views. Nagasaki is a place where every corner tells a story, where traditions thrive, and where you can find some of the best spots to soak in its charm and beauty. I’m deeply connected to Nagasaki’s art scene and love exploring its cultural treasures. Whether it’s wandering through the Teramachi temples, enjoying the serene views from Kazagashira Park, or savoring what I believe to be the best ice cream in Japan, I’m always discovering something special to share. With a passion for history, photography, and sweets, I know Nagasaki’s best photo spots, hidden coffee gems, and the most engaging cultural activities. Let’s explore this unique city together and uncover its many wonders!

We had a fantastic experience using City Unscripted in Nagasaki with guide Armand. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and tailored the tour to fit our interests. Armand shared fascinating insights into Nagasaki’s history and culture that we would not have discovered on our own. His enthusiasm and passion for the city made the experience truly memorable. City Unscripted and Armand reached out weeks before the tour to ask about our interests and what we'd most like to see, do, eat, experience. I loved this conscientious interaction to create a dream Nagasaki day! Armand met the 4 of us at the Cruise Terminal as planned. Our lunch was one of the best we ate during our 2 weeks in Japan. It was a small restaurant off of the tourist path featuring incredible Wagyu teppanyaki. While every moment was filled with new experiences, the other tour highlight was having tea in a Buddhist temple prepared by the tea master monk! I highly recommend this tour and suggest that you request Armand!
