Hello there! I'm Sho, your friendly local host here in Nagasaki. What captivates me most about Nagasaki is its rich history and multicultural coexistence. The blend of Japanese, Western, and Chinese flavors in our food culture never fails to amaze me, and exploring the unique landscapes of Nagasaki, fondly known as 'the city of slopes,' fills me with joy. You'll often find me enjoying a cup of coffee at my favorite local coffee shop or wandering along the stairways of our sloped mountains, soaking in the beauty of our city. As a Nagasaki enthusiast, I know this city like the back of my hand. Whether it's uncovering hidden gems or exploring the vibrant city center, I've got you covered. I'll ensure you experience the true essence of Nagasaki – its history, culture, and warm hospitality. Let's embark on this adventure together!

My reviews

Our guide, Sho was exceptional. He altered the trip, after meeting us, to visit other stores and sites he thought we would enjoy. We had a lovely picnic under the full bloom cherry blossoms that was so memorable. Everything about the experience with Sho and the Tour company was fantastic. They stayed in contact with us the weeks before our visit and everything went so smoothly and we enjoyed every minute! I would highly recommend Sho and this company. We were so impressed we are booking a similar tour when we are in Tokyo.

Sho was fantastic. He built the perfect day for us with a combination of shopping andical culture. We had the most perfect picnic under the full bloom cherry blossoms. If was wonderful learning about Nagasaki and the local culture and food specialities. I hope anyone booking this trip is lucky enough to have Sho show them his Nagasaki.

Sho was a super friendly, informative and considerate guide. We asked a lot of non-food questions and he was enthusiastic about answering all of our questions.
