A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

The only way to comprehend Nagasaki’s resilience is to see it through the eyes of someone who lives here – like a local host! You could be blown away by intricate architecture and flawless nature at Nagasaki’s temples and shrines, like popular Suwa shrine, 400-year-old Shōfuku-ji (one of the “four fortune temples of Nagasaki”), or the picture-perfect Wakamiya Inari shrine, tucked away between mountains. Maybe you want to get a true taste of how locals live on the inner-city shopping streets of Siebold-dori and Naka-dori (and try some fusion food at Nagasaki Chinatown), or simply choose to take a moment to appreciate how Nagasaki’s incredible people have rebuilt their city at Tateyama Bomb Shelter or the Nagasaki Peace Park.

Miki showed us an amazing set of highlights in Nagasaki. Temples, historic districts, memorial sites and beautiful parks. We even caught the sun setting over the ocean, thanks to her perfect planning. Highly recommended!

Shin was a terrific guide. He contacted me early to ask what we were interested in and he tailored our tour to fit our interests. We toured the Nagasaki Peace Park and Museum. He made sure we tasted the delicious local ice cream cones that are shaped into roses! Then we made our way to a local curry house that we would never have found on our own. We also got to see the Nagasaki Bay from two vantage points. Once he saw how many times we mentioned the cats we saw, he took us to a cat temple/shop and we were able to buy original omiyage for our friends there! I would highly recommend Shin. We then went up up up to a temple that had a mochi/manju shop run by an older lady. I was sad to hear that she would be closing her business because no one would take over from her. She made the machi the old way, with mochiko made into mochi then putting the bean paste and rolling it into a bun. It was delicious! Shin disappeared and we worried that we lost him, but he had heard one of us mention hot coffee to go with out mochi and he ran off to buy us some! So very thoughtful! Then I remembered that my MIL wanted this special chocolate and he found it for us at a pop up store. He went above and beyond the scope of a regular guide. I'd give him 25 million stars if I could! I was worried that we were going over our trip time and i knew he had another commitment so I told him we could find the train station but he insisted on taking us back there. Shin, thank you for a great walking tour and for taking such good care of us. The tram rides were fun and the all the stairs and walking meant I could eat a very good dinner! Lori Tanaka
