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

Wonderful and unique tour of the beautiful city of Nagasaki. Our guide Shin was very gracious and accommodating to help us see all we had requested. We went to several specialty shops . We had an amazing experience having tea at a Buddhist temple. A rare and special experience!

Shin made sure we saw the areas we were interested in from the ropeway cable car to the Peace park and Stadium. We had an amazing experience having tea at a Buddhist temple. Best green tea I have ever had. He took us to some specialty shops we had requested. Shin was so gracious and accommodating. One of the best guide experiences we have ever had.

Yuri had expertly prepared an itinerary for the day based on our initial requests as what kind of day we wanted, and asked her to make recommendations from which we could choose. She proposed a truly unique itinerary for Nagasaki that helped us truly understand the linkage between the west snd the east. She was also flexible to adapt to requests from my wife and I as we spent the day together. Her English speaking and comprehension skills were outstanding so we had a fun day getting acquainted. Yuri is a very enterprising young woman and an excellent guide. She loves people and is so genuine it was a pleasure to have her serve as our guide. I can’t recommend anyone more highly. Meeting her was a highlight of our almost 3 weeks in Japan and Korea.
