We had a great tour with Hiro. He was very kind and shared with us all the History and interesting things in Nagasaki
We had a great day with our guide, Yuki. She was friendly & knowledgeable & we were able to see the Kofukuji Temple, Nagasaki Museum of History & Culture, Atomic Bomb Museum & Peace Park.
We had a group of 9 family/friends. Yuki Kato was our tour guide and she was amazing!! We had a huge bus so lots of room to spread out and Yuki was extremely knowledgeable! We saw temples, gardens, museums…you name it. Yuki was so kind and very professional. I loved every minute of it and highly recommend Yuki for your next tour.
It was a great experience! Our tour guide was amazing! So much history in this city. Learning about the Atomic bomb site was very informative
We had a marvelous all day tour organized by Japan Awaits, with our guide Satoshi Nishimura. The historic sites we wished to cover were all in the itinerary and Nishimura-san was not only informative on each site we visited, but also provided additional information we would not have uncovered without him. For lunch we went to a restaurant that has served Tempura since 1860 and that was well worth the visit. Highly recommend Japan Awaits and Nishimura-san.
Every thing was arranged perfectly. Tour guides very kind. The manager Ms Kate most dedicated and caring. Nagasaki sure needs a few days not a one day crusie excursion. Beautiful place.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He planned the tourbased on our interest, allow us to see the attractions we chose from their form, such as Peace Park and Museum. In just 8 hours, he taught us about Nagasaki's history at temples, and enjoy some shopping. We had a great time and would tell others about him. We also learned how to use the bus and tram. This tour was worth it!
oura church, meji industrial site and peace park and musuem plus meganebashi bridge was a very full day
