Title: What Is a Private Nagasaki Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

Due to a miscommunication with the driver, we ended up taking the slope car instead of the ropeway as originally planned. I felt we may have spent a little too much time on this, and since I was also unable to board the same slope car as the guests, they seemed to be feeling somewhat frustrated. Because of this, at the Atomic Bomb Museum I picked up the pace a bit and skipped some of the explanations I usually give, so that we could complete the entire itinerary. The guests asked how long they would be able to stay at the next stop, and since it is a compact town, I explained that we could get around efficiently and therefore allocate a certain amount of time accordingly.

Hello, I’m Rikako, but please call me Coco. It would be my absolute pleasure to show you around my hometown of Nagasaki. Having performed in the Nagasaki Kunchi Festival in my childhood, I developed a deep interest in history and cultural exchange. This motivated me to become a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter during my university years. Since then, I have gained valuable experience—from assisting ambassadors at the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony to handling a wide variety of tours, including private and coach tours, site inspections, international conference support, and VIP hospitality.
Explaining about Nagasaki’s history and culture is the most important to me. It is not only about this. I would love to provide genuine care so that your time in Nagasaki remains in your heart forever.
I’m truly looking forward to guiding you in Nagasaki 🙂
