What Is a Private Nagasaki Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The tour proceeded in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The guests looked very attentively at the exhibits at Oura Cathedral and during the visit to a local high school. We also talked about high school life. We had planned to take the Inasayama Ropeway up to the observation deck, but since the ropeway was crowded with groups, we headed straight to the observation deck instead. After that, since some of the guests preferred certain food options, I recommended a suitable restaurant in Stadium City, while the others were able to buy whatever they liked at a supermarket. At Shiroyama Elementary School, the guests looked at the exhibits with great interest. They were particularly interested in the places where children had been affected and in how children are now carrying on the message of peace. At Glover Garden, the guests enjoyed the stories very much.

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 🙂
