Title: What Is a Private Nagasaki Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum

The guests were a group from North America who appeared to enjoy the tour. The itinerary included Peace Park, the Hypocenter Park, the Atomic Bomb Museum, and the Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture, where they showed great interest in learning about the extent of the atomic bomb damage, the methods used to identify the hypocenter, and the historical role Nagasaki played during the era of national isolation. For lunch, they preferred Japanese food other than sushi or sashimi, so I guided them to the restaurant area of the Yumesaito Shopping Center and let them choose a restaurant to their liking. The tour concluded once I had guided them to the restaurant area.

Hello, I’m Hiroshi Kuribayashi, but you can just call me Hiro. I’m thrilled to be your guide around my hometown, Sasebo City, and the neighboring areas, such as Nagasaki, Omura, Hirado, Arita, Imari, and more. I love showing guests around these beautiful places, including their nature, history, food, and more.

Before I ventured into guiding, I worked as a businessman, handling international business affairs with various countries such as the U.S.A., U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Egypt, and more. Drawing from my business background, I offer interpretation services for business meetings and translation services for engineering and contractual documents. If there’s something specific you’d like assistance with, feel free to let me know.
