What Is a Private Nagasaki Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visiting from North America and appeared to enjoy the tour. At the Peace Park, they listened with great interest to the meaning of the Peace Statue, the historical background of the Tower of Paper Cranes, and the story of the former prison site that remains in the park. At the Hypocenter Park, they listened with interest to the methods used to identify the exact hypocenter. At the Atomic Bomb Museum, they observed the situation of the bomb's damage very attentively. The guests said, "We were deeply moved." At Dejima, they listened with interest to the reasons Dejima was constructed and the role it later played. Since the guests expressed a wish to have lunch in Chinatown, I guided them to Chinatown, recommended a restaurant, and concluded the tour.

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.

Our tour guide Hiro, was just excellent. He spoke English very well and we could understand him. He was very kind and answered all questions. We never felt rushed but he kept us on a time line to make it to all of our desired destinations. I would recommend this company to anyone for your excursions in Nagasaki
