Title: What Is a Private Nagasaki Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on the Atomic Bomb Sites, Meganebashi, and Dejima
The guests were a group from North America who seemed to be enjoying the tour. In Nagasaki, they first wished to visit sites related to the atomic bombing, so I guided them to the Atomic Bomb Museum, the Hypocenter Park, and the Peace Park. The guests were interested in history and culture, and they explored each destination with great enthusiasm. Afterward, I guided them to Meganebashi (the Spectacles Bridge), and they listened with interest to the background of how the bridge was built. For lunch, at the guests' request, I took them to Chinatown. At Dejima, they listened with great interest to the historical background of how Dejima was constructed.

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
