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

The guests had expressed a preference for wanting to see the city with as little strain as possible, so I selected relatively flat areas to help make the day comfortable. I also shared the relevant information with the driver, who kindly prepared a step for the vehicle. There was interest in visiting Glover Garden, but since there are quite steep slopes within the grounds, I explained that it might be difficult and helped the guests reach an understanding. Even so, I made every effort to help them get to know Nagasaki. It seems they enjoyed the tour.

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 🙂
