Hello, my name is Masaaki and I have lived in Nagasaki for more than 60 years. When I was 16 years old, I studied at a high school in the USA as an exchange student for one year. More than 2, 000 students from all over the world were studying under the same program and it was a great experience for me to learn about the different cultures of the world through talking with them. I still like to travel and make trips several times a year, domestic and overseas, whenever I am free. During my career, I welcomed numbers of important business clients and colleagues from overseas and it was my duty to show them the history, culture and beauty of port town Nagasaki, surrounded by beautiful nature. It was a great joy for me, just as guiding good old friends from the distant who took trouble to visit Nagasaki to see me! Port town of Nagasaki has a very unique landscape, the port being surrounded by mountains. If you climb up one of the mountains, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the port where your cruise ship is docked. Nagasaki is located at the west end of Japan and closest to Asian Continent (and to Europe also) and this again brought a very unique feature to Nagasaki's history as once "sole international trading port in Japan" during the national seclusion period, which we will discover during the tour. Starting from the mountain, the tour will take you to Nagasaki Peace Park area, cultural heritage area (Glover's Garden, Dejima and etc) which can be seen only in Nagasaki. There are many other places to see, such as various Christian heritage sites. I am ready to customize your tours according to your expectations. Nationally Certified Guide-Interpreter (English,CertNo.EN00069) I am not a professional driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Nagasaki is an international port town uniquely surrounded by a beautiful nature, mountains and a sea, geographically located at the far west end of Japanese Archipelago and closest to Europe through China. It was once the sole international trading port in Japan. In the 16th century, Catholic was propagated to Nagasaki, however due to the political and religious struggle, Nagasaki turned into the place of persecution, now the Catholic sacred place. During country industrialization, Nagasaki played an important role in building military armaments and consequently became the target of the Atomic Bomb. Now Nagasaki has been totally recovered to be a tourist city welcoming more than forty cruise ships every year. During the tour, you will enjoy the spectacular scenery of the city and the view of your cruise ship from 333 meters high observatory. I will also take you to several sites loved by the locals which make Nagasaki unparalleled.
We had a wonderful and very informative tour of Nagasaki with our guide Masaaki k! We all learned so much about this beautiful city and its tragic past however we had only booked a half day and wish we had had more time! Mack excelled at ordering our transport to get around the city so quickly and we would highly recommend him for your tour of Nagasaki!
Masaaki was a wonderful guide. He took the time to answer all of our questions. We learned so much. Highly recommend!
Masaaki was an excellent tour guide. Despite the rainy weather the tour was custom made for us. Masaaki explained things well. Sites were moving particularly the atomic bomb museum.
