Japanese Tea ceremony experience

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.
