Hello, I’m Hiroshi, but please feel free to call me Hiro. I am a Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (English), as well as an artist who specializes in painting seascapes and landscapes. My passion for art and travel has always been deeply connected to my love for nature, culture, and the people who live among them. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to guide you around my hometown, Sasebo City, and the nearby regions, including Nagasaki, Omura, Hirado, Arita, Imari, and other charming destinations. Each of these places offers its own unique blend of history, traditions, architecture, and local cuisine, and I take great joy in introducing visitors to the beauty and stories behind them. Before becoming a guide, I worked in international business, engaging with partners from countries such as the U.S.A., the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, India, and Egypt. This experience taught me how to communicate effectively across cultures and has helped me better understand the diverse perspectives of my guests from around the world. In addition to guiding, I also provide interpretation for business meetings and translation services for technical, engineering, and contractual documents. My goal is to offer not only enjoyable tours but also meaningful cultural exchanges that leave lasting memories. If there is anything specific you would like to experience or learn during your visit, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, my hometown, and Japan’s warm hospitality with you.
