“ Exception Guide for Nagasaki ”
Yoshi was an exceptional guide for our visit to Nagasaki. She tailored our tour for the day to what we wanted to see and informed us of some very unique sites that we were unaware of. She is relatable and brought history to life with every site that we visited, including very touching personal stories from people she knew who were survivors of the terrible bombing in 1945. The pace of her walking tour was 100% appropriate for our group and I suspect she would cater that to whomever she is showing around. She also assisted us with translation and in directing taxi cabs to the sites we visited. We could not have asked for a more comprehensive tour. 100% satisfied with the time we spent together. Yoshi impressed us with her depth of knowledge, patience and attention to what our group wanted to see and she was flexible when time constraints and weather forced a change to our original plan. An excellent guide for Nagasaki!

Thank you for taking the time to write a wonderful review for me. I am so humbled to receive your genuine heartfelt compliment! I also enjoyed talking with you all and appreciate that you listened so attentively. I hope all of the Pens, Noren, cat's goods, a watch band, wind chime and so on that you bought in the shopping mall yesterday will remind you of Nagasaki. Once again, I am grateful for hiring me as your guide and visiting Nagasaki. Please give my regards to everyone. Yoshi

“ Nagasaki day tour ”
Yoshi was very helpful in setting up the tour for us including telling us which trains to take from Hakata since Nagasaki was a day trip for us. She was very flexible in the scheduling of the sights and also, gave us recommendations of what to see. We went to the Atomic Bomb Museum, Oura Cathedral, Inasayama Observatory and the 26 Martyrs memorial. Yoshi was very informative on all of these sites and also, gave us more insight to other things we saw along the way. Noriko was also very helpful finding a lunch restaurant that could accomodate our son's food allergies. We were very happy with the tour and would highly recommend her.

I appreciate the time you’ve committed to providing me with detailed and nice feedback. I am very happy to know you had a good time with me. About the lunch, thanks to your son's choice, I also tried a new dish. It was delicious and an interesting experience for me. Thank you! I hope you will visit Japan again in near future. Best wishes, Yoshi

“ Fantastic tour with very knowledgeable guide ”
Yoshi gave us an excellent tour of the Atomic Bomb Museum and the Peace Park. Her English is excellent, and she had many personal stories to share. We had a delicious lunch of Chapon, visited the "Spectacles" Bridge and the toured the historic site of Dejima Island. Then we walked down the main old shopping street. All in all it was a perfect tour and a very memorable day. I highly recommend using Yoshiko as your tour guide in Nagasaki!

“ Visited Suwa Shrine, Dejima, Santa Domingo Church (hidden Christians), Glover Gardens, the old Katsuyama School. ”
Without doubt, Yoshi arranged and executed this personalized tour perfectly. I have never had a better tour guide or tour experience. She is extremely knowledgeable about Nagasaki’s history. Her English is excellent. Most importantly, Yoshi went above and beyond what I expect from a guide. Learning in advance that my wife lived and went to school in Nagasaki over 50 years ago, Yoshi tracked down and copied school records from the 1960’s. She then arranged a special visit to the old school. All-in-all she made it the most special day.
