Nagasaki tour

Yoshiharu is a very good guide. He was our guide in and around Nagasaki. He is very professional. Nagasaki is a very sobering experience and he made the tour very educational. Every step of our tour ran very smoothly. The timing was good with enough time to see the sights and still get to the next destination. All in all Yoshiharu is a very professional and personable guide. We can highly recommend him.

Yoshiharu S.
