Nagasaki Tours

This is a map of the 2 main areas of Nagasaki that I specialize in, which is Nagasaki City and the Shimabara Peninsular.

Without a doubt, the most interesting area of Nagasaki Prefecture is the Shimabara Peninsular to the East which is about an hours drive away.  It offers the most picturesque settings, a chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of the City and you will find the most beautiful scenery that you will ever see in the world let alone Japan.

At present the 2 main tours that I do on a regular basis are as follows:





The incredible Peace Park

Tour 1:

Full day Nagasaki and Shimabara Peninsular Sightseeing Tour:



The emphasis of this tour is to allow the customer to diversify their choices and create an opportunity to see more sights within a longer time frame. The Shimabara Peninsular in particular is loaded with many different attractions and one can feel satisfied once the tour is finished as many interesting places have been visited.

Light refreshments and drinks as well as lunch are provided in a relaxed environment within an air conditioned vehicle. Generally pick up times are around 8am and drop off times are at 5 to 6pm.

Lots of smiles and greetings at Shimabara Castle
