Hi, I’m Armand, your local host in Nagasaki! What I love most about this beautiful city is its rich tapestry of history, culture, and breathtaking views. Nagasaki is a place where every corner tells a story, where traditions thrive, and where you can find some of the best spots to soak in its charm and beauty. I’m deeply connected to Nagasaki’s art scene and love exploring its cultural treasures. Whether it’s wandering through the Teramachi temples, enjoying the serene views from Kazagashira Park, or savoring what I believe to be the best ice cream in Japan, I’m always discovering something special to share. With a passion for history, photography, and sweets, I know Nagasaki’s best photo spots, hidden coffee gems, and the most engaging cultural activities. Let’s explore this unique city together and uncover its many wonders!

My reviews

We visited Nagasaki and while everybody was probably focused on the bomb our guide focused on the actual history of the city which was incredible! The best part was he took us to eat at this place where the owner was somebody he met while doing music. And the food was meticulously prepared with care and love... it was the most amazing thing ever! The whole experience is something I would recommend to anybody EVER!

Armand was a wonderful guide. He had lots of great stories and historical information about Nagasaki and we enjoyed walking with him as he pointed out interesting sites. He was very warm and friendly. We highly recommend him.
