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!

Armand was one of the most knowledgeable, sociable, and engaging tour guides in our experience. We truly enjoyed spending the afternoon with him and sharing a couple food adventures.
