Springtime Serenity Under Blossoming Skies

Hi, I’m Masaaki

Nagasaki

5.0 (9)

When I was 16 years old, I studied at a highschool in the USA as an exchange student for one year. More than 2, 000 students from all over the world were studying under the same program and it was a great experience for me to learn about the different cultures of the world through talking with them. I still like to travel and make trips several times a year, domestic and overseas, whenever I am not playing tennis. During my career, I welcomed numbers of important business clients and colleagues from overseas and it was my duty to show them the history, culture and beauty of port town Nagasaki, surrounded by beautiful nature. It was a great joy for me, just as guiding a good old friends from the distant who took trouble to visit Nagasaki to see me! Portown of Nagasaki has a very unique landscape, the port being surrounded by mountains. If you climb up one of the mountains, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the port where international cruise ship is docked almost everyday. Nagasaki is located at the west end of Japan and closest to Asian Continent (and to Europe also) and this again brought a very unique feature to Nagasaki's history as once "sole international trading port in Japan" during the national seclusion period. After retirement, I started to host international tourists. It is my great joy to talk with them and show them the beauty of my beloved hometown of Nagasaki.

Michael 3 February 2026

Did the full day tour with Senyo around Nagasaki. He is a cool dude! Showed me a lot around Nagasaki that I never would of experienced if it wasn't for Senyo. I just wished I had more comfortable shoes, still, nothing a beer could not fix at end of day. Cheers Senyo, I had a great time today mate. All the best for the future.

Bradley 18 January 2026

Our walking tour with Moe was the highlight of our trip to Japan. She was rightly proud of her city, full of interesting information and local knowledge, tailored the trip to our interests and was delightful company.

Allysha 16 January 2026

We did our walking tour with Senyo who was a great guide and taught us current and past history of Nagasaki. Highly recommend! Great for orientation in the city and surrounds!

Bradley 15 January 2026

Moe san was an exceptional guide she took into account all our requests especially about the first Christians in Japan and Western contact and blended them in with her own suggestions. She was very informative and very friendly. It was a most memorable experience. We were sad to say goodbye.

Rose 2 January 2026

Senyo (my tour guide) was awesome!!! I was able to customize my tour and saw a good variety of sights that I expected and even some that I didn’t expect!!! Senyo went out of his way to ensure that we maximized the time while sharing interesting notes about Nagasaki. Even though I was traveling by myself, I felt very comfortable on this tour. Would recommend for anyone who is short on time or wants to pack multiple sights into a half day.

Keri 25 December 2025

Senyo was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly and well organised. He also made sure we had fun and enjoyed our tour giving us lots of information .
