My guiding rate is 5,000 JPY hourly (up to 4 pax), and 6,000 JPY hourly (5 to 8 pax), and a Meet-up fee (Guide's transportation fee back and forth to the meeting spot) is 4,500 JPY (in Nagasaki city).
For example, an 8-hour tour for 4 pax costs 40,000 JPY plus 4,500 JPY; 44,500 JPY is the tour price. You pay for this when you book the tour.
Please remember you will pay for the admission of pay facilities and meals on-site.
We might need to rent a car (5 to 8 pax) or hire a jumbo taxi (8 pax max) during the tour. The rental car and taxi costs vary depending on the conditions, so my published tour price doesn't include car costs.
After the negotiation of the tour, I will fix the car-related price and add this price to the published tour price so that you realize the total tour price before you book it.
You only pay the admission of pay facilities and meals on-site.
My coverage areas are all over Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka Prefectures, including the remote islands of Nagasaki. But I live in near Omura city in Nagasaki Pref., so far places from my house cost more Meet-up fee (Guide's transportation back and forth to the meeting place).
Additionally, I work in Nagasaki and Okinawa, in two prefectures for about half a month each place. So if you intend to travel to Okinawa, visit my Okinawa account page, and check my schedule calendar of Okinawa.
On Sunday morning, almost all churches have MASS, so might not be able to observe inside.
Meet-up time can be coordinated after your booking.
Admission fee, parking fee, toll-road fee and lunch fee are not included in guiding fee, so you need to pay them on site.
I can managed to shorten the tour time until 5 hours(minimum), but the tour will be invaluable one, just a driving, so I cannot guarantee the tour quality.
We might not be able to observe inside of the churches because of the church condition(Sunday MASS, special event, etc...).
If you use a rental car or a taxi, you will pay for all cost. I will inform you estimated cost in the proposal tour plan before your booking.
It is possible within my covering area, but you need to pay more meet-up fee depends on my transportation fee, and also waste your time, so I don't recommend you meet-up in remote area from Nagasaki.
We spent a wonderful day with “Hero” in Sasebo. He was an excellent driver and shared with us his in depth knowledge on the places we visited. We highly recommend Hero to anyone when you have the chance!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Hero. He was a wealth of information and made our day fun and interesting. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for great evaluation to me, I really appreciate it. I hope to guide you someday in Okinawa, too! Hero
Today my family of older teen girls, wife and myself had such a terrific day with Hero!! If you are lucky enough to book him you MUST do so! We went to all the best places, he drove us in his clean and air conditioned car, we went to an awesome lunch spot, and he was so flexible with our plans. He also is so incredibly knowledgeable of Japan’s history and literary knows everything there is to know about Nagasaki. You should book him quickly if there is still an opportunity!
