Want to experience real local life in Nagasaki?

Join me on a walking tour through hidden hillside neighborhoods that are hard to explore without a local guide.

In about 3 hours, we’ll visit:
• Hillside Neighborhood – stroll through a unique hillside residential area where I actually live
• Suwa Shrine – one of the most important shrines in the city
• Nakadori Shopping Street – a charming street with over 400 years of history

I’ll even invite you into my 60-year-old home on the hillside, where you can enjoy a truly local perspective.

Nagasaki is known as the “City of Slopes,” with houses built along the mountainsides, creating a one-of-a-kind landscape and lifestyle.

Come discover the real, everyday Nagasaki with me!

Important:
This tour includes stairs (mostly downhill, some uphill), so it’s best for those comfortable with walking.

    Spectacles Bridge (Meganebashi)

    Spectacles Bridge is a double-arched stone bridge built about 400 years ago and is a landmark of Nagasaki tourism. It is called Spectacles Bridge because the shape of the arches reflected on the water surface looks like eyeglasses. Let's take a commemorative photo here!
