Our Story
Why We Started Nagasaki Private Tours
Hello everyone, we are Hiro and Vichka, the husband-and-wife team behind Nagasaki Private Tours Co., Ltd.
We run this company together, built on our shared passion for travel and meaningful cultural experiences. As avid travelers, we have journeyed to more than 40 countries side by side, discovering that the greatest value in life comes not from owning things, but from the memories, perspectives, and connections gained through travel.
During our trips abroad, we often hire local guides. With their help, we gain a deeper appreciation of each destination — its culture, history, and the everyday life that shapes the people who live there. These encounters have shown us how transformative and enriching a good guide can be.
Now, we stand on the other side — as hosts.
We want to offer that same depth of understanding to guests from around the world by introducing them to our beloved hometown, Nagasaki. Our mission is to share not only its natural beauty but also its rich history, cultural heritage, and the warm hospitality that defines this city.
While Nagasaki Private Tours was founded by the two of us, our team has grown to include dedicated staff members who share our passion for exceptional service. Together, we work as one to ensure every guest enjoys an unforgettable, personalized experience.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the Nagasaki we know and love.
Nagasaki Private Tours Co., Ltd.
