“The best part of this tour was our guide!!! Yoshi was amazing and able to tell the story of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki from the viewpoint of survivors (her father). She shared many stories about life in Nagasaki, the culture, and shared some amazing views. It was one of the best tours I have had.”
