What To Expect
Nagasaki Peace Park
The Nagasaki Peace Park (平和公園, Heiwa Kōen) is a tranquil space that commemorates the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, which destroyed a significant portion of the city and killed tens of thousands of inhabitants. The complex is comprised of two parks and a memorial museum. In the center of the complex is the Hypocenter Park with a simple, black monolith that marks the explosion's epicenter. Not far from it stands a damaged pillar of the former Urakami Cathedral which was destroyed in the blast. Furthermore, there is an area that allows visitors to take a look at a layer of soil below the park's surface where broken roof tiles, bricks and pieces of glass remain from the explosion.
Inasayama Observation Deck
Mount Inasa (稲佐山, Inasayama) is a 333 meter high mountain close to Nagasaki's city center. The summit can be reached by ropeway, bus or car and offers great views over the city. In fact, the night views from Mount Inasa are ranked among Japan's three best night views besides the views from Mount Hakodate and Mount Rokko. Several television and radio antennas and an observation deck with restaurant are located at the summit.

5.00Junichi was a great tour guide. He met us at the cruise port and customized the tour for our family interests. We started the day at Glover gardens and got to learn how Japanese industry evolved. We experienced local lunch in Chinatown and ended the day at the Atomic bomb museum and peace park.
Fun🤗

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Junichi! I booked this private tour for me and family instead of following the cruise ship group. Junichi took us to so many places and had great knowledge about all of them. Junichi was also able to cater the tour to the places we wanted to see and also recommended some other spots not on our list too! We moved around the city by tram which was a great way to get around. In addition, we made a few stops for bao buns, souvenirs, ice cream, and match. Would highly recommend this private tour to anyone wanting a personalized experience of Nagasaki. It was well worth the money!
One day on cruise stop in Nagasaki

5.00When traveling by cruise, we always arrange a private tour/experience for our small group only. On this trip, we were a group of six ranging in age from 21 to 70. We were SO LUCKY to meet our fabulous guide Yoshi and get to know her on our trip. Yoshi made the day interesting, educational, and fun for all of us. She shared the love and history for her hometown of Nagasaki, and let us know that she had been to Pearl Harbor to have that perspective. We wanted to travel by street car to have that experience (it was a great way to get around), and Yoshi reviewed the options with us first thing in the morning to plan our day. We went to the Peace garden and museum (only a nominal charge for the museum), the Dutch trading village, an observation town, and the stone bridges. Yoshi took us to the shopping area so we could finish our day there. We almost skipped the peace museum, because we had been to Hiroshima museum already (SO CROWDED), but it was a completely different experience and we all were happy that we did not miss it. At the Dutch village, Yoshi took us to the key things to see there and explained them to us so we maximised our time in Nagasaki. Highly recommend this tour and especially Yoshi as the guide. She was delightful.
Knowledgeable guide and a perfect way to see the highlights

5.00Our guide Yoshiko Hattori is an excellent Nagasaki guide! She is a local, well versed in the area history and navigates around the city with ease. She is fluent in English and fun to be with. She took us to Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park, Ground Zero, the Nagasaki Ropeway, the Fuchi Shrine and the Spectacles Bridge. She also suggested an excellent reasonably priced sushi restaurant for lunch. We had a great day with her! Thanks Yoshi!
