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.
Glover Garden
Glover Garden (グラバー園, Glover-en) is an open air museum in Nagasaki that exhibits mansions of several of the city's former foreign residents and related buildings. It is located on the hill where Western merchants settled down after the end of Japan's era of seclusion in the second half of the 19th century. The main attraction of the garden is the Former Glover House, the oldest Western-style wooden building in Japan. Thomas Glover (1838-1911) was a Scottish merchant who moved to Nagasaki after the opening of its port to foreign trade in 1859. He later assisted some of the revolutionaries who would eventually overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate in the Meiji Restoration. Active in various industries, including shipbuilding and mining, Glover features prominently in the early history of Japan's industrialization.

Highly recommend this tour!! It is so nice to have a customized experience. Minnie was so great to accommodate everything we wanted to see. We asked to add the Penguin Aquarium, which was so cute! Our driver was also fantastic and had great recommendations (I was not able to walk up a bunch of steps and the driver recommended an alternate temple where he could drive up most of the way and avoid the hills). We also visited China Town (great street food - get the soup dumplings!), cable car down mount Inisa, Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb museum. Museum was sad, but glad we did it. 10/10 tour. Ask for Minnie if you can, she was so kind and informative!

We were on a cruise and decided to take not to take the tour with the cruise. Taiyo Horio was very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. As well the other tour guide. Great tour.

We traveled to Japan as 3 couples, and we had a wonderful day in Nagasaki with our guide Hiromi at the end of March. Such was her expertise that we managed to visit 8 attractions, but at no time did we feel rushed. Hiromi clearly loves her city and this came across in her enthusiasm and knowledge. The sublime Kofukaji temple and the quirky Spectacles Bridge were happy places after the horrors of the A Bomb museum and Peace Park. We even had time for lunch in a Japanese restaurant. Thank you Hiromi for making our tour so memorable.
