What To Expect
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.

Our Day in Nagasaki

4.00We had a nice time on the tour. Coco was so nice and friendly, and worked very hard to make sure everything was done correctly. I wish I had not mentioned that one person in our party was gluten free so we could have had a better lunch, but that is not her fault as she was trying to accommodate our requests. We loved visiting the elementary school, and the oldest Catholic Church in Japan. We ended the day at Glover Garden and walked back to the ship since it eas so close.
Beautiful port day in Nagasaki

5.00Arriving in Nagasaki on a cruise we met our guide, Hiromi, and driver, Maehata, at the terminal exit. We were a group of four with one person disabled and needing a mobility scooter. This was no problem for Hiromi and Maehata and they did everything possible to ensure we had a smooth and seamless tour. We visited the Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace park, Chinatown, Urakami Cathedral, Nabekammuriyama lookout and Glover Gardens. Hiromi had organised lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant and even bought us a special beef dish as an extra. Maehata provided us with water, snacks and a special tea drink and his Toyota Alphard was luxurious and perfect for our group. Hiromi's passion for Nagasaki was evident and we all enjoyed our day immensely!

5.00Great tour of Nagasaki. Our guide, Coco did a very nice job. We toured the Peace Park and Atom Bomb Museum which were well done and very sobering. We also saw the Sofukuji Temple and Glover Garden. It took a full day and lots of walking but was worth the time spent.
Thank you, Hiro!

5.00Hiro was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and wanted us to have a great experience…which we did! We asked to tweak the itinerary, and he didn’t miss a beat. Even found us a local restaurant, which was great.
Pleasant visit to Nagasaki

5.00Our tour guide, Rikako, contacted me immediately after booking this tour. She kept in constant contact, which was very reassuring. We loved spending the day with Rikako. She is a resident born in Nagasaki and offered many personal stories as well as historical ones. She is knowledgeable an answered my husband’s many questions. Rikako was also flexible in what we chose to do and was easy to work with. We wish her the best as she continues on in her work.
The best of Nagasaki

5.00Thank you to our local Nagasaki born and bred tour guide, Rikako, and our driver, Mr. Sakaguchi, for the wonderful private customized tour! Despite the rare and unusual on/off snow/sleet earlier in the day (made it very unique), we learned a lot and really enjoyed our time seeing the sites we requested, from the Atomic bomb museum to visiting the Peace Park to the Oura Cathedral. We never felt rushed during the trip. We had a yummy lunch at a local Tonkatsu restaurant suggested by Rikako as well got in some shopping at the gift stores. Rikako also gave us each a nice gift at the end of our tour. You made our experience very special. Highly recommend to those who want a more tailored tour and experience.
Enjoyed our tour. Guide was informative and very pleasant
