Activity itinerary

Nagasaki Koshibyo Confucius Shrine and Historical Museum of China

25m
Admission ticket included

[This tour does NOT include a visit to the museum] Dedicated to the Chinese thinker Confucius, the Nagasaki Confucius Shrine symbolises the history of cultural exchange in Nagasaki, which served as the only window of trade during Japan's isolation period. This is Japan's only authentic Chinese-style mausoleum, with vibrant colours, elaborate carvings, and an exotic feel.

Glover Garden

55m
Admission ticket included

Glover Garden is an open-air museum featuring relocated and restored historical buildings, including Western-style buildings, that were once scattered throughout Nagasaki City. After Japan opened its doors to the world, Nagasaki was one of the first cities to adopt Western culture, and developed as an international trade city. With this background, Glover Garden was registered as a World Heritage Site as part of the Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution. Its excellent location on high ground, offering a scenic view of Nagasaki Port, is also one of its attractions.

Nagasaki Peace Park

Walk through Nagasaki Peace Park, which was built in memory of the victims of the atomic bomb and to pray for world peace. This park is an important symbol of Nagasaki's contribution to world peace, and continues to pass on to future generations the strong message of Nagasaki—peaceful coexistence between different cultures and nations. Together with the English-speaking guide, see the Peace Statue and the Fountain of Peace within the park grounds.

Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum

15m
Admission ticket included

[Morning Tour Only] The tour includes a visit to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. [IMPORTANT NOTICE] The afternoon tour does not include admission to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum.
