Nagasaki tours

Things to do in Nagasaki

Nagasaki's notoriety as the site of the second atomic bomb dropped during World War II often overshadows the Japanese city's long and interesting history. Learn about Nagasaki's relationship with 17th and 18th century Dutch traders and drink in the city's many cultural attractions on a private Nagasaki tour with a local guide. Begin your day with a wander around the Dejima Wharf area, where you can learn about Japan's early trading history. Walk along Temple Row and admire the beautiful religious architecture of the nine temples lining the quiet riverside street. Be sure to stop at Megane-bashi, or Spectacle Bridge, the most picturesque of a collection of 17th century stone bridges that cross the Nakashima-gawa. End your day with a reflective walk through Peace Park, commemorating the atomic bombing of the city in 1945. Your guide is happy to design a private Nagasaki tour that reflects your unique interests in this romantic and history-rich Japanese city.
