What you'll do

The only way to comprehend Nagasaki’s resilience is to see it through the eyes of someone who lives here – like a local host! You could be blown away by intricate architecture and flawless nature at Nagasaki’s temples and shrines, like popular Suwa shrine, 400-year-old Shōfuku-ji (one of the “four fortune temples of Nagasaki”), or the picture-perfect Wakamiya Inari shrine, tucked away between mountains. Maybe you want to get a true taste of how locals live on the inner-city shopping streets of Siebold-dori and Naka-dori (and try some fusion food at Nagasaki Chinatown), or simply choose to take a moment to appreciate how Nagasaki’s incredible people have rebuilt their city at Tateyama Bomb Shelter or the Nagasaki Peace Park.

Where you’ll go

With your local insider as your GPS and guidebook, you could explore Daikoku, the thriving hub at the heart of Nagasaki, packed with shops, restaurants, and bars along the main strip. Maybe you’ll head three miles north to one of the city’s most frequented areas, the Heiwa district, home to the important Nagasaki Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum. The Teramachi district (also known as Temple Town) is a must-visit labyrinth of moss-covered gravestones at the hillside Teramachi cemetery, but maybe you’ll be most excited about a peaceful stroll (stopping off at a cafe for a drink or some traditional Japanese sweets) along the Nakashima riverside to the city’s famous stone bridge, Meganebashi, whose reflection resembles a pair of spectacles!

    We loved sightseeing with Armand. He was very helpful and took us around the city. We enjoyed seeing where the Dutch settled in Japan. Fascinating history. He took us to a great little restaurant. His English was great. We had a lot in common as we had lived in The Netherlands also. He was very flexible as to what we wanted to see.

    Mr Kinoshita was very knowledgeable about Nagasaki history and sights. He accommodated our time and changes to the program. He wanted us to spend as much time as we liked at all the sights. More than anything we really liked his company as he is a very interesting person from his background. We really enjoyed our day in his company and strongly encourage anyone to ask for him as a guide.
