How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Perhaps best known for being the site of a WWII tragedy, Nagasaki has rebuilt itself as one of Japan’s most charming port cities, with culturally significant attractions far beyond museums and memorials. You’ll get a three-hour crash course in navigating Nagasaki, from its lively shopping streets to the peaceful Nagasaki Seaside Park – and get plenty of food recommendations at Chinatown along the way. You’ll see the curiously-shaped Fukusai-ji temple, rebuilt after WWII as a mausoleum for fallen Japanese soldiers, but you’ll also experience the side of Nagasaki’s history you might be less familiar with at the European-style Oura Cathedral and Dutch Slope – a stone-paved street with the former Western-style residences of foreign traders.

Armand our guide was great! He knew a lot about the area and the history. We went through neighborhoods that we would have never found on our own. He also accommodated us w a request to see Cherry Blossoms and took us to a park w over 400 trees. The best part was the tour was in areas w no crowds.

We had a really memorable and enjoyable visit to Nagasaki, thanks to Sanyo. He’s very good company and we gained a really good knowledge of the city’s history. We were lucky to have him as our tour guide.
