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
Although the name Nagasaki is synonymous with devastating events of WWII, the city is much more than its monuments and memorials – and, with your local host leading the way, you’ll see 10 of its top attractions. You’ll navigate the crisscrossing lanes of Chinatown and celebrate the city’s resilience at Nagasaki Peace Park, then explore Nagasaki at Nakashima river, snapping pictures of Meganebashi bridge and shopping for traditional Japanese sweets at the 200-year-old Iwanaga Baijyuken sweet shop. But, you’ll also see famous temples and shrines, like Fukusai-ji temple (rebuilt as a mausoleum for fallen Japanese soldiers), the one-legged Sanno shrine (its second column was destroyed by the bomb), and Suwa shrine, a survivor of the attack.

Our tour guide Shin, got to know our family while showing us around the town of Nagasaki. Based on the answers we provided him, he combined the history of the city with the local everyday presence of the city. My family was happy and energized to see more of the city and excited to come back again thanks to Shin.

Armand was amazing! He knew the history, which was something I specifically said I was interested in, and he just kept pulling out references. He also recommended amazing places to eat (the restaurant he brought us to for lunch was absolutely amazing and delicious)
