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.

We went on two different City Unscripted tours in Nagasaki. Both tours were terrific and the guides fantastic (Sho and Armand). Saw areas and ate in restaurants that we would never have found on our own. Well worth the cost!
