What travelers think of our Japan experiences
What you’ll do
Peek behind the heavy curtain of Nagasaki’s tragic past, and open your eyes to the beauty of the city as seen by its locals. From following your host past Dutch Slope (housing Western residences from the late 1800s) to seeking out Daion Ji temple’s statue of a Buddha and child – a reference to the Christian Madonna – your host will show you how cultures in Nagasaki conflate rather than clash. Visit landmarks with secrets of their own, like Daitoku-ji temple’s great camphor tree (the biggest in Nagasaki, with a temple tucked away between the roots and branches) or listen to legends of samurai warriors at the Teramachi cemetery, where centuries of stories lay sleeping amongst moss-covered stones and trees.
