Overview
Make the most of your time in Nagasaki with a private shore excursion from Nagasaki Cruise Port, combining important historical sites, cultural landmarks, and spectacular city views. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle and enjoy a flexible sightseeing experience without the constraints of a large group tour.
Your excursion begins with convenient pickup directly from Nagasaki Cruise Port, allowing you to start exploring as soon as you leave your ship. With private transportation throughout the tour, you can travel comfortably between Nagasaki’s key attractions without having to keep pace with other travelers.
Your first stop is Nagasaki Peace Park, a peaceful and meaningful space dedicated to remembering the victims of the atomic bombing and promoting the hope for lasting world peace. Take a moment to explore the park and see the famous Peace Statue, one of Nagasaki’s most recognizable landmarks.
Continue to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, where exhibitions explore the events surrounding the atomic bombing, its devastating impact on Nagasaki and its people, and the city’s continuing message of peace. The museum provides important historical context and an opportunity to reflect on one of the defining events in Nagasaki’s history.
Next, travel to the historic Minamiyamate district, an area closely associated with Nagasaki’s international heritage. Visit Oura Cathedral, widely recognized as Japan’s oldest existing church building and part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region. Admire its historic architecture and learn about the Christian heritage that developed in Nagasaki.
Continue to Glover Garden, a beautifully preserved hillside area overlooking Nagasaki Harbor. Explore the historic Western-style residences and gardens while discovering more about the foreign merchants and international influences that helped shape Nagasaki during Japan’s period of opening to the outside world. The elevated location also provides attractive views across the harbor and city.
Your final sightseeing stop is Mount Inasa, one of Nagasaki’s most famous viewpoints. From the mountain, enjoy expansive panoramic views across Nagasaki, its harbor, and the surrounding mountains. It is a memorable way to finish your sightseeing before returning to the cruise port.
At the end of the excursion, relax in your private vehicle as you are conveniently returned to Nagasaki Cruise Port.
