START
10:30 Peace Park
Peace Park was constructed with the wish and vow that such a tragic war would never be repeated. Offer prayers to the 9.7 m statue of peace.
11:30 Urakami Tenshudo Church
As one of the representative Catholic churches of Japan, this cathedral attracts many tourists. In the church, a statue of the Virgin Maria is preserved, transmitting a message of grief stemming from war.
12:30 Dejima
During Japan’s period of isolation, this seaport was the only window to Western countries. There are still some historical remains, designated as national historic sites, reminding us of those days.
13:30 Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown
A cross roads extending a total of 250 m from north to south and from east to west, the streets are lined with Chinese restaurants. “Champon” and “Saraudon” noodles are Nagasaki’s local specialty dishes. Why not try them at lunch time?
15:00 Oranda-zaka (Dutch Slope)
After lunch, why don’t you stroll on this beautiful stone-paved slope? Feel the breeze of Nagasaki and get refreshed in a historic and exotic atmosphere.
15:15 Oura Tenshudo Church
The oldest existing church in Japan, built in 1865. Witness the celestial light passing through the wonderful stained glass windows, some of which are 100 years old.
16:00 Glover Garden
Glover Garden is the most famous tourist attraction in Nagasaki. A fine, sweeping view of Nagasaki’s townscape can be seen from this hilltop location. The nostalgic and unique Western-style house is a must-visit. Various flowers bloom in the garden, and a heart stone, a symbol of love fulfillment, can also be found there.
17:30 Mt. Inasa
Make the day complete on the mountain top. A ropeway takes you up to a “million dollar night view.” Let your mind dwell on memories of your trip while soaking up the romantic night view.
