Itinerary
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!
Meeting Point
Nagasaki Port, or the hotel you are staying at, or Nagasaki Station and so on.
Atomic Bomb Museum
The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum covers the history of the drop of the bomb accessible form of a story. It begins with the disastrous scene of the attack and includes the events leading up to the dropping of the atomic bomb, the reconstruction of Nagasaki up to the present day, the history of nuclear weapons development, and the hope for a peaceful world free of nuclear weapons. ※Enrance fee: JPY 200
Hypocenter
In the center of the complex is the Hypocenter Park with a simple, black monolith that marks the explosion's epicenter.
Peace Park
Nagasaki Peace Park was established in 1955 near Ground Zero where the Atomic Bomb was dropped at 11:02 am on Aug. 09, 1945. It was opened as a memorial for the victims and to send the world a message for peace.
At a local restaurant
If you would like, you can enjoy our signature food champon(noodles) or else.
Mt. Inasa
Mount Inasa is a hill to the west of Nagasaki which rises to a height of 333 meters (1,093 ft). The Nagasaki Ropeway or Slope Car allows visitors to travel to the top. There is an observation platform that is popular with tourists as it provides beautiful views of Nagasaki's "10 Million Dollar Night View"
※We will take a taxi for the round trip to get to ropeway or street car station.
Unique streets with rivers, temples and the oldest shopping area
You can enjoy walking around the streets, but we should not miss Megane-bashi bridge. It is said to be the oldest stone arch
bridge in Japan and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property. It received the nickname “Spectacles Bridge” because its
two arches and their reflection in the water create the image of a pair of eyeglasses.
Arrive at your hotel or the other place in the city

・Regarding the lunch, if you have something you would like to try or you can't eat, please tell me. I'll do my best to find the restaurant which meets your requests.
My father was an atomic bomb survivor. As a local guide of Nagasaki and the second generation of the atomic bombing, I am so honored to talk about our past mistakes and share the time to pray for world peace with my clients. Also, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of our town from Mt. Inasa. If you would like to hike up to the top of the mountain without taking a slope car or a ropeway, it will be fun, too. In that case, it will take two hours or so to get to the summit. Then, walking around Nakashima-gawa river is a relaxing experience while seeing stone bridges, temples, and the oldest shopping street of our town.
This tour includes my favorite sites of Nagasaki City and I highly recommend to book

“Absolutely wonderful tour of Nagasaki with Yoshiko”
My wife and I just returned from a 5-hour tour of Nagasaki, and we both agreed that this was the best tour we have ever experienced (and we have taken many). Prior to the tour date we made numerous revisions to the tour and Yoshiko was very flexible and patient with us. Her English is impeccable - absolutely no communication problems. And she knows all there is to know about Nagasaki. She met us outside the Viking cruise disembarkation area, and brought us by taxi to our first destination, a beautiful Shinto Shrine. From there we walked through lovely neighborhoods and visited many local shrines and temples. We avoided all the typical tourist destinations and saw sites we never would have found on our own. After a pleasant light lunch and more neighborhood sightseeing we ended at Glover Gardens - which is lovely, with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Yoshiko shared many fascinating stories. We will never forget our day in Nagasaki with our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide Yoshiko.

Thank you so much for hiring me as your guide this time! I'm also deeply honored and truly appreciate this wonderful review. I am so glad to know you both enjoyed this Nagasaki tour with me. Also, I really enjoyed our conversations. Getting a sense of your personalities through our talks, I felt you are a truly lovely couple. We certainly walked a lot during the tour! I hope you are not too tired now. Please take it easy and relax. Please do give her a big "hi" from me. I hope to see you both some day again ! Best wishes, Yoshi

“Nagasaki Pilgrimage Tour With Yoshiko”
We had a wonderful experience with Yoshiko (Yoshi) as our private tour guide in Nagasaki. She tailored the tour to our interests, taking us to meaningful sites such as Urakami Cathedral, Nyokodo, the Nagai Takashi Memorial Museum, Nishizaka (St. Philip) Church, the 26 Martyrs Museum and Relics, Nakamachi Catholic Church, the Lourdes Grotto at Hongomachi Church, and more. She also made it possible for us to attend Mass at St. Philip’s as we had hoped. Yoshi was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and always attentive to our pace, while also keeping us right on schedule. She even went above and beyond by helping us secure train and bus tickets for the next part of our journey. Yoshi was truly one of the best guides we had during our trip to Japan, and we highly recommend her to anyone visiting Nagasaki.
Yoshiko H.
Thank you so much for your detailed five-star review despite your busy schedule. It was truly a memorable day for me as well to be able to join you on the pilgrimage tour. I had a wonderful time feeling your kind personalities. Please do come visit Nagasaki again. I will be waiting for you from the bottom of my heart. Best wishes, Yoshi

The local history in Nagasaki about the damage by the atomic bomb
On 1945 August 9th, the city was damaged by the atomic bomb. In this tour, not only the atomic bomb museum & the Peace Park, some local places are available to vist. However, the Shiroyama elementary school museum is closed after the peace ceremony on August 9th, 2025, because of Seismic reinforcement work for a few years. So until the day August 6th, this school museum is included in this tour. (August 7th to 9th are not on sale because I'm an attendee of the peace ambassador for the ceremony.)
