Meeting Point

At a hotel lobby

The Confucius Temple

We visit this temple, including the temple museum, as the first point.

Leave the Confucius Temple & walk to the Site of the Chinese Settlement

The settlement is outside Chinatown. This city has a deep history of trading with China. The settlement area was reserved exclusively for Chinese merchants. To the settlement, there is a slope, so wearing sneakers is best.

Arrive at the Site of the Chinese Settlement & visit there

Because China doesn't have a Catholic culture, the Chinese merchants could live outside Dejima. There are some small Chinese buildings, but you can find that the merchants were freer than the Dutch merchants.

Leave the settlement & walk around the Chinatown

Most restaurants in Chinatown open from 11:30 am, so that we can walk around the area and visit some shops. As a recommendation, the area has a Ghibli goods shop, a Kimono shop, and a sweet shop.

Have lunch at a restaurant in the Chinatown

Following your requests, I suggest the best restaurant for our lunch. I would like to ask you whether you like drinking or not, too, due to the drink menu in a restaurant.

Leave the restaurant & walk to a Chinese temple

As my recommendations, there are the Sofukuji temple, the Kofukuji temple, and the Fukusaiji temple. 2 of the former temples are on Temple street, Tera-machi, where avaiable to walk from Chinatown. But the latter temple has a big impression, is farther from Chinatown, and closer to the JR Nagasaki station. If you prefer visiting the latter temple, we can use a tram or a bus to the JR station area and walk up the stairs. Some temples have Goshuin stamps, so if you collect stamps, please let me know. I'm collecting stamps, too!

Arrive at a temple & visit 2 temples totally

If you want to visit the Kofukuji temple, visiting the Megane stone bridge is included. The stone bridge was designed by the 2nd-generation owner of the Kofukuji temple. A way to every temple is rough, so wearing sneakers is best. Please don't wear pumps or high heels.

Leave the 2nd temple & back to the meeting point

If you need to, we can take a tram or bus to the meeting point. If you prefer a taxi, you can be free to call a taxi, too.

Arrive at the meeting point
