Meeting Point
The JR Nagasaki station
- If you're cruise ship passengers, please let me know to meet at the terminal. If so, adding 30 minutes is necessary because of the transport.
The Fukusaiji Temple
Until arriving at the temple, there're some higher slopes & steps, so I won't recommend it who has with damage to legs. But it has the calm atomosphere and an impressive and unique roof. This temple was destroyed perfectly by the atomic bomb blast, and rebuilt to its present form. The Chinese Buddhist goddess has been looking down on the city since then. The admission fee is free.
The Nagasaki Prefecture Culture & History Museum
The admission fee for the regular exhibition is 630 yen per adult. The temporary exhibition fee depends on. Depending on dates, at the museum, you can have an experience of handicrafts like Batik, Nagasaki embroidery, and pottery. If you want to do that, you should pay the fee at the museum factory, and please let me know in advance. The hours will be arranged. The museum is closed on the 1st and 3rd Monday and on December 28th to 31st. If the 1st and 3rd Monday are holidays, the museum is open on those days and closed the next day. And the museum area is available to have lunch, but not Japanese food and only by cash.
The site of Nagasaki Prefecture Air Defence Headquarters
The admission fee is free for everyone. You can go into the shelters. But the location is on a higher slope than the Nagasaki Prefecture Culture & History Museum. So wearing sneakers is necessary. But you may become emotional how hard the officers were working when the atomic bomb felt down on Nagasaki.
Ending Point
After leaving the Headquarters by a cab, a tram or a bus, at the JR Nagasaki station, the tour will end.

About Tour Guide Yuki K.
In 2025, it's the 3rd year as a private tour guide. I speak English and German a little. My hobbies are knitting, handicrafts of earrings and keychains, writing & reading novels in Japanese, and searching for good cafes. Next year, I'm about starting to garden for vegetables and harbs. The main place of a tour is Nagasaki city, including the war hisotory spots. I'd like to guide you to the cities of Sasebo, Saikai, and Unzen, too, if you hope. But I don't have a driving lisence, so transport
while your tour is necessary. I'm good at a family tour for your young kids, too. I like kids, so I'd like to suggest some ideas for their playing in the Nagasaki prefecture.
$129/ per group

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.)

Hydrangeas as the city flower & a hidden Garden in Nagasaki
[This plan is only in June because of the hydrangea's season.] The Megane bashi & the Kofukuji temple, as national heritages, are decorated with hydrangeas as the city flower of Nagasaki in June. The Mihara garden is in a hidden area, and using a cab is much more convenient than using a local bus. However, the garden established by a famous local man will become your favorite place! Ther're some important tips: It's necessary to wear sneakers or non-heel-shoes because of slopes and steps.
