Somewhere in the center of Nagasaki

Twenty-Six Martyrs Museum and Monument

The Twenty Six Martyrs Monument and museum are dedicated to the twenty six Christians who were executed here on February 5, 1597. The museum is an underrated gem with a beautiful esthetic feel.

Fukusaiji temple

Unique temple in the shape of a turtle with on top, a giant Kannon, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

Matsumori Tenmangu Shrine

Overshadowed by the grand Suwa Shrine, this unexpectedly beautiful shrine harbors incredibly detailed wood carvings, moss-covered stones and majestic sacred camphor trees.

Teramachi Cemetery

The serene and awe inspiring hillside cemetery is an enormous labyrinth with countless historical gravestones, Buddhist statues and monumental trees with many stories to tell behind every turn and secret corner.

Kazagashira Park

One of the best viewpoints in town.

Maruyama Machi

The former the chief courtesan district of Nagasaki in the Edo period, serving chiefly the Chinese and Dutch communities of the port city. A place breathing history in every corner.

the former Chinese quarters

Not to be confused with Chinatown, this old Chinese settlement hides small temples and little treasures.

Dutch Slope and the international quarters

The many western style houses in this neighborhood are still witness to a bustling period around the time of the Meiji restoration when many Westerners settled in Nagasaki to kick-start the Japanese industrial revolution.

Ending Point

Anywhere in the center where you like to be dropped off
