Meeting Point
Meeting Point

Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum
We will visit the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum for about 1 hour.
Hypocenter & Peace Park
We will stroll through the Hypocenter Park and Peace Park, which are located very close to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. While touring the atomic bombing ruins, let's feel the history of the atomic bomb and the reconstruction in Nagasaki.
(Optional) Urakami Church
Urakami Church is a Christian (Catholic) church. It was destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945, but was rebuilt in 1959. Near the church, there is an atomic bomb relics exhibition room, and around the church, several atomic bombing ruins remain.
Lunch@Local restaurant
Let's enjoy lunch at a local restaurant!
(Optional) Sanno Shrine
Sanno Shrine is located about 800 meters from the hypocenter and is known for having suffered atomic bomb damage. In particular, the "A-bombed camphor tree" and the "one-legged torii gate" are famous, making it a valuable site that conveys the traces of the atomic bomb to the present day.
(Optional) Tateyama District
Nagasaki is known as "the city of slopes"! Let's start exploring local areas by walking down the slopes! Enjoy the great views of Nagasaki’s sloping areas and catch a glimpse of local life.
Suwa Shrine
Suwa Shrine is the most famous shrine in Nagasaki. It is very beautiful and photogenic, offering a wonderful opportunity to capture memorable photos.
(Optional) Teramachi Street
Teramachi Street, as the name suggests ("teramachi" means "temple town"), is a street lined with many temples, hosting 14 temples and 2 shrines. Among them, the Chinese style Kofukuji Temple, well-known for its vermilion gate, comes highly recommended.
Naka-dori shopping street / Hamanomachi shopping street
Nakadori Shopping Street is the oldest shopping street in Nagasaki, with a history of 400 years. It is lined with unique and local shops such as Japanese sweets stores, tea shops, fruit vendors, and more. Enjoy strolling and shopping around!

Nagasaki Tour Reviews
“**Best Tour Guide in Nagasaki**”
Sho says in his video that he will uncover many hidden gems of Nagasaki for his guests who tour with him...but the truth is that HE is one of the precious hidden treasures of Nagasaki! From the pre-planning emails to the final tear-filled goodbye, Sho was an angel friend guiding us each step of the way to having the most meaningful experience imaginable in Nagasaki. He certainly accomplished his mission to make us fall in love with his beloved city. He custom-designed our tour to include many Christian sites that were so meaningful to us, and was so patient as we prayed and took pictures, adding many unknown stories and background information about what we were seeing. He grasp of the English language is fantastic, and he is extremely knowledgeable about all of the cultural and historical background info without being overwhelming or boring. Quite the contrary, he has a lively personality and is just so much fun to hang out with! He is a foodie, and will show you all of the secret places to get the best local foods, some that we are still dreaming about!! The only thing left to say is that choosing Sho as your tour guide in Nagasaki will be one of the best decisions you could make, and Thank you Sho for the awesome memories! We will never forget you or your beloved city! As we say in Hawaii "Mahalo! (thank you), A hui hou (until we meet again) and Aloooooo-ha!" Peace, prayers, and Blessings, Mark & Rochelle Alo- Maui

“A Fantastic Experience! ”
Right from the outset Sho was responsive to our communications and interested in our needs on the day. He put together a perfect itinerary and was really fun to be with all day, providing a fascinating local perspective. The Atomic Bomb Museum was a sobering start to the day - emotional and poignant. We went to an amazing Japanese garden and then wandered through a number of sights before going onto some local shopping. It was more than we had hoped for! We’d highly recommend Sho to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!!
