Two days before the tour, our phone numbers will be shared via GoWithGuide, and I hope we can also communicate on the day using apps like WhatsApp. *From Cruise Ship Terminal to the Atomic Bomb Museum... - By bus or tram: Around 40 minutes, with a fare of approximately 300 yen per person. - By taxi: About 15 minutes, costing around 2,500 yen per taxi.

Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum

We will visit the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum for about 1 hour.

***

From Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum to Hypocenter & Peace Park

-> These parks are located right next to the museum.

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.

***

From Peace Park to Urakami Church

-> about 10 mins on foot.

-> about 5 minutes by taxi (less than 1,000 yen per car).

From Peace Park to Sanno Shrine

-> about 15 minutes by taxi (around 2,500 yen per car).

*Suwa Shrine is located uphill, so taking a taxi is highly recommended.

*The Tateyama area is situated on higher ground, so taking a taxi is necessary.

(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.

(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.

***

From Suwa Shrine onwards, most attractions are located in central Nagasaki, so you can easily get around on foot or by tram (150 yen per ride).

Of course, you’re welcome to take a taxi anytime if you prefer. In the city center, taxi fares are typically around 1,000–1,500 yen per vehicle.

(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.

Spectacles Bridge

Spectacles Bridge is Nagasaki’s oldest stone arch bridge, built in 1634 over the Nakashima River. Its twin arches and reflection resemble a pair of glasses, making it a beloved city landmark.

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!

About Tour Guide Shonosuke S.

Hi! I'm Sho! I live in the center of Nagasaki city and work as a YouTuber, podcaster, and tour guide specializing in sharing the charms of Nagasaki.

Actually, I was born and raised in Yokohama, near Tokyo, and worked for about 5 years in Tokyo. However, I fell in love with the culture and history of Nagasaki and moved here in 2020.

Nagasaki has a rich history of international exchange and friendship, established about 450 years ago as an international trading port in Japan. Since then, many people from all over the world with diverse cultures and values have visited this city. I love these stories and histories of Nagasaki.

Nagasaki is often associated with the sad history of the atomic bomb, which is, of course, an important part of this city's history, but Nagasaki has much more than that. I'm looking forward to introducing you to the many charms of Nagasaki!
