This school is one of the most damaged by the atomic bomb due to a shorter distance from the hypocenter. Now, as the school shelter, only this school remains shelters that were used during the war. The school building has already been repaired perfectly. You can visit the shelters & the free museum. The exhibitions are only in Japanese, but there are many pictures. Some staff members from this museum can speak English.

He is one of the most hard-workers for the recover from the damage by the atomic bomb. He's also a devout Catholic convert, graduated the medical university of Nagasaki. He was born in Shimane, but since the university days, he kept himself in Nagasaki. As a radiation physician, a Catholic believer, a writer, and a father of 2 children, until the day I die from the worsening of leukemia, he did his best for everyone. Also, you can see his small house in the rest of his life.

You can see both of the repaired cathedral & the miniture of the one after the damage by the atomic bomb. The cathedral museum is free for everyone. But the cathedral wants a donation of 100 yen per group by cash. In the cathedral, nobody can take photos or wear caps. This cathedral has a high slope, so if you have some injures on your legs or back, this cathedral should be skipped. In the Heiwa-area in Urakami block, there are some modern cafes, so you can have a breaktime if you need.

This is the most damaged school due to a shorter distance from the hypocenter. This school has a newer building for the present students, and keeps the damaged one as a museum. The admission fee is free for everyone. So you can learn about the history as if you're a local. However, because it's too old building, so a seismic reinforcement work is necessary after the peace ceremony on August 9th 2025, and be closed for a few years. After the work in a few years, this spot will be included in this tour again.
