Atomic Bomb Museum displays the changes in the cityscape before and after the bombing, as well as a number of items left behind after the bombing. Among other things, visitors can learn about what happened on that day in Nagasaki, Japan, through photographs and videos of people who witnessed the horrific scenes of the time. *If you will feel sick from the shocking images, it is possible to change the A-bomb museum to another itinerary.
Urakami Cathedral

The beautiful brick church building with a statue of Mary and the sound of the Angelus bell, which withstood the atomic bomb blast. Visitors can see the painful scars of the atomic bombing up close in the majesty of the church.
Peace Memorial Statue
  • 40m
Peace Park, located on a small hill on the north side of the Atomic Bomb Dropping Center Park, was created with a pledge never to repeat the tragic war and a wish for lasting world peace. The Peace Statue, which symbolizes the wish for peace of the citizens of Nagasaki, symbolizes the love of God and the mercy of Buddha, and is filled with prayers for the repose of the souls of the victims of the atomic bombing. If you look up at the sky above the nearby Atomic Bomb Drop Center monument, you will see an unremarkable sky there.
Glover Garden
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Six Western-style buildings from the Meiji period, scattered throughout the city, have been relocated and restored. The former Glover Residence, the former Ringer Residence, and the former Alt Residence are designated as National Important Cultural Properties and serve as the main buildings. The stone pavement and stone steps, which retain the appearance of the settlement period, further enhance the scent of history and culture. The park is adorned with flowers, creating picturesque scenes for photography. Additionally, the park offers an excellent location with a panoramic view of Nagasaki Port against the backdrop of Mount Inasa, a landmark of Nagasaki City.

Shimabara Castle is a stunning five-story castle built in the early Edo period, known for its elegant white walls and surrounding moats. From the top floor, you can enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Unzen and the Ariake Sea — perfect for photos. Inside, the museum features rich exhibits on Christian history and the Shimabara Rebellion, making it a must-visit for history lovers. You can also enjoy cultural experiences such as samurai armor try-ons and kimono rentals. Nearby, preserved samurai residences offer a glimpse into life during the feudal era.

Shimabara Castle Town (Pass by)
The Samurai Residence Street in Shimabara is a charming historical area where samurai once lived during the Edo period. The street is lined with well-preserved stone walls, thatched-roof houses, and clear water canals where colorful carp swim, creating a peaceful and nostalgic atmosphere. Some residences are open to the public for free, offering a close look at traditional architecture and daily life of the time. This picturesque district perfectly captures the spirit of a castle town and is a must-visit along with Shimabara Castle. *This itinerary is for guests who select the Shimabara route option.
