Beroende på förhållandena på dagen kan Mt Inasa ändras för denna alternativa utsiktsplats. Med sin utsikt över inloppet till Nagasaki hamn och staden nedanför. Utsikten från Nabekanmuriyama är säker på att lämna Exponering.
Mount Inasa är känt för sin fantastiska panoramautsikt över Nagasaki, särskilt på natten när stadens ljus blinkar nedanför, vilket gör det till en plats som en av Japans tre bästa nattvyer. Toppen nås via en vacker linbana och erbjuder hisnande utsikt över hamnen, de omgivande bergen och de ikoniska landmärkena i Nagasaki. Besökare kan njuta av vandringsleder, utsiktsdäck och ett kafé på toppen, perfekt för att njuta av skönheten i landskapet. Oavsett om du besöker på dagen för vandring eller på natten för den glittrande stadsbilden, lovar Mount Inasa en oförglömlig upplevelse och en perfekt bakgrund för fotografering.
Dejima i Nagasaki är en historisk, solfjäderformad ö som fungerade som Japans enda fönster mot omvärlden under sin isoleringsepok. Ursprungligen en holländsk handelsstation på 1600-talet, är det nu ett fascinerande friluftsmuseum där besökare kan gå igenom restaurerade byggnader, lager och köpmanshus. Varje struktur erbjuder inblick i det kulturella och ekonomiska utbytet mellan Japan och väst. Dejimas unika arkitektur, tidstypiska artefakter och interaktiva utställningar gör det till en fängslande resa in i Nagasakis rika internationella arv.
Nagasaki Chinatown, även känd som Shinchi Chinatown, är Japans äldsta Chinatown och ett levande nav för kinesisk kultur. Det grundades för över 300 år sedan och har färgglada portar, livliga gator och unik arkitektur, vilket återspeglar Nagasakis historia som en hamnstad öppen för utrikeshandel. Besökare kan njuta av läckra kinesiska rätter, från gatumat till traditionella rätter, särskilt under den populära Lantern Festival. Med sin blandning av butiker, restauranger och kulturella landmärken erbjuder Nagasaki Chinatown en livlig, uppslukande upplevelse som belyser stadens djupa kopplingar till kinesisk kultur och historia.
Nagasakis atombombsmuseum ger en kraftfull och nykter inblick i händelserna den 9 augusti 1945, då en atombomb ödelade staden. Genom artefakter, fotografier och personliga berättelser beskriver museet bombningens effekter och dess efterverkningar och belyser de överlevandes motståndskraft och stadens återhämtning. Besökare kan lära sig om bombningens historiska sammanhang, förödelsen den orsakade och Nagasakis pågående engagemang för att främja fred och kärnvapennedrustning. Ett besök på detta museum är en djup upplevelse och en påminnelse om vikten av fred.
Nagasaki Peace Park är en rörande hyllning till offren för atombombningen den 9 augusti 1945 och en symbol för hopp om global fred. I parken finns den höga Fredsstatyn, som symboliserar en uppmaning till fred, tillsammans med skulpturer från hela världen. I närheten delar Fredskällan och Nagasakis atombombsmuseum berättelser om motståndskraft och hågkomst. Nagasaki Peace Park ligger nära bombens epicentrum och bjuder in besökare att reflektera över historien och förnya sitt engagemang för en fredlig framtid.
Oura kyrka, Japans äldsta existerande kristna kyrka, är en vacker symbol för Nagasakis historia och trons motståndskraft. Denna gotiska kyrka byggdes 1864 av Franska missionärer och tillägnades Japans 26 martyrer. Den är känd som ”Japans tjugosex heliga martyrers basilika” och har UNESCO:s världsarvsstatus och fungerar som en påminnelse om Japans dolda kristna samfund. Inuti kan besökare beundra målade glasfönster och en lugn atmosfär, som erbjuder en unik inblick i Japans religiösa arv och dess koppling till väst. Observera att när tiden är begränsad kommer du att ges möjlighet att besöka antingen Oura Cathedral eller Glover Garden. Medan du besöker båda är idealiskt, kan du låta oss veta din preferens när vi anländer till detta område.
Glover Garden i Nagasaki är en naturskön, historisk park fylld med västerländska byggnader från Meiji-eran, inklusive Glover Residence – det äldsta västerländska trähuset i Japan, byggt för skotska köpmannen Thomas Glover. Denna sluttning reträtt erbjuder vackra trädgårdar, hisnande utsikt över Nagasaki hamn, och en inblick i det kulturella utbytet mellan Japan och väst. Varje byggnad berättar om Nagasakis roll som en historisk port till världen, vilket gör Glover Garden till ett måste för alla som är intresserade av Japanska historia och arkitektur. Observera att när tiden är begränsad kommer du att ges möjlighet att besöka antingen Oura Cathedral eller Glover Garden. Medan du besöker båda är idealiskt, kan du låta oss veta din preferens när vi anländer till detta område.

This tour through Nagasaki is fantastic! Pene was so engaged, provided relevant historical and cultural content in a way that was fun and entertaining. We explored several different points of interest and in particular the Atomic bomb museum -very moving.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It lets us know we are in the right track. I loved guiding you all around Nagasaki. I’m glad you enjoyed your tour with us and thank you again for letting us guide you around. Best regards. Pene
This was a fascinating and varied trip, and our guide, Penn was excellent. His local knowledge and understanding of Japanese history was so illuminating. The museum of the nuclear bomb and the site of the bomb's epicenter was very sobering, not to mention the site of the 26 Christian martyrs. What pain Nagasaki has experienced! Clover garden was a beautiful and peaceful place to conclude the trip.
Thank you so much for your kind review Rupert. Was lovely to have tou and Jane on the tour. Thank you for catching up with us as well at Chinatown. I hope the rest of the cruise is going well. Kind regards. Pene
Pene and Esther were wonderful hosts and guides. We enjoyed the itinerary and the ease of getting around the city. The communication from Pene prior to the excursion was excellent and was very easy to understand and follow. We were met as indicated outside the cruise port and returned to the port with plenty of time to get through the screening process to get back on the ship. I highly recommend their tour when visiting Nagasaki.
We had such a wonderful time with you all back in April, and really appreciate that you took the time to leave a really kind review. It was a real treat for Esther as well to be with you all. She told me she loved every minute of it Thank you so much for choosing to take our tour, and for leaving such a kind review. We appreciate it so much. Sending you our warmest regards from Nagasaki Pene & Esther
Pene and his wife were exceptional, knowledgeable and gracious. I highly recommend them to anyone wishing those qualities in a tour guide. I couldn't have been more pleased. BTW this is the first review I felt inspired enough to leave a review.
Thank you so much for choosing to give your first review to our tour! It's an honor! We had such a lovely time guiding you all around Nagasaki, while also having some pretty good conversations on all a wide range of topics. We thoroughly enjoyed your company. Thank you again for choosing to take our tour. We truly appreciate it. Warmest regards, Pene & Kyoko
Fabulous tour - very cohesive historical tour with Pene and his lovely wife Kyoko. He started from Nagasaki's fishing village days, the introduction of Christianity and western and Chinese trade by the Portuguese, the building of the island village for the Portuguese, the expelling of the Portuguese and Spaniards to curb the growth of Christianity and colonization, the welcoming of the Dutch, the isolationism from western world, the challenges from the US and the unequal treaties, the ties to Thomas Glover with the samurai, and the relationships leading to Pearl Harbor. The sites we visited were linked sequentially building the history all the way to the Peace Park. Pene was very gracious, informative, pleasant. He taught us etiquette in taxis and trams and gave us guidance on respecting the Japanese hosts. An excellent day - thanks Pene!
It was a pleasure to guide you all around Nagasaki the other day. Reading reviews like yours are such huge compliments and let us know we are on the right track. Thank you so much for taking our tour. I hope the rest of your trip goes well. All the best Pene and Kyoko
By far our favorite tour on our 12-day cruise! Pene was friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and a great educator. He was also very good at communicating with us via text and phone before and during the tour. It was an excellent intro to the history and key sites of Nagasaki. The tour was well-paced and thoroughly organized. Pene’s spouse, Kyoko, accompanied the tour group and also helped keep us on track. Take this tour… you will love it!
We loved having you all on our tour. And so glad that the sites and commentary did the trick for you both. With all the tour options out there, thank you for choosing to take ours. We really appreciate it. Thank you again for the kind review. All the best. Pene and Kyoko.

We were so lucky to have found this tour led by Pene and Kyoko! Pene was an excellent tour guide whose knowledge of Japanese history was quite inpressive. Pene and Kyoko were also very responsive to our group of 11. We saw all the highlights of Nagasaki and learned a great deal about the history of Japan! i would highly recommend Pene - he was very articulate and interesting!
Jann, It was such a pleasure to guide you lovely people around Nagasaki yesterday. Thank you so much for this kind review. I hope the rest of your time in Japan and on the cruise goes well and thank you once again. Kindest regards, Pene and Kyoko.
While I had been to Nagasaki on business over 20 years ago, my wife had never visited. So we were excited that our cruise ship was spending almost a whole day in port, giving us a chance to see some of the highlights of this important historical city. We typically enjoy private or small group tours much more than the big bus tours. The service is much more personalized, allowing for flexibility in itinerary and walking speed, and more time for questions. We found this to be true with this tour. There were 3-4 parties from our ship who signed up, totaling just 11 people. Native English-speaker (born and raised in New Zealand) Pene led the tour, assisted by his lovely wife Kyoko. Pene’s English was of course perfect, not something you can always count on when booking tours in Asia. But more importantly, he really made the history of Nagasaki and the various sites we visited come alive. He did this by giving the down-to-earth perspectives of different stakeholders over the centuries — be it the Portuguese, Dutch, British, Chinese, Russians, Americans, or Japanese. As retirees, we travel and tour extensively and I can tell you this makes a huge difference in one’s understanding and enjoyment. Pene is one of the best at doing this that we’ve encountered. From a logistics perspective, the tour was very well organized. Pene’s pre-tour communication was excellent with information not only on meeting time and exact location as expected, but also on options for lunch and for returning to ship early if too tired. My wife walks more slowly than many and depending on the terrain, sometimes uses a walking stick. So Pene helped us understand what to expect beforehand and we decided not to bother with the walking aid. Throughout the tour, Kyoko made sure that we were not separated from the group or lost by walking behind us. Pre-lunch travel was via reserved taxis to take us to the viewpoint (we visited a great alternative to Mt. Inasa due to repairs/construction there), temple (where we learned the rituals of purifying our hands and of contributing coins provided by Pene for good luck), Dejima, Atomic Bomb Museum (a most sobering educational experience) and Peace Park. The group then opted to take the included public tram to lunch, followed by a short walk through Chinatown to the Church and Glover Garden. We saw a lot of Nagasaki in just one day. Pene gave each of us the option of breaking off from the group and returning to the ship early if too tired, but we all chose to stay till the end as we were learning so much. By then, we felt like Pene and Kyoko were knowledgeable family friends showing us the city where they have lived and raised a family for the past 20+ years.
Wow! Kind reviews like yours let us know you’ve not only enjoyed the tour but that we are on the right track. We really appreciate your kind words and are glad that you and your wife stayed with us right to the end. We had such a good time together. Visiting Mt Kanmuriyama as an alternative was actually a really good choice in terms of time and location. The view actually works better for taking in many of the places that aren’t visible from Mt Inasa so we are glad that worked out well. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your cruise and thank you so much for choosing to take a tour with us. All the best Pene and Kyoko.
Our tour guide Pene was great. The whole trip was well planned and informative. We visited countless amazing places in Nagasaki. The tour was worth every penny. I highly recommend Pene’s Tours and i give it 5 stars. - Couple from Finland
It was a pleasure to guide you two lovely people from Finland around Nagasaki. I appreciate your kind review and that you chose to take my tour when you have so many options out there. I hope the rest of your cruise went well. Kindest regards from Nagasaki. Pene
