Itinerary
[This tour does NOT include a visit to the museum] Dedicated to the Chinese thinker Confucius, the Nagasaki Confucius Shrine symbolizes the history of cultural exchange in Nagasaki, which served as the only window of trade during Japan's isolation period. This is Japan's only authentic Chinese-style mausoleum, with vibrant colors, elaborate carvings, and an exotic feel.
Glover Garden
Glover Garden is an open-air museum featuring relocated and restored historical buildings, including Western-style buildings, that were once scattered throughout Nagasaki City. After Japan opened its doors to the world, Nagasaki was one of the first cities to adopt Western culture, and developed as an international trade city. With this background, Glover Garden was registered as a World Heritage Site as part of the Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution. Its excellent location on high ground, offering a scenic view of Nagasaki Port, is also one of its attractions.
Nagasaki Peace Park
Walk through Nagasaki Peace Park, which was built in memory of the victims of the atomic bomb and to pray for world peace. This park is an important symbol of Nagasaki's contribution to world peace, and continues to pass on to future generations the strong message of Nagasaki—peaceful coexistence between different cultures and nations. Together with the English-speaking guide, see the Peace Statue and the Fountain of Peace within the park grounds.
