From the Atomic Bomb Museum to the scenic charm of Glover Garden, this experience offers a deep dive into Nagasaki's past and present, along with a taste of its iconic local cuisine.
Head to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, whose thoughtfully designed exhibits enable all visitors to engage fully with the experience. Through photographs, artifacts, scale models, and multimedia displays, the museum conveys the events of August 9, 1945, the human impact of the atomic bomb, and Nagasaki's enduring message of peace and nuclear disarmament.
Lunch features Nagasaki champon, a regional specialty with Chinese influences. This hearty noodle dish is made with a rich white soup from pork or chicken bones, thick noodles, and an assortment of vegetables, meat, and seafood.
The journey continues to Glover Garden, home to beautifully preserved Western-style residences from the late 19th century. These homes belonged to foreign merchants who played a key role in Japan's modernization. The garden's cobblestone paths and scenic views of Nagasaki Port provide a glimpse into the city's past, with three of its buildings designated Important Cultural Properties by the Japanese government.
Shop and stroll/roll at Glover Hill, where small stores offer local crafts, souvenirs, and taste treats.
