Nagasaki Trips & Tours

Isolated from the rest of Japan for many, many decades, Nagasaki was once the most ‘global’ city in the country, with European and Chinese ideas and cuisine becoming a part of its multi-layered fabric. In fact, a steaming bowl of Nagasaki champon tells that story better than anything else. If you’re really into your history, then a visit to Oura Church, Japan’s oldest Christian church is a given, while the restored Dejima Island makes for a fascinating walkabout whilst the Nagasaki Peace Park is a reminder of the past while championing hope for the future. For the absolute best view of Nagasaki (especially at sunset), ride the ropeway to the summit of Mount Inasa as the sky shifts from orange to purple.
