Your tour begins at Nagasaki Port, where you will set off to explore the city’s most notable historical and cultural attractions.

Next, head to Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown, one of Japan’s well-known Chinatowns. Stroll through its colourful streets and experience the vibrant atmosphere reflecting Nagasaki’s long-standing Chinese cultural connections.

The tour then proceeds to Oura Cathedral and Glover Garden.
