Title: What Can You See on a Private Nagasaki Day Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report

I met the guests at the Dejima Wharf at 9:00. First, we went to the Inasayama Observatory, where they enjoyed the view. Next, we visited the Dejima Museum, where I explained the history of ceramics and porcelain. After that, we had lunch and went to Peace Park, where we took photos in front of the statue and saw Urakami Cathedral. Then we took photos at Meganebashi Bridge, went to Sofukuji Temple to see its exterior, and visited Suwa Shrine, where the guests enjoyed the view. Finally, we went to Oura Cathedral, where they enjoyed some shopping, and then returned to the Dejima Wharf. Since one of the guests had difficulty walking, it was a pity that at Sofukuji Temple we could only see the gate area, but even the gate alone was magnificent, and the guests exclaimed in admiration. When I mentioned that many Chinese people used to live here, the guests asked about the cultural differences between Japan and China.
