Title: What's a Full-Day Private Nagasaki Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
I met the guests in the hotel lobby at 9:30. First, we took the tram to Peace Park, took a photo in front of the statue, and walked to Urakami Cathedral. The guests were surprised to learn that the Pope had visited there. We then walked to the Atomic Bomb Museum, where I explained the damage caused by the atomic bombing. We took the tram to the station, saw the Church of the 26 Martyrs, and then went to Mount Inasa by bus and ropeway. The guests enjoyed the scenery. We returned to the station and had lunch at a ramen shop. When I mentioned that Sofukuji Temple is a National Treasure, the guests said they wanted to see it even if it meant paying an additional fee, so we took the tram to Sofukuji. They said the temple was magnificent and that they were glad to have gone. Finally, we walked back to the hotel. Since I had heard that they had visited Dejima, Glover Garden, and Oura Cathedral the previous day, we toured the other sights, and I believe the guests were satisfied.
