What Is a Private Nagasaki Walking and Tram Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
I met the guests at 9:00 at the Matsugae Terminal. We traveled by tram, transferring at Shinchi Chinatown, to reach Peace Park, which was extremely crowded. At Peace Park, I explained about the damage caused by the atomic bomb, the support provided by various countries, and Urakami Cathedral. We then moved to the Atomic Bomb Museum, where I explained the effects of the bomb and the circumstances that led to the war. The guests said it was important to know the facts. Next, we took the tram to the Dejima Museum, where I gave an explanation of the site. The guests said they had not known about the history of ceramics. We walked to Chinatown for a light meal. We then took the tram to Oura Church and Glover Garden for a visit, and the guests were amazed by the view from Glover Garden. We moved to the Confucius Shrine, where I explained about Confucianism, and then walked back to the Matsugae Terminal to part ways. The guests seemed very interested in Japanese history and asked many questions about how the war came about. They also seemed to be reading books on Japanese history, and I believe I was able to satisfy their curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
