FULL ITINERARY

Ship Arrival

Upon your ship’s arrival at Nagasaki Port, your friendly local guide and private driver will warmly welcome you for a memorable cultural and historical journey through Takeo and Nagasaki. Relax in your private vehicle as you travel through scenic countryside landscapes toward one of Saga Prefecture’s most charming heritage areas with our carefully designed Nagasaki shore excursions.

Yoko Museum

Your first destination is the elegant Yoko Museum, home to an impressive collection of ancient ceramics and porcelain from some of China’s most prosperous dynasties, including the Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing periods. The museum showcases remarkable masterpieces such as blue-and-white porcelain jars, delicate peach bloom glazed vases, and intricately crafted porcelain artworks that reflect centuries of Asian artistic excellence.

Keishuen Japanese Garden

Continue your shore excursion with a peaceful visit to Keishuen Japanese Garden, a beautifully designed landscape garden created in traditional Japanese style. Stroll along quiet walking paths surrounded by seasonal flowers, tranquil ponds, carefully arranged stone formations, and graceful waterfalls. Constructed using more than 2,000 tons of rock, the garden offers a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation and appreciation of Japanese aesthetics.

Peace Memorial Park

After exploring Takeo, return to Nagasaki for a meaningful visit to Peace Memorial Park, dedicated to the victims of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The park stands as a solemn reminder of the tragedy of war and a symbol of hope for world peace. Nearby memorials and exhibits provide deeper insight into the devastating impact of the bombing and its lasting legacy.

Dejima Island View

On the return drive to the port, enjoy a passing view of Dejima, the historic man-made island that once served as the center of foreign trade and cultural exchange during Japan’s period of isolation. This fascinating site reflects Nagasaki’s unique international heritage and historical importance.

After the tour, you’ll be transferred back to Nagasaki Port in time for your cruise departure. Thank you for traveling with Asia Shore Excursions!
