Matsugae International Port Terminal, in front of the immigration office
Why it is on this site
  • It starts at the Matsugae terminal in front of the immigration office, so you walk off the ship and into the car.
  • The car saves walking and is out of the rain, and it adds Mt. Inasa's daytime view, which is hard to fit in by tram.
  • Admission to Dejima, the Atomic Bomb Museum and Glover Garden is included; 18 reviews average 5.0.
Best for

Travellers who want to avoid Nagasaki's hills and stairs, or visit on a wet day.

Think twice if

Lunch is not included (the tour stops for it). Oura Cathedral is a pass-by, not a visit. All of these sights except Mt. Inasa are within tram range of the pier, so you could do much of this yourself.
