"This serial property consists of ten villages, remains of the Hara Castle and a cathedral. These sites bear unique testimony to a cultural tradition nurtured by hidden Christians in the Nagasaki region who secretly transmitted their faith during the period of prohibition from the 17th to the 19th century."
Walk with your guide tour through Nagasaki's old Foreign Settlement. Visit Oura Church, the oldest wooden church in Japan, built in 1865.
Explore Glover Garden, named for a 19th-century Scots merchant who strongly influenced the industrialization of Japan.
Tour the small Museum of Traditional Performing Arts to see the furnishings and floats used during Nagasaki's Kunchi Festival. This is one of the three great festivals celebrated in Japan annually.
You’ll have time for shopping at the small museum gift shop and among the street vendors outside of Glover Garden.
Please note: This tour involves approximately three hours of walking and standing;. Please realistically assess your physical fitness and ability prior to booking, as the walk is uphill, over uneven terrain with many steps. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring local currency for purchases.
