DETAILED ITINERARY

As one of Japan’s closest port cities to the Asian mainland, Nagasaki has played a prominent role in foreign trade relations for many centuries and was the most important of only a very few ports open to restricted numbers of foreign traders during Japan’s period of isolation. In more recent history, Nagasaki became the second city after Hiroshima to be destroyed by an atomic bomb towards the end of World War II.

We start off in Nagasaki, an attractively situated port city on the island of Kyushu and the capital of Nagasaki Prefecture. After picking you up in one of our luxurious private vehicles, we will drive you through some truly spectacular views to the three destinations of your choice.
