Nagasaki Historical Highlights Tour Overview: Visit the Atomic Bomb Museum, with over 900 artifacts indicative of the city’s devastation, as well as displays on modern nuclear technology and concerns. As you browse the displays, you will learn about the city’s culture before the bomb struck and the aftermath of the atomic blast. You can expect to see photographs of the widespread destruction to buildings such as the Urakami Cathedral and neighborhoods that were reduced to ruins. Nagasaki’s Peace Park commemorates the city’s destruction by the plutonium bomb dropped on August 9, 1945. Although Fat Man, the name given to the second bomb dropped on Japan, missed its target by over a mile and a half, it leveled nearly half the city. The park’s main attraction is its collection of statues and sculptures donated by countries and groups all over the world. This includes the massive Peace Memorial Statue depicting a man with his right arm pointing to the sky to indicate the continued threat of nuclear destruction. A short walk will take you to Hypocenter. Dejima was once an artificial island in the port of Nagasaki. It played an important role in the development of culture, industry, and science in Japan by serving as a gateway to the West. Several Dejima's historical structures have been restored to its 19th century state during the Edo period and are part of Dejima Historical Museum. Glover Garden is located on a hill overlooking the port of Nagasaki. It was the former residence of Thomas Blake Glover, a Scottish merchant who played a key role in Japan’s modernization during the Meiji Restoration. Glover Garden is not just a historical site but a symbol of Japan’s opening to the world and modernization in the 19th century. Note : Glover Garden is located on the hill and guests will need to walk up steep hill. If any guests wish to skip this, they can leave the tour and make their own way back to the ship.
