Discover the charms of Nagasaki

• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Stay: ANA Crowne Plaza Nagasaki Gloverhill (Superior Twin)

Grab your overnight bag and take the bullet train Kamome and limited express train Relay-Kamome to stretch out to Nagasaki! Discover the eclectic ambience that Nagasaki offers – from the oldest catholic church in Japan, Oura Tenshudo to a foreign settlement site, Glover Garden. Nagasaki was Japan’s only window to the world during the period of national isolation that went for 200 years, and the mixture of cultures you can see in the city gives you a unique insight of Japanese history.
The tour will also include a visit to Peace Park, a tranquil place of prayer for world peace.
In the evening, enjoy one of the most spectacular night views of Japan from the summit of Mt. Inasa.

Please note: The footpaths in Glover Park are a series of sloping hills and uneven cobblestones. Please use the moving walkways where available.

Experience the time-frozen Gunkanjima island

• Meals: Breakfast
• Stay: Miyako Hotel Hakata (Superior Twin or Superior Double)

Located about 20km offshore from Nagasaki port floats an abandoned “battleship island”. The nickname coming from its battleship-like silhouette, this concrete-made island was once a symbol of Japan’s industrialization with its coal mining in the 1960s. It is now an uninhabited World Heritage site, also known from being featured in a James Bond film. Set sail to land on the island and imagine the way of life of its former inhabitants. After immersing in the Bond movie set, you will take a short stop at Dejima, a historic Dutch trading post island in Nagasaki before taking a trip back in time for the train home.
After coming back to Fukuoka by limited express train, enjoy free time to explore the local delicacies.
