Nagasaki Private Halfday Walking Tour Atomic Bomb & Peace Stories

3 to 4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Hi, I’m Hannah, a local tour guide from Nagasaki.

I was born and raised in Nagasaki, and my family has deep roots here

—my grandfather was actually in the city when the atomic bomb dropped.

Because of this personal connection, I created a tour that goes beyond traditional sightseeing. On this private walking tour, we’ll explore Nagasaki’s atomic bomb history and recovery through real stories, open questions, and thoughtful reflection.

Instead of simply listening to a guide, you’ll have opportunities to look closely, ask questions, share your thoughts, and connect what you see with the lived experiences of local people.

Because this is a private tour, we can slow down, talk about the things that interest you, and take time to process what you see. We’ll visit key sites connected to the atomic bombing, while also sharing the hope and life of the city today.

My goal isn’t simply to give you facts. It’s to help you discover your own unique perspective on Nagasaki.
