The traditional bus guide read aloud and sang songs, which really touched me after visiting the Atomic Bomb Museum. The bus was spacious, which was great considering the number of participants.昔ながらのバスガイドさんで、朗読や歌を歌ってくれたりして、原爆資料館を見た後にジーンときました。参加人数に対して、バスがゆったりで良かったです~

It was unfortunate that the weather was rainy and then clear, but considering my own actions, I thought traveling by bus and sightseeing was a good choice. By using the morning and afternoon courses on the first day of sightseeing, I was able to get an overview of Nagasaki City, which helped me plan for the following days. The guide's stories were also informative.雨が降ったり止んだりのあいにくの天気でしたが、自分で行動することを考えると、バスでの移動、観光がよかったと思いました。観光初日に午前と午後のコースを利用したことで長崎市内の概要がわかり、2日目以降の計画を立てるのに役立ちました。
ガイドさんのお話も勉強になりました。

Since it was my first time in Nagasaki, I chose a bus tour instead of exploring on my own. I found the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum fascinating and wanted to take my time to look around. If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to visit it.初めての長崎だったので個人で回るよりバスツアーにしました。
長崎原爆資料館は興味深くゆっくり見たかったのです。
また行く機会があれば見学したいです。

I was glad to be able to visit various places in one day. It felt like I was able to see most of Nagasaki. However, I wish I had more time at the Atomic Bomb Museum. I wanted enough time to watch the entire movie. Since there isn't much to see at Dejima, it would make for a more fulfilling tour if that time could be allocated to the museum instead.1日で、いろいろなところを回れてよかった。長崎見学がほぼできた感じである。ただ、原爆資料館での見学時間が少なかった。映画が終わりまで見れる時間がほしかった。出島での見学は、そんなにないので、その時間を資料館にまわせたら、もっと充実したツアーになるのではないか。

This Nagasaki sightseeing bus tour is divided into morning and afternoon courses, and you can participate in just the morning or just the afternoon, but it's more economical to join both.

The morning course includes visits to the Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park, and Dejima, where you can get off the bus and explore. The afternoon course includes the Confucius Shrine and Glover Garden, which requires an additional fee, as well as the Oura Church. There is a lunch break of about an hour and a half …

There is a lunch break of about an hour and a half at Nagasaki Station between the morning and afternoon courses.

Nagasaki has many hills, so walking around on your own can be quite challenging. The sightseeing bus takes you close to the attractions, allowing you to see Nagasaki's famous sites with less walking, which I recommend. However, you will need to walk quite a bit at Glover Garden.
この長崎観光バスツアーは午前と午後のコースに分かれていて、午前だけ、午後だけでも参加できますが、両方通して参加すると料金がお得になります。
午前のコースは、原爆資料館、平和公園、出島でバスから降りて見学できます。午後のコースは、孔子廟、グラバー園と別料金になりますが、大浦天主堂となります。午前と午後のコースの間は1時間半ほど長崎駅でランチ休憩があります。
長崎は坂が多いので、自分で歩いて回るとかなり大変です。観光バスは名所の近くまで行ってくれるので、それほど歩かなくて長崎名所を回れるのでオススメです…

Not only did they guide us through the key points, but I was also impressed by the professionalism of the guide, who conveyed information ahead of time. They provided very clear and thorough instructions on the meeting point and what to do if we chose to leave the tour for some free time.

On the way back, we walked through Dutch Slope and Chinatown, and smoothly returned to the station by taking the streetcar. Thank you very much!
初めての長崎市観光なので、観光地の全体像を知りたくて午前の平和の祈りコースと午後の異国情緒コース両方をドッキングさせた一日コースをお願いしました。
要所要所をきちんと案内して下さるのはもちろん、ガイドさんの先の先を伝えるプロ意識に感銘致しました。集合場所の案内、途中でツアーを離れて自由行動を選んだ場合にはどうすればいいのか?を非常に分かりやすく丁寧に教えて頂けました。
帰りは徒歩でオランダ坂、中華街へ行き、駅に向かって路面電車に乗って駅前にスムーズに戻れました♪ありがとうございました!

A trip to Nagasaki with my daughter! We participated in a tour.
I deeply felt the horrors of war and the atomic bomb.
This was a valuable tour that made me realize how my perspective on life and the world has changed through the experiences I had in such a limited time. I want to visit Nagasaki again!
What a wonderful city Nagasaki is.
娘と二人の長崎旅行!ツアーに参加させて頂きました。
戦争の恐ろしさ、原爆の4恐ろしさを身に染みて感じさせられました。
限られた時間の中で経験したことが今後の生活や物を見る目が変わったことを感じさせられた貴重なツアーでした。もう一度行きたい長崎!
素敵な街長崎。

I went on a 3-night, 4-day trip to Kyushu from Sapporo. I rented a car at Fukuoka Airport, but I wanted to efficiently explore Nagasaki, so I signed up for a bus tour. Driving in an unfamiliar area can be challenging, and searching for parking and buying admission tickets can surprisingly take a lot of time, so I was glad to join the tour. The recitation of "Kono Ko o Nokoshite" by the guide, Takashi Nagai, also left a deep impression on me.札幌から3泊4日の九州旅行に行って来ました。福岡空港でレンタカーを借りたのですが、長崎では効率良く観光したいと思いバスツアーに申し込みました。知らない土地での運転は大変ですし、駐車場を探したり入場券を買うのも意外と時間を取られるので、ツアーに参加して良かったです。ガイドさんの永井隆の「この子を残して」の暗唱も、とても心に残りました。

I made my reservation just before my trip to Nagasaki. I thought Nagasaki was a good place for sightseeing because it has trams and buses, but since it's a hilly city, I opted for the regular sightseeing bus. The guide and the driver were very kind. It was great to be able to get to the places I wanted to visit smoothly and in a short amount of time.長崎旅行の直前に申し込みました。長崎は、路面電車やバスがあるので観光するには良いと思いましたが、坂道の多い街なので定期観光バスにしました。

At the Atomic Bomb Museum, we unfortunately didn't have enough time, so I may need to visit again. We also ran out of time at Glover Garden. Although it wasn't included in the tour, we visited Oura Cathedral, which is on the way to Glover Garden, for about 15 minutes. It was a great opportunity to learn about the diverse aspects of Nagasaki, which has deep connections to the atomic bomb, international trade, and Christianity. このツアー、本当に良かった。ガイドさんによると、4キロ四方以内に概ね観光すべきところが集まっている長崎ではありますが、個人でまわると、それなりに時間がかかります。このツアーは、コンパクトにぎゅっとまとめてくれているので、初めて長崎を訪問する観光客にとっては、効率のよいツアーかと思います。勿論、各観光地の入場料込みの金額です。原爆資料館では流石に時間が足りず、改めて、訪問する必要があるかもしれません。またグラバー園も時間が足りなかったです。ツアーには含まれていませんが、グラバー園へ徒歩で向かう途中… このツアー、本当に良かった。ガイドさんによると、4キロ四方以内に概ね観光すべきところが集まっている長崎ではありますが、個人でまわると、それなりに時間がかかります。このツアーは、コンパクトにぎゅっとまとめてくれているので、初めて長崎を訪問する観光客にとっては、効率のよいツアーかと思います。勿論、各観光地の入場料込みの金額です。原爆資料館では流石に時間が足りず、改めて、訪問する必要があるかもしれません。またグラバー園も時間が足りなかったです。ツアーには含まれていませんが、グラバー園へ徒歩で向かう途中にある大浦天主堂にも15分程度訪問しました。原爆、海外との貿易、キリスト教との縁が深い多様な側面を持つ長崎を知るいい機会となりました。

The bus guide provided a detailed account of Nagasaki's history, particularly regarding the atomic bomb, which was quite moving. At the Atomic Bomb Museum, they guided us on what to see in a short amount of time, allowing us to navigate efficiently. Although it was spring break, the bus was only about half full, making for a relaxed experience.バスガイドさんが、長崎の歴史、特に原爆についての事を詳しく話してくださり、感慨深いものがありました。
原爆博物館でも、短い時間の中見るべきものを教えてくださり、効率よく回ることができました。春休みでしたが、お客さんもバス半分くらいでのんびり回ることができました。

Most of the participants, including myself, were seniors, but the time management was reasonable, and it was physically comfortable. The view of Nagasaki Port from Glover Garden was so beautiful that I lost track of time and just wanted to keep looking at it.

As soon as I got home, I found myself wanting to visit Nagasaki again. I definitely hope to join the next tour as well.

Thank you very much.
