Things to do in Nagasaki Prefecture

Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki is a spectacular portal that transports you from the heart of Japan straight into a meticulously recreated European landscape. Wandering through its Dutch-style townscape—complete with iconic windmills, picturesque canals, and grand brick architecture—it is easy to forget you haven’t actually crossed the globe to the Netherlands. ​For the ultimate experience, visit in February. As a non-peak travel month, it offers the perfect balance of stunning winter scenery and peaceful exploration. You can enjoy the breathtaking "Kingdom of Lights" illumination without the typical crowds, ensuring you won't have to fall in line for attractions for long.

Experience: I recommend setting aside some time to first visit the Battleship Island Digital Museum to carefully read about the history of Battleship Island. There is a lot of information, which is very helpful for understanding Battleship Island. The weather was nice on the day of boarding, but the waves in the center of the sea were still very big. We finally managed to land on the island. Although we could only visit a small part, it was a truly special travel experience. Thank you to the tour guide for the explanation and the assistant for the help.

i got goosebumps the whole time i was in the museum. it was a good reminder and understanding of what happened with the Nagasaki.

This tour is a great way to spend a day outside Fukuoka. The itinerary was nice it covered places in Itoshima and Yanagawa. Our guide Owen is nice. Despite being a Chinese group tour, explained to us everything in English very well. He's also very patient and he takes our photos very well too. If I could give 10 stars I would. Plus he's very good looking. Overall I really enjoyed this trip. Thank you!

One of the highlights of our cruise. If you are on a Cruise yourself "do not do it through the ship ". Book the first sailing (10.00) and catch a local bus (30 mins)or taxi (10 mins). We had about 50-100 people on this sailing and you were able to move around , pick a seat, take photos from different positions..Terrific. On our return the queue for the ship with the organised tour was horrendous. we watched them keep loading people on and on. Must have bern over 200-300 people.Which ever position they got on the ship, that was it. Packed in like sardines. It must have been horrendous.

it was easy to find the bus that would take us to Nagasaki. The time to go around Huis Ten Bosch was more than enough. The place was this incredibly beautiful and I loved how it mimicked Europe. There are multiple options for food, rides, and more. I had a fun time going on a date here. My partner had so much fun too.

The guide was on time and easy to talk to. We encountered an unforeseen closure or unavailability of an activity in my itinerary, he was helpful to suggest an alternative nearby. And was patient to wait for us to be done at each place.

Booking the tickets on Klook was very fuss free and instant. I got the confirmation immediately and just followed the instructions to gain access to the gardens. Price was also comparable to the existing admission tickets on site. Garden was very nice and quaint overall had a great time.

a nice zoo like experience that is not crowded. don't forget to visit the dog and cats petting section as it's outside the main section after the exit.
