I decided to visit the venue on the spur of the moment, and for the first time I thought of the Klook function, which allowed me to place an order online on the spot and use it immediately after purchase, which was really convenient.

The location is convenient, just above AMU or should I say co-construction?! Just on the right hand side when you get out of the station. The room is clean, the service is friendly, and they let us check in early if there is a room available!

World Cultural Heritage Site, the overall arrangement and process is also very smooth, the boat environment and seating is also good, fortunately that day even if the weather is not very good rain can also arrange to see the island, before landing the boat around the warship island turned around so that the people on the boat can see and take pictures up close. And because I am a Hong Kong tourist do not understand Japanese also gave me a Traditional Chinese translation, which contains all the information content that the tour guide will say, overall very worth recommending!

Great experience at the Atomic Bomb Museum. You can enter at any time after 8:30 am. To enter, simply present your voucher and let the employee validate your ticket online. The museum has a lot of information, photos and objects that explain the entire scenario of the dropping of the Atomic bomb on Nagasaki. A very educational and thought-provoking tour. I recommend it!

The stunning images are worth a visit! Take the subway to Oura Catholic Church Station and follow the crowd up a little to check in at the History Museum. It is recommended to arrive before 11:30 for the noon session. After checking in, you can visit the nearby Catholic church and the surrounding buildings, which are full of history and culture.
