Activity itinerary

Oura Catholic Church

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
Oura Cathedral is Japan’s oldest surviving Christian church and one of Nagasaki’s most historically significant landmarks. Built in the 19th century soon after Japan reopened to the world, the cathedral is closely connected to the dramatic history of Christianity in Japan, including centuries of persecution and the later rediscovery of believers who kept their faith in secret. With its elegant Western-style architecture and powerful historical context, Oura Cathedral offers visitors a rare opportunity to encounter a chapter of Japanese history shaped by faith, resilience, and international exchange.

Glover Garden

  • 1h 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Glover Garden is a hillside open-air museum overlooking Nagasaki Harbour, showcasing beautifully preserved Western-style residences from the late 19th century. The site reflects Nagasaki’s role as Japan’s gateway to international trade and modernization during the Meiji period. Among the highlights is the former residence of Thomas Glover, a Scottish merchant associated with the introduction of new technology and industry to Japan. Walking through the gardens, visitors can experience the atmosphere of early modern Japan and gain insight into how global connections reshaped daily life, architecture, and the city’s identity.
