A Tranquil Plea for Eternal Peace Learn about one of the most pivotal moments in world history and its human cost to the people of Nagasaki.

Accompanied by your guide, view insightful exhibits chronicling the city and its people before, during and after the bombing. Listen to a heartbreaking account from a survivor and see artifacts that bring the disaster to life, including some of the victims’ belongings, leaflets dropped by American forces warning of the bomb and a clock that stopped at precisely 11:02, the moment of the detonation. After, continue to the Nagasaki Peace Park, established in 1955 to commemorate the victims of the bomb and promote world peace, where you will have time to view its many monuments before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
