Nagasaki: Battleship Island Cruise and Dejima - A Boat Journey Through Harbor Town History

A boat journey course to experience the sea and history in a single day in Nagasaki, the harbor town that was once Japan's only window to the outside world. In the morning, stroll through Dejima (出島), a fan-shaped artificial island, and time-slip into the Edo period through the reconstructed merchant quarter. After previewing the island's former life with the powerful images at the Battleship Island Digital Museum, enjoy a fresh seafood rice bowl with ingredients shipped directly from the harbor at Dejima Wharf. In the afternoon, comes the highlight: a landing cruise to Hashima (端島), the world heritage Battleship Island. The moment when the ship-like silhouette draws near across the sea—your heart cannot help but race. The finale is the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum perched on a canal, where you'll overlook the harbor at dusk from the rooftop garden. Experience a day uniquely Nagasaki, traveling through history aboard a ship, gently rocked by the waves.
