Excellent boat trip well organised with plenty of opportunities for photos and trip round the outer harbour of Nagasaki.

Highly Recommend!

The staff was very helpful. Arriving at scheduled time allows for visit to digital museum which was very interesting. The boat tour itself was great. Although completely in Japanese, English translations available made trip very interesting and informative about this historical time in Nagasaki.

Highly Recommend!
