【長崎】 Nagasaki Port Shore Excursion: Shrines and Torii Gates in the Sea Day Tour

The cruise ship docks at Nagasaki Port (8:00-19:00). A private car and guide holding a welcome sign will meet you at the pier to begin a premier one-day shore excursion. In the morning, visit Suwa Shrine, the chief guardian shrine of Nagasaki, and climb the long stone steps for a panoramic view of the cityscape. Afterward, head to Hamamachi Shopping Street for independent lunch and shopping for souvenirs such as Castella sponge cake and cosmetics. In the afternoon, drive to Saga to visit Yutoku Inari Shrine, known as the "Nikko of Kyushu," featuring multi-layered vermilion gate towers and thousands of torii gates winding up the mountainside; reaching the summit offers views of the Ariake Sea. Next, visit the floating torii gates of Ouo Shrine in the sea. At high tide, the torii gates appear to float on the water, while at low tide, visitors can walk right up to their bases. It is a highly popular photography spot in the outskirts of Nagasaki. Depart at approximately 16:30 and arrive back at the port by 17:50,
