Board your motor coach at the pier for a scenic city drive through Nagasaki en route to the moving Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum. In 1945, an estimated 75,000 people perished when the city became the second target of a nuclear attack. Today, Nagasaki's Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum draw visitors from around the world and serve as both a reminder of the tragedy and a memorial to all those who lost their lives.
On August 9, 1945, Nagasaki became the second city to suffer a nuclear attack. Peace Memorial Park is located near Ground Zero, the center of the blast. It was created to represent the vow that such a tragedy would not happen again and offers hope for world peace. A Nagasaki native created the statue that is the focal point of the park. The 30-foot-high "Statue of Peace" is a symbol of world peace.
After your visit, your city drive continues through to the Urakami Catholic Church. The original structure was built in 1879 after a long ban on Christianity was lifted. When the atomic bomb was dropped it completely destroyed the church. In 1959 this stately Romanesque building was built on the original site. It was remodeled in 1980 and stands as a symbol of persecution. Displayed on the church grounds are statues and artifacts damaged during the bombing.
Peruse the adjacent Atomic Bomb Museum and view the permanent exhibit of photographs taken in the city immediately after the atomic blast. You will also see video displays and artifacts that survived the explosion.
Located near the Atomic Bomb Museum is a monument that marks the center of the atomic blast that leveled the city. A black, square, stone column marks the exact point where the bomb exploded.
Your driving route also passes the famed one-legged Torii Gate. The ancient stone gate stands on only one pillar since the other was blown away by the atomic blast. The gate has been preserved in its post-explosion state as a reminder of the destructive force of the bomb.
At the completion of the tour, a scenic drive brings you back to port.
