Nagasaki je uspio svoju tužnu ostavštinu pretvoriti u poruku nade i mira. Dok kroz emocionalno snažnu turu mjestima na kojima se čini da je vrijeme stalo pratimo trenutke tragedije koja je pogodila grad, posjećujemo i katoličku crkvu Urakami te moderni most Megami.

• Vrata svetišta Sannō Jinja, simbol nuklearne tragedije
• Muzej atomske bombe
• Park mira i Ground Zero
• Kupovina
• Katolička crkva Urakami

Nalaze se približno 800 metara od mjesta eksplozije bombe, a ipak je jedan od dva nosiva stupa ostao netaknut, gotovo kao znak nade preživjelima.
• U muzeju se u tišini krećemo među predmetima prikupljenima kao svjedočanstvo tog zloglasnog dana, uključujući sat koji se zaustavio u 11:02, u trenutku katastrofe. Muzej želi biti oda miru, ali istodobno i upozorenje cijelom čovječanstvu.
• Nastavljamo prema Parku mira i Ground Zerou, gdje crni monolit označava hipocentar. Pogled nam se zaustavlja na brončanom Kipu mira, koji kao da ukazuje na prijetnju s neba, ali i na želju za mirom. Fontana mira izgrađena je ispred skulpture 1969. godine. Tekuća voda simbolizira život koji ne prestaje i preporod grada. Šetajući parkom, nalazimo mnoge druge skulpture i ploče koje su gradu donirale zemlje iz cijelog svijeta.
• Atmosfera se mijenja dok nastavljamo do obližnje trgovine radi kupnje suvenira za ponijeti kući.
• Vraćamo se u autobus i krećemo prema katoličkoj crkvi Urakami, podignutoj 1914. i obnovljenoj 1959. nakon razaranja atomskom bombom. I dalje se smatra najljepšom crkvom romaničkog stila na Orijentu, a posjetio ju je papa Ivan Pavao II. 1981. godine.
• Prije povratka na brod zaustavljamo se kod mosta Megami, jednog od arhitektonskih simbola grada izgrađenog 2005. godine, kako bismo snimili fotografije i uživali u malo kupovine.
• Ukrcavamo se u autobus i nakon kratke vožnje vraćamo se u luku.

• Ovaj izlet ne preporučuje se gostima smanjene pokretljivosti.
