Nagasaki
A self-guided audio walking tour of Nagasaki.
Nagasaki sits in a bowl of green hills sloping to one of Japan's most storied harbours, and the city that grew here is unlike anywhere else in the country. For centuries it was Japan's only open window to the outside world, and you can still trace that in the Dutch trading post at Dejima, the old churches, and the quiet dignity of the Peace Park. It is a place that carries grief and curiosity in the same breath. In the app, 32 stops in Nagasaki are narrated aloud, about 54m of listening across 3 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 37 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
