You might to define “we” - it’ll help people make suggestions on which attractions are better options in your list.

I'm a big fan of the delivery services in Japan. They're inexpensive and reliable. You might want to think about sending your luggage to Nagasaki or if it's a short stop maybe to the stop after that. It usually gets there the next day, unless it's further like Okinawa or Hokkaido. Then you can take an overnight bag that can be stored in a locker at a train station and have more flexibility that day.

Thanks for that tip about sending it on to the city after Nagasaki. I had read about the delivery services, but didn't think about using it because it is a quick stop in Nagasaki. I will definitely consider doing that if we decide to do something else that day.
